“We were blown away by the reaction to our summer showcase which reached a record 16.6 million live views (and the second biggest multi-format showcase by median wishlist increase). When we aired the first Future Games Show in 2020 our aim was to help players discover something new and we’ve been blown away by the variety of incredible games we have been able to debut, including Immortality, Blue Prince and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn.”
“We can’t wait to share our new show, ‘FGS Best Of’ – an expansion of our new FGS Live From events – which takes viewers onto the gamescom showfloor to experience the very best AAA demos, with exclusive booth tours, trailers and surprises. Don’t forget to save the dates, we’ll see you next month!”
