FRANKFURT, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- Germany's annual video game trade fair Gamescom opened Thursday in a purely virtual format, as the global gaming industry strives to stay connected with its audience despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Instead of taking place at the exhibition center in the German city of Cologne, this year's Gamescom presents its digital content via an online hub called Gamescom Now, as well as through various streaming platforms. Viewers can have access to game releases, game shows, developer interviews and other various online activities.
