The first round of companies participating in this year's Gamescom event has been unveiled.
Among the 19 names are Xbox, Activision and EA, alongside the likes of Bethesda, Bandai Namco, Koch Media, Sega, Team17 and Ubisoft.
The aforementioned companies will also be joined by 80 additional indie titles, due to be showcased at the Indie Arena Booth Online throughout the event.
This year's Gamescom takes place between August 25th and 27th, and will be completely virtual once more due to the ongoing pandemic.
