疫情當下,德國政府今(16)日宣布大型活動包括足球賽禁止在 8 月 31 日前舉行,這也衝擊到了原訂在 8 月舉行的 Gamescom。 ❗ Even though not all details are known at present, the nationwide ban on major events until the end of August will also affect the planning for #gamescom2020. Furthermore: gamescom 2020 will definitely take place digitally! We will provide further information shortly. ❗— gamescom (@gamescom) April 15, 2020 Gamescom主辦單位 Koelnmesse 稍早發出聲名,表示政府政策已經影響到本屆展出的規劃,因此打算以線上方式舉行今年的 Gamescom。 由於武漢肺炎疫情,今年從年初的台北電玩展、GDC、E3、Gamescom 紛紛停辦,下一個指標將會是 9 月舉行的東京電玩展。
