Bethesda at gamescom 2021

Gamescom, the world's biggest gaming convention, is at the starting gate.

The situation this year has remained unchanged, which is why gamescom is digital for the second year running – beginning with the Opening Night Live by Geoff Keighley on August 25 and followed by four days packed with streams in both German and English.
