- Nintendo has confirmed his participation in Gamescom 2025
- The annual game event takes place at the end of August in Germany
- A whole bunch of Nintendo Switch 2 games are likely to be shown
Nintendo has confirmed that it will return to Gamescom this year. The annual event based in Cologne, Germany, is one of the biggest on the game calendar.
And now that Nintendo Switch 2 will be out when Gamescom occurs between August 20 – 24, it’s something of a no -brainer for the company to be present this year.
The news was confirmed by Nintendo’s official German X / Twitter account. Using the site’s built -in translation feature, the post reads: “Mark your calendar in red: Nintendo will be back at Gamescom in 2025. We look forward to welcoming you to Cologne from 20 to 24 to 24.!”
Now, if you were hoping for an overview of what the Nintendo Switch 2 game will be shown at Nintendo’s stand, unfortunately, it has not been confirmed yet. It is likely to be a merger of the usual suspects, especially Metroid Prime 4: Beyond If this game has not been released when Gamescom occurs. Upcoming releases of third parties as Hades 2 and Borderlands 4 Could also make a potential look.
While I’m sure, like Mario Kart World and Donkey King Bananza Will also be able to be played (although these will have launched before August), Gamescom is also a great chance of viewing games prior to their release. It makes me wonder if we can expect another Nintendo Direct presentation sometime between Switch 2’s 5th June launch and Gamescom’s late August dates.
Is the news of Nintendo’s participation at Gamescom this year surprising? No, not really. The company jumped out at last year’s event, presumably because it didn’t have much to show at the time to the aging Nintendo Switch hardware. Now that it has a fresh new console on the block, a return to Europe’s biggest game event should be a given.
