Cologne Industry Stop — August 26–30, 2026
gamescom 2026 in Cologne is Elementa's major European games-industry showcase for Silver Palace, scheduled August 26–30, 2026—immediately after Anime NYC (August 20–23). By then the Dichotomy Beta PC window (July 23–August 13) will have closed with a full data wipe; convention demos remain the primary public hands-on path.
What to Expect
Expect the established curated floor experience refined across AX, Japan Expo, BW2026, and Firefly:
- Playable demo: Prologue Vita et Mors, city traversal, and partner combat featuring Detective, Rex, Red Rose, and Cinderella.
- Press & creator coverage: gamescom typically draws large European media pools—watch for new impressions after the beta concludes.
- Merchandise: Tour-exclusive items historically limited to venue stock.
Exact hall/booth numbers will be published closer to the show on Elementa channels. This page updates when floor placement is confirmed.
Beta vs gamescom
Dichotomy Beta registration closed July 16; the live PC test ends August 13. gamescom demos do not restore wiped beta saves—they are short guided experiences. Pre-register via our pre-register guide for launch notifications (4M+ global signups).
Tour finale after Cologne: gamescom Asia in Bangkok (October 29–November 1). Full schedule: world tour 2026.
