Games Are Perfect Entertainment, For 3 Generations and Blockbusters To Go

Koelnmesse and game have presented the main theme and two trends for this year's gamescom. The organisers have chosen ‘Games – Perfect Entertainment’ as their theme. And they have identified two trends: games are played by all age groups, and mobile games have long since achieved triple-A quality.

Both the main theme and the trends identified by the game association and Koelnmesse in the run-up to gamescom are not comprehensive analyses, but rather highlights that are also aimed at the press and the general public, for whom games are not part of everyday life. The organisations highlight exciting developments that may not be so obvious. This year, however, the main theme, ‘Games – Perfect Entertainment’, places greater emphasis on the entertainment value of games than in previous years.
