World's Largest Gaming Expo Opens in Cologne

The largest video game exhibition in the world was inaugurated in the German city of Cologne, featuring over 1,700 participating companies—a record compared to last year, which had 1,568 exhibitors. It is expected to welcome more than 350,000 visitors, with strong attendance from Asian companies. The event began yesterday, Thursday, for trade visitors and special ticket holders, while it is anticipated to open to the general public today, which may lead to increased crowds. Politicians attended the exhibition, including the German Vice Chancellor, the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, and the European Commission Vice President, amid discussions about the evolution and transformation of the video game industry. Despite challenges such as studio closures and chip shortages, developers continue to create new games.
