Around 30 games will be available to play at the fourth Polaris Convention in Hamburg. Bandai Namco and Envision Entertainment have confirmed their participation, as has Charles Cecil.

The Polaris Convention is being held for the fourth time, from 10 to 12 October, at the Hamburg Messe. According to the organisers, Super Crowd, around 30 games will be available to play in the 'sandbox' area of the community event, including several titles that were able to make it to Hamburg thanks to the EU's Creative Europe Initiative. These include Survival Climber Cairn (The Game Bakers); Midgardr, a medieval mix of card and building games (Holy Radish); and Escape Simulator 2 (Pine Studio). Also present will be Pioneers of Pagonia from Envision Entertainment, the spiritual successor to the Settlers series.

There will also be a stage panel in the video games area with Charles Cecil from Revolution, who is known for point-and-click adventures such as Broken Sword (Baphomets Fluch) and Beneath a Steel Sky. Bandai Namco will be showcasing Little Nightmares 3 to coincide with its release on 10 October 2025. Bethesda is offering a Fallout-themed photo opportunity to celebrate the upcoming second season of the Amazon Prime series.

Trymacs, one of Germany's most successful streamers, will be available for meet-and-greets with fans on Sunday for the first time.
