We have the first confirmed participants for Gamescom 2021: many welcome confirmations, Ubisoft and Microsoft (with Bethesda) above all

We’ve known for a while that Gamescom it would return, albeit in an exclusively digital form, for the edition 2021: a little less obvious are instead the first confirmed participants, among which we are happy to communicate also appear Ubisoft e Microsoft. With the pandemic still not completely defeated, the list released so far is already something positively impressive, and publishers from across the Alps and overseas will certainly not be the only ones to peep out at the European videogame fair.

Confirmed the first big games: Ubisoft and Microsoft among the participants of Gamescom 2021

However, you can already expect others, such as Bandai Namco (reminds you of anything?), 505 Games, Koch Media, Headup, Thunderful Games and many more.

Oliver Frese, director of the event organizers in Cologne, emphasized the pandemic context that made the partner list even more impressive.

Naturally, the event will kick off the fair Gamescom Opening Night Live of August 25 presented by Geoff Keighley.
