While Microsoft made headlines with games like Starfield and Forza Motorsport at Gamescom 2023, other prominent publishers like Bandai Namco showcased titles like Tekken 8 and Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.
Falk also expressed the joy of what Gamescom brings to the city of Cologne beyond the confines of the Koelnmesse venue. He highlighted how the entire city immerses itself in gaming culture during the event, with festivals, concerts featuring game music, and even LAN parties held in campgrounds. It’s a convergence of all facets of gaming culture that makes Gamescom truly exceptional.
Falk notably refrained from comparing Gamescom to E3, emphasizing Gamescom’s community-oriented approach. While E3 leans heavily towards business, Gamescom maintains its focus on fostering a sense of community among gamers.
