Gamescom Asia is returning this year, and it’s being held as an in-person event at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre in Singapore from October 20 to 22.
With over 80 exhibitors, a trade zone for industry heads to meet, and a visitors exhibit holding tons of new games for players to check out, Gamescom Asia 2022 is definitely something you won’t want to miss out on if you can go in person.
The exhibition area also includes country pavilions hosted by trade associations from Singapore, Germany, and Sweden that showcase local game publishers and industry players, while Indie Village will also bring together the achievements and potential of indie game companies.
All registered delegates of the event can also use the gamescom biz community app to view and speak to exhibitors virtually, schedule meetings, check out the conference agenda, and more. As a joint digital platform with Gamescom and devcom, the app will remain accessible throughout the year, uniting all three business communities globally to provide visitors with updates and events.
