Gamescom 2021 is just around the corner and it’ll be going completely digital this time around. Though the event was looking to be a hybrid with some on-site events alongside online ones, the German Games Industry Association decided to keep it remote.

Officially kicking off on Aug. 25, Gamescom 2021 will be live for a total of three days, wrapping up on Aug. 27. Fans can enjoy the show from the comfort of their home since it’ll be free and there will be many attractions to tune into throughout the event. From Bethesda to Activision, the industry’s leading developers will be looking forward to showcasing what they’ve been cooking alongside all the newest developments that their fans may be looking forward to.

Gamescom isn’t only about AAA games, however. Indie titles will also have their time under the spotlight during The Awesome Indies Showcase. Not many fans will have time to tune in for the whole event, though. If that’s the case, knowing the schedule can help you navigate your day so you can get back just in time for the part you’ve been waiting to see.

Here’s the full schedule for Gamescom 2021.
