It’s not easy to find good news in the game industry these days. But on my trip to see the Gamescom Latam event in Sao Paolo, Brazil, it was plentiful.
At the expected record-setting game expo this week — the first supported by Germany’s Gamescom event in South America, organizers estimated more than 100,000 game fans would show for the Gamescom Latam event that is now combined with the traditional BIG Festival.
I witnessed a lot of the optimism firsthand at the show, where lots of exhibitors showed off games in a cavernous expo hall. Lots of young people were lined up to play global games like Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree to smaller local titles like Gixer’s Changer Seven.
