As the year begins to get underway, we're slowly hearing more and more announcements. Earlier today, we found out Evo online would be taking place this August, and now, Gamescom has provided new information about its own plans for 2021.
When it returns on August 24, it will be delivered in a new hybrid show format - featuring physical and digital elements. The physical part of the show will include an on-site section where a reduced amount of visitors can test out new games live, while the rest can tune in online.
"We will hereby be placing a focus on the superfans and the on-site testing of the latest games this year. At the same time, gamescom 2021 will once again reach millions of people worldwide as a result of the further developed digital offers."
The one and only Geoff Keighley will also be returning to host the event and promises "surprises" and much more. Will you be watching this year's Gamescom live show to see what announcements there'll be? Tell us down in the comments.

August is so far way tho.
Well I guess that's something to look forward too, not much going on in the gaming world right now.
All the events have blurred into one stretched out string of announcements for me....
With all publishers going rogue now too, such as Square Enix yesterday.
I long for the days where we had three to four events per year. And that was it.
Sonic game announcements, please?
In before Switch Pro/BotW2/MP4/Bayo 3 expectations.
Currently there seems to be more online events, digital presentations, directs, channel takeovers, games websites, YouTube channels, critics, reviewers, commentators, analysts, let’s players, and industry insiders, than actual minutes of games to play.
I’m streamlining to Nintendo, Nintendolife, and A bit of the Escapist from now on and deleting all the other stuff.
Not interested in this the slightest. Nintendo barely has a presence at Gamescom in terms of game reveals. The most I am expecting is an Indie World Showcase.
