Gamescom 2020 was canceled in April, but organizers said they would "definitely" host a digital event instead. Today, Gamescom organizers revealed details of that replacement event.

The English-language event, produced by IGN, will kick off with an opening night live show on August 27; on August 28 and 29, the "Daily Show" will be hosted by Michael Swain, with highlights of the day, esports, cosplay, and other topics will be covered, and on the 29th, "Awesome Indies" will "spotlight the most original and exciting games coming out of the indie developer scene."

The whole thing will conclude with a "Best of Show" event on August 30, which will recap the showcase's big moments and include the Gamescom Awards and a cosplay contest. [The show will be produced by several studios in the U.S. and Germany and will be available on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, and Facebook; Gamescom Daily Shows will also be broadcast in German (the live event is usually held in Cologne) and Webedia Germany will produced by Webedia Germany.
