After two years of running online-only events due to the coronavirus pandemic, Gamescom will return to the Cologne exhibition halls from 24 – 28 August this year, show organizers have announced today. The in-person event will incorporate additional safety measures such as improved admission management, digital queue management, extra-wide aisles, and limited ticket allotments to ensure the safety of participants.

This year’s Gamescom is over, and while it’s a year away, we already have a date for Gamescom 2022. Show organizers announced today that next year’s event will be held between August 24 and August 28.

The hope is that Gamescom 2022 will take place both in Cologne, Germany and online. However, the state of the world will ultimately affect the situation. There were originally plans for an in-person portion of Gamescom this year, but that didn’t end up happening.
