gamescom 2022: Now Sony is also canceling and things are slowly getting thinner

PlayStation Studios will not be at gamescom.



PlayStation Studios will not be at gamescom.

This year, gamescom is returning to the grounds of Messe Köln, and according to the organizers, the halls will be filled with around 250 exhibitors. However, many major publishers will not be represented at the event, and now comes another bitter cancellation: Sony and the PlayStation team are also staying away from gamescom 2022 (via games economy).

What’s behind it? Sony does not comment on the reasons for the decision, but the number of corona cases, which is increasing again, could be related to it. Perhaps the company has been planning without gamescom 2022 for a long time, because Sony is increasingly relying on its own marketing formats such as the State of Play.

Many cancellations: Sony’s cancellation is just the next in a line of prominent names. In addition to the PlayStation team, Nintendo, Activision Blizzard, 2K and Rockstar Games, among others, are not involved.

These publishers are present: Of the really big companies, only Bandai Namco, SEGA and THQ Nordic have registered so far. In addition, the games industry expects commitments from Ubisoft, Electronic Arts and Microsoft Xbox (including Bethesda). However, this is not official yet. Here is the full list of all confirmed participants:

  • Aerosoft
  • Assemble Entertainment
  • Bandai Namco
  • HandyGames
  • Kalypso Media
  • Cook Media
  • level infinite
  • SEGA
  • THQ Nordic

Will indies save the fair? So there should be a lot of small indie studios among the 250 exhibitors. These are represented at the Indie Arena Booth, which is celebrating its return this year. Here you can try out dozens of demos for innovative and bold projects on site.
