Honestly, it was bound to happen. Around a month ago I wrote about how Gamescom and Koelnmesse were still planning to go ahead despite current fears over the coronavirus pandemic. Following the cancellation of GDC, E3 and EGX Rezzed, it was always going to be a challenge to get Gamescom up and running, even with it being scheduled for the end of August. As of today, we can class Gamescom as cancelled, or at least forced to reschedule which will likely be a challenge.

In a tweet posted by GamesWirtschaft, it has been revealed that the German government has extended its ban on all mass gatherings until August 31st, at the earliest. This is guaranteed to have an impact on Gamescom.
