Gamescom 2022 Booths

Booths are important at Gamescom because they give companies and developers a chance to show off their new products and upcoming titles.

They also provide a place for gamers to meet up, buy unique game collectables/merch and socialize. Gamescom is one of the biggest gaming conventions in the world, so it’s no surprise that booths play a significant role in the event.

Some of the most popular booths at gamescom are the ones for upcoming AAA titles. These are usually packed with people eager to get their hands on the latest demos and trailers. Other popular booths include those for independent developers and small studios. These usually have a more relaxed atmosphere, and they’re a great place to discover new games.

Callisto Protocol

The upcoming survival horror game developed by Striking Distance Studios is on our radar!

New Tales from Borderland

It’s not a typical booth, but a whole New Tales from Borderland-themed bistro cafe! The booth concept perfectly depicts that the game points to humour and wit. That is what makes it admirable among fans.
