This year's Gamescom joins the list of gaming events and conventions cancelled due to the coronavirus.
Yesterday the German government issued a new ban on large public gatherings that is active until August 31st. That ended up affecting Gamescom since this year's convention was planned to take place from August 25-29.
Even though a physical convention can't be held, Gamescom officials are currently working on plans to hold this year's event as a digital one if possible.
