Nintendo Is Returning to Gamescom in 2026

Gamescom, a huge video game event, has taken place every year in Cologne, Germany since 2009. It’s become the largest gaming expo in Europe, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. The event typically begins with Gamescom Opening Night Live, hosted by Geoff Keighley. The 2025 opening show featured trailers for games like World of Warcraft: Midnight and Black Myth: Zhong Kui, and a preview of the second season of Amazon’s Fallout TV series.
