Gamescom Kicks Off in Cologne with a Bang
The much-anticipated Gamescom event has officially begun in Cologne, Germany. The opening show was hosted by Eefje Depoortere, who excitedly declared, "We're here to play - and it's just getting started."
Among the esteemed guests at the event are Dorothee Bär, the federal research minister responsible for the industry, and Hendrik Wüst, the NRW minister president.
As the trade fair proper commences on Wednesday morning and continues until Sunday, over 1,500 exhibitors, a new record, have descended upon Cologne. These exhibitors are showcasing numerous trailers for upcoming video and computer games, aiming to excite fans and increase their purchasing readiness for the games' upcoming releases.
One of the highly anticipated games presented at Gamescom is "Call of Duty - Black Ops 7". This game features a team of up to four players battling in an apocalyptic future against both physical and psychological threats.
Another game that caught the attention of the audience is "Resident Evil" with its remake, "Requiem". This game centers around survival against the undead.
Streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Paramount+ are increasingly represented at Gamescom. Amazon Prime was part of the opening show, presenting the second season of the post-apocalyptic action series "Fallout". Ella Purnell, reprising her role as Lucy MacLean, and Walton Goggins, who plays the Ghoul, were highlighted during the presentation.
"Death by Scrolling", designed in a retro style reminiscent of gaming 30 years ago, also made an appearance. Ron Gilbert, known for his gaming success with "Monkey Island" in the 90s, presented this game.
"Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight" was showcased, featuring Lego characters in a comical fighting style. "World of Warcraft - Midnight" is another game shown, focusing on an end-time battle between elves and brutal creatures.
