Summary

  • Nintendo will attend Gamescom 2025 in Cologne from August 20 to 24.
  • The company was absent from the 2024 event.
  • It’s unclear what Nintendo will show during the trade fair, but fans are eager to hear release dates for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Nintendo has announced its plans to attend the annual Gamescom video game trade fair in Cologne, Germany, after skipping the 2024 event. As for what Nintendo will exhibit at Gamescom 2025, they have remained silent on the matter. However, they assured that they will be present during the main part of the event held at Koelnmesse.

Yearly since its establishment in 2009, Gamescom has been Europe‘s most extensive gaming exposition held every August. After the outbreak of COVID-19, Gamescom surpassed E3 to become the largest exhibition of its kind in the Western world. This event takes place at Koelnmesse, also known as the Cologne Trade Fair grounds, situated along the Rhine River. Due to its remarkable expansion, Gamescom now encompasses additional events like the upcoming Gamescom Asia in Thailand and the recently concluded Gamescom LATAM in Brazil. The 2024 broadcast of Gamescom Opening Night Live showcased anticipated titles such as “Borderlands 4” and “Mafia: The Old Country”.

Even though the specific game developers attending Gamescom 2025 haven’t been fully disclosed yet, it has been made clear that Nintendo plans to participate in this yearly event. As confirmed on their German social media platforms (with additional verification from MyNintendoNews), Nintendo will be present at Gamescom 2025, which takes place from August 20 to 24. Since they couldn’t attend last year’s show, Nintendo encourages fans to mark those dates on their calendars and looks forward to meeting attendees in Cologne for the annual gaming trade fair.

Nintendo Will Be at Gamescom 2025 in Cologne This August

  • Nintendo will attend Gamescom 2025 in Cologne, Germany.
  • The trade fair will be open to attendees from August 20 to 24.
  • Gamescom is the largest European gaming trade show and has grown significantly.
  • Nintendo’s Gamescom appearance will happen two months after the Switch 2’s June 5 launch.

At the moment, Nintendo hasn’t disclosed what they plan to reveal at Gamescom 2025. Since the Switch 2 console is set to hit stores on June 5 and Gamescom takes place in mid-August, Nintendo’s presentation will occur approximately two months later. It’s expected that some of the Switch 2 games like “Mario Kart World” and “Donkey Kong Bananza” will be showcased at the event for attendees to test out.

It’s important to mention that as of now, Nintendo hasn’t set definite release dates for two of its major 2025 first-party games: “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond” and “Pokemon Legends: Z-A”. It’s unclear if we’ll get more details about these titles during Geoff Keighley’s broadcasts like Gamescom Opening Night Live or June’s Summer Game Fest. Only time will tell if they’ll reveal additional information during these events.

As a passionate gamer, I can hardly contain my excitement for this year’s Gamescom! With an impressive 335,000 attendees last year and plans to grow even more globally, it’s clear that this trade fair in Cologne is here to stay. The anticipation builds as we eagerly wait to see what Nintendo has up its sleeve for the Koelnmesse this summer.
