After all the huge game announcements made during the Xbox Games Showcase around two weeks ago, Xbox has made yet another announcement to show that they aren’t playing around in the latter half of this year. Actually, maybe they are.
Announced on their social media pages, Xbox has claimed they will return to Gamescom this year with their “biggest booth yet”.
The Xbox team is heading BACK to @gamescom

With Nintendo announcing back in April that they wouldn’t be participating and PlayStation doing the same during a chat with Eurogamer earlier this week, Xbox will be the only console company from the big three in attendance.
With already announced games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Age of Mythology Retold all set to launch before the end of the year, there’s a good chance that these and other unreleased Xbox games will be playable at Gamescom.
That’s pretty exciting for Xbox fans, and it could possibly steal a few fans from the other brands, too.
What is most exciting, though, is that some of the big companies, like Xbox, are finally taking chances on expos, and hopefully, we should see the rise in expos locally once more.
