As I write this, I'm recovering mind, body, and soul from the all-encompassing, all-sensory euphoria that is Gamescom.
Last year's Gamescom was a muted affair. The first since the height of the pandemic, many publishers opted either for smaller events or absence entirely. Microsoft had a small presence, perhaps the smallest presence I've seen from the publisher in my eight years of hitting up Gamescom. Other publishers, such as Sony and Nintendo, didn't appear at all. A lot can change in a year, though.
