Huge Games Show Fills a City in Germany
Imagine a huge hall full of new video games.
That is Gamescom, in the city of Cologne in Germany.
Last year more than 350,000 people came along.
Big companies showed games there. So did tiny studios with one or two makers.
A new Fable game will arrive in 2027. It mixes Britishness and fairy tales.
Players also raced to finish games as fast as possible.
This event has raised 62 million dollars for charity in 16 years.
