Nintendo to Return to Gamescom After Four Year Absence - Hardcore Gamer
While E3 struggled to entice big publishers to return to its show floor this year, ultimately leading to its cancellation, the European equivalent has managed to stay on track with their plans for this year’s event, and has added one of the biggest publishers to its list of exhibitors.
For the first time since 2019, Nintendo will be making its return at Gamescom 2023 as one of the expo’s headlining participants. While a good portion of their absence can be chalked up to the pandemic, the Japanese developer remained absent from last year’s Gamescom alongside several other notable publishers. It remains to be seen which games Nintendo will be showcasing in August, as their only two first party titles with release dates, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4, will both be out by then barring any delays, but an upcoming Nintendo Direct may be able to shed some light on the company’s future slate of titles.
We are excited to announce that Nintendo will be exhibiting at #gamescom2023! Many more exhibitors will follow in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/ludCq12pwe
