gamescom, the world’s largest computer and video game event, is also taking things to the “next level”. With a total area of 193,000 gross square metres, it will occupy almost 18 per cent more space, which can be enjoyed by both private and trade visitors. On top of this, it will boast an unprecedented collective stand for independent developers, the Indie Arena Booth.

Here is what Blizzard said on their website:

Join us Thursday, August 6 at 9 a.m. PDT for a special World of Warcraft event streamed live from gamescom 2015 in Cologne, Germany—where we’ll be unveiling the next chapter of the World of Warcraft saga….

Tune in again Sunday, August 9 at 8:00 a.m. PDT for a World of Warcraft developer chat before the show ends, and find out more about what’s in store.
