TheGamer Attends MIGS 2024
Our team at TheGamer set off to Montreal in October to attend the Montreal International Game Summit. Our team covered the conference with news stories and exclusive interviews with game developers from all over the world.
TheGamer Attends Gamescom 2024
In August 2024, we sent various members from our editorial team to Cologne, Germany, to cover the year's biggest event in gaming, Gamescom! During our time at the event we conducted interviews, captured video of the event, and shared the year's biggest game announcements to more than three million social media followers.
Toyko Games Show
We headed out to Asia's biggest games show to try our hand at the then-upcoming Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Dragon's Dogma 2, and even partnered with the show as a sponsor of its VR event that let guests from around the world experience the rush of being there in person.
BAFTA Awards
TheGamer has a strong presence in the UK, with editors regularly appearing on BBC television and radio as expert commentators, and were invited to the UK's most prestige gaming award show to chat with nominees on the red carpet.
Summer Game Fest
No cruel summers for us as we spent sunny season trying out some of 2023's most anticipated games at Geoff Keighley's E3 replacement, picking Cocoon as a game to watch (we were right).
Gamescom
TheGamer always takes a strong presence to Europe's busiest and most popular gaming showcase, getting a world-first hands-on impression with Super Mario Bros. Wonder in 2023 while maintaining constant video coverage on the show floor as Gamescom regulars.
