With so many other events on hold, “looking into situations,” or outright canceled, it would stand to reason that Gamescom would provide a similar statement: not so. According to the official Gamescom Twitter account as of just yesterday, the event is still happening and will actually be quite massive.
There is no air of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in any of their messaging, as the account has simply shared its initial exhibitors from the rooftops. The big ones are Microsoft and Nintendo, who will be attending without Sony (so far). Other major publishers like EA, Ubisoft and Sega will also be there alongside of hardware manufacturers like Corsair and Samsung. It’s going to be a big one!
