Do you miss video game shows? Due to the Covid health crisis, many editions of these shows had to be cancelled in the past years, leaving gamers hungry for possible announcements, exclusivities and other game tests to come. This is also a loss for publishers who take advantage of these events to survey their audience and capitalize on their company's upcoming gaming releases.
But good news! This year, these fairs are back again, in physical version, for the greatest happiness of gamers. And in order to have a clearer idea of the different 2023 editions and how they will be held, the editorial staff offers you the calendar of the most important trade shows in France and in the world. A good reference point to organize your visit, or to get ready to follow the different panels online.
Usually held at the Anaheim Convention Center, BlizzCon was to return in 2023 after a two-year absence. No information has been released regarding its hosting at this time.
The world's largest video game trade show, which is usually held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, will unfortunately not be returning this year. A show that had to reorganize its program dedicating a part to professionals and another to gamers, so that everyone can be there.
To end the summer of 2023 in style, the organizers of Gamescom, which takes place every year at this time in Cologne, Germany, have announced that the famous show will once again be held 100% in person. Conferences and presentations of numerous games should punctuate this edition, which has not, for the moment, announced the studios present nor the games presented for the occasion. But the appointment is taken!
Tokyo, one of the video game capitals, also has its own show! And this year, the Tokyo Game Show will once again be held in person with enhanced content. As for the program of this new edition, we will have to wait a little longer.
The Parisian show is back this year for a new edition and promises to be unforgettable! On the program, many booths always faithful to the post, as the one of PlayStation, the BNF and other meetings mixing culture and video games. There will also be many new products that gamers should be able to test in preview.
