Gamescom Opening Night Live takes place soon, kicking off a week of gaming news, events, and more, as Gamecom as a brand continues to focus on its community. Fans and developers the world over have been taking part in Gamescom festivities since 2009, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Gamescom broke attendance records in 2019, just before the COVID-19 pandemic, and survived via digital and hybrid means during that time. The in-person event came back stronger than even its organizers expected, and Gamescom 2024 has already broken records, with it expected to break even more in the coming days.
