gamescom will be big this year as well. Although not all exhibitors have confirmed yet and the program is not final either, the prospects are already very promising.
In addition, some influencers will also be present this year. Last year, big names like Gnu, Hand of Blood, and MontanaBlack were in attendance. This year, some influencers apparently wanted to boycott gamescom because they no longer get free access, which Gronkh just shook his head at.
