France Becomes the Official Partner Country of Gamescom 2025
France has long been considered one of the brightest centers of the game industry in Europe. 28 million gamers, a turnover of over 2.3 billion dollars, and an impressive list of development companies—all this speaks for itself. Leading French studios and publishers, including Ubisoft, Quantic Dream, Big Ben Interactive, and Dontnod, will present their latest innovations and developments. That means we can count on high-profile announcements and unexpected surprises.
What to Expect from French Game Developers at the Biggest Gaming Event of the Year
French companies have already exhibited at Gamescom many times, but this year they have a special place on the main stage of the event. The Koelnmesse exhibition grounds will bring together representatives of the game industry from 84 countries, and France will take the place of honor in the spotlight.
Gamescom organizers don’t hide their enthusiasm about it. Katharina Ko. Hamma, Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse GmbH, said that France has always been an important part of the exhibition, and the status of a partner country is a logical and bright step in the development of their cooperation.
Moreover, the French delegation will perform under the Le Game brand, which unites the creative power and innovation of the country’s game industry. Visitors to Gamescom can only look forward to August to be the first to find out what France will surprise them with at the main gaming exhibition of the year. It won’t be boring!
