Here's What We Know
Last year, the company missed the event. As a representative of Nintendo of Europe explained at the time, after careful analysis, the company decided not to participate in the event in Cologne, instead offering players to test games at other events across Germany.
This year's return to the show is likely to be linked to the release of the new Switch 2 console, which is scheduled to launch on 5 June. During Gamescom, the company is expected to present gaming innovations and possibly allow visitors to test the Switch 2.
