Gamescom DEV

When Koelnmesse decided to evolve devcom into gamescom dev, the challenge was clear: bridge eight years of history while stepping confidently into a new identity.
Our task — to create a short announcement trailer that celebrates the past, marks the transition, and reveals the future of gamescom dev — premiered live on stage at gamescom 2025.
A transformation in name, spirit, and motion. One story — now unmistakably part of the gamescom family.
