Experience Gamescom In Peace: We Are Giving Away Wild Cards For The Trade Visitor Day On Wednesday! [Update]

Gamescom is the world's largest trade fair for consumer electronics. The fair takes place every summer in Cologne. In the first place, everything revolves around your favorite hobby: video games. At the numerous stands you not only try out the latest games, you can also buy all kinds of merchandise, marvel at great cosplays, relax on the beanbags in the Family & Friends area or work out with a laser day.

While gamescom visitors have to stand in their stomachs from Thursday to Sunday to be able to briefly play their favorite titles, the fair on Wednesday is far less frequented. After all, only trade visitors are allowed to use the pad, everyone else must (still) stay outside. The rush is correspondingly low and the long waiting times are eliminated. With the wildcards you can play the most coveted titles at gamescom almost without queuing, and you don't have to fight your way through the crowds, but stroll comfortably over the almost empty exhibition center.

If you are at the fair on Wednesday, have a look at GIGA and Spieletipps in Hall 10.1 at Stand C-021 / D-020.
