Bologna, Aug. 23rd, 2023 – After the exciting experience at the Game Developers Conference, the most important event dedicated to videogames that took place in March in San Francisco, and the successful participation at First Playable in July in Florence, Bologna Game Farm teams are ready for Gamescom 2023, the most important event of the year at the European level dedicated to videogames, which this year takes place from Aug. 23 to 27.
