Although other vendors are canceling events and pushing exhibits to a later time, it looks like two events this year are still on. That’s right, despite coronavirus concerns, E3 2020 is still scheduled for this June. And after that, Gamescom 2020 will kick-off this August. With that said, the first exhibitors for Gamescom have signed and consist of CD Projekt Red, Bethesda, and Sega.
Not too long ago, Gamescom tweeted out a list of exhibitors that signed to appear at this year’s event. The list of first exhibitors is over 20 companies and features familiar names in this industry.
You can check out the tweet right here:

If you can’t see the above tweet and the list of names, you can see the 29 first exhibitors right here:
- Astragon
- Bandai Namco
- Bethesda Softworks
- Capcom
- CD Projekt Red
- Electronic Arts
- ESL Gaming
- Kalypso Media
- Koch Media
- MediaMarkt
- Microsoft / Xbox
- My.com
- NCSoft
- Nintendo
- Sega
- THQ Nordic
- Twitch
- Ubisoft
- Wargaming
- Alternate
- Aorus (Gigabyte)
- BenQ
- Caseking
- Corsair
- Kingston Technology
- Medion
- Omen
- Samsung
- Trust
I should note that the above list will grow over time, meaning that companies that seem like they aren’t attending may do so but at a later time and date.
In other words, expect sometime between April and July to see the list of exhibitors pad out and become bigger. However, you can see every company, exhibitor, vendor, and more by heading on over to gamescom.global.
Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that although Geoff Keighley will not attend this year’s E3, he will still host Gamescom 2020’s Opening Night Live show.
Finally, the actual show is slated to go live in Cologne, Germany, on August 25th, 2020. The Opening Night Live event, like last year, will start before the actual event goes live.
