The Gamescom Awards 2025 could be really exciting this year – not only because of the usual categories such as the best game or best soundtrack, but also because of some new awards that could be particularly interesting for fans.
A real highlight should be the new one “Best Merch”-Award be. Loud gamescom Will this category 2025 for the first time introduced. And what does that mean for us? Quite simply: if a Publisher or developer wants to win this award, he has to stand at the stand particularly cool free merch Raushauen – and yes, it is explicitly emphasized: free.
So one can hope that the different ones Exhibitor overbid each otherto shine with their goodies. After all, such an award not only brings fame and honor, but also properly Marketing-Power outward. Who doesn’t love it when a publisher gives away horny T-shirts or bags?
That reminds me personally of that “Good old days”in which you came home with mountains of goodies from the fair. My Fallout 3-Shirt For example, I’m still celebrating today – and that New Vegas-Shirt Unfortunately, there is no fault in the closet … was just too big. In the past few years it has been rather mau with a really good merch. Maybe that will finally change again?
More new Award categories 2025:
Best Booth
Here the stand counts: size, design, wow effect. There will be a jury and a community award. Standbauer and designer, get dressed warmly!
Best game – platform: Switch 2
Sounds logical: After the release of the Switch 2, titles on the new console can now also compete in a separate platform category.
Best Line-Up
This is about the overall package of an exhibitor. Let’s hope that even smaller studios have a chance-not just the mega publishers like EA. Because more is not automatically better, right?
Best Business Booth
Focus on the stands in the business area-the ones that are intended for trade visitors. Interesting: These stands must also be accessible to the general audience, which looks a bit contradictory.
A little catch remains:
If you want to apply for one of these new awards, you have to Pay. This is a decent hurdle, especially for small studios, indie teams or solo developers. After all, there should be discounts. If you like dry texts, take a look at all the details here: All conditions
Now you are on: What do you think of the new categories?
