ICYMI: Highlights from Gamescom 2026

Gamescom 2026 has officially wrapped, and what a week it was!

From August 26–30, No Loading Games joined thousands of players, creators, and gaming fans in Cologne for one of Europe's biggest gaming events. 

From PAC-MAN: Craze Maze to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners – Hunted, here's a look back at some of our favorite moments from Gamescom 2026 — and what's coming next!

Waka-Waka-Welcome, PAC-MAN!

PAC-MAN: Craze Maze was one of the big highlights of our booth!

Visitors had the chance to sit down and play the game, discover how the iconic arcade classic translates to the tabletop, and get a first-hand look at the colorful maze-building gameplay.

The game was also available to purchase at Gamescom, making it the perfect opportunity for PAC-MAN fans to take the game home. And for an extra-special touch, co-author Yannick Beaulé was at the show to meet fans and sign copies!

With its release just around the corner, PAC-MAN: Craze Maze is getting closer and closer to reaching players everywhere — just in time for the holiday season!

Rediscovering Gwent

Gamescom was also a great opportunity to reconnect with the Gwent community.

Fans stopped by our booth to play a round, discover the game, and take a closer look at everything Gwent: The Legendary Card Game has to offer.

And, as always, a round of GWENT is always a good idea.

One of the highlights for many visitors was getting their hands on a special Roach foil card. Seeing so many Gwent players — from longtime fans to people discovering the game for the first time — come together at our booth made the event especially memorable.

Welcome to Night City

Gamescom also gave players an early look at Cyberpunk: Edgerunners – Hunted.

Visitors could step into Night City and experience a demo of our upcoming cooperative board game inspired by the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime.

The game wasn't available for purchase yet, but the demo gave players the chance to discover the gameplay, experience the atmosphere of Night City, and get a taste of what's waiting for them when the game officially launches.

We were also thrilled to see Cyberpunk fans visiting the booth in costume throughout the show. From cosplayers to players discovering the game for the first time, the Cyberpunk universe was definitely alive at Gamescom.

With the release coming later this year, Gamescom was just another step toward bringing Cyberpunk: Edgerunners – Hunted to players around the world.
