Gamescom banned: This is related to your ticket

No connection to PS5 and Xbox Series X

In 2020, Gamescom will not be held at the Cologne Exhibition Center. After all, major events in Germany are not prohibited until the end of August. Instead, the fair should be conducted as an online event. But what will the ticket you buy become?

Gamescom 2020 will not happen as usual. Due to the prohibition of large-scale events in Germany before the end of August, the game fair originally scheduled for August 25-29 in Cologne must be cancelled. However, organizers want to move the event to the Internet. However, it is unclear how Gamescom should run online. A Koelnmesse press release said that someone wanted to build on the mature format "gamescom: Opening Night Live" or "now gamescom".

"Gamescom now" is the video portal of the fair, and "gamecom: Opening Night" is the opening performance, and users can also follow online through real-time streaming media. Organizers plan to announce detailed information about the new Gamescom concept in mid-May. However, it is already clear that I bought a Gamescom ticket and refunded it in full. According to the press release, exhibitors should also refund the booth fee in full. The exact method of reimbursement will be announced in the next few weeks, and ticket holders and exhibitors are asked to be patient.

No connection to NextGen console

Cologne Gamescom is the second large-scale game fair after E3 crashed into the water. 2020 is especially exciting for gamers. Finally, with the help of Microsoft Xbox Xbox X and Sony ’s PS5, the next generation of game consoles is already in its infancy, and of course some of them hope to spend some time on Gamescom ’s new console.

In Germany, major incidents were prohibited until the end of August, but first, strict corona protection measures were relaxed. Next week, more stores will be allowed to open.
