Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, this years Gamescom has been cancelled. Many industry folks had speculated that it would have to be pulled but the news broke from their Twitter account recently stating that under no circumstances was it to go ahead. The team are working on a digital event to take place at the end of August.
The convention takes place in Cologne, Germany and with over 370,000 attendees last year, Gamescom is regarded as a key player in video game trade fairs as it’s open to press and public, much like E3.

You know what, why don’t they just cancel everything at once so we can be done with this shit!
At least there won’t be anymore bad news. And once enough people die, there won’t be anyone left to get sick from the virus.
8 months of 2020 left.
