Gamescom 2016 Roundup
The German city of Cologne recently hosted the largest game show in Europe — Gamescom 2016. Several hundred thousand people attended the show to see the latest innovations in the world of computer games. Two new projects were waiting for them at the Gaijin Entertainment stand. Thousands of players were able to try their hand as mechanics and fighters in tournaments and the latest game modes of the online post-apocalyptic action game: Crossout. Superheated team fights and battles for survival attracted a huge crowd of fans to the stage. Gamescom visitors could also be among the first to see the premier — naval battles in War Thunder.

A real, custom built armoured car, created by our team of friends Morlock Motors aka Steel Buddies, and armed wasteland warriors helped the visitors experience the atmosphere of the game.Spectators were in for a great show with prizes and gifts. Every 30 minutes, raffles with a wide variety of prizes took place on stage — souvenirs and access codes to CBT of Crossout and the War Thunder fleet, to first-class gaming peripherals from Roccat, as well as graphics cards and computers from ZOTAC.

Everyone could follow the events on the stage live on Crossout channels on Twitch. Streams were live from the first to the very last day. During streams we showed all the new features added to the Crossout universe over the past year. Spectators selected the best vehicles from the exhibition live, and visitors of the stand were using them in battles. Winners received valuable prizes directly at the stand. You can see the battles in recorded Twitch streams.
Well, Gamescom 2016 is over, but we still have a lot of interesting things ahead. Crossout closed beta is ongoing. The game will also be available in ‘Early access’ on Steam. You will see new maps, new game modes, new items, and other features.
