It hits Bangkok in October.

Gamescom made its Asian debut in Singapore last year, but in 2025 it's heading further east to Thailand, in a collaboration with the Thailand Game Show. Running October 16-19 in Bangkok, and with distinct business and consumer areas, the show will feature heavy-hitters like Bandai Namco, Capcom, Ubisoft, Xbox and Razer, as well as a keynote by Dead Space creator Glen Schofield.

Schofield, who left Striking Distance Studios in 2023 after the release of Callisto Protocol, will present a talk that will "delve into 10 ways he finds inspiration and comes up with [ideas]". It should be an interesting chat: Schofield has some of the biggest games in the world on his CV, but last week revealed he couldn't raise funding for an unnamed project, adding that "maybe I've directed my last game".

The public component—for which tickets won't go on sale until September 1—will also feature live tournaments, meet-and-greets with developers and voice actors, the Thailand Game Award proceedings, a lucrative cosplay competition, and "nonstop content and fan-favourite segments over all three days, with live performances, gaming challenges and surprise appearances", per the official spiel. There will also be a big indie area.
