We start in November, we look at options of what the booth looks like,
we look how big we want to go,
and this year we are going bigger than we have ever gone before.
It takes months and months of hard work
and all of the departments are involved in their own way,
and community is mostly dealing with activities
and what we actually do there and how we communicate with the players
and what we can offer the players.
The Art Department is very busy this time of the year,
and of course, all of the departments are involved.
It’s always very amazing, because we walk in and we see
all that we have seen in 3D models and 3D sketches.
And just a simple queue orientation or how the gaming stations are built
and seeing that in reality is, yeah,
it's almost breathtaking, because it's real. It makes it real.
Our job is to be on the stage
and present everything that’s new and that's upcoming in our titles.
So for us it’s really great opportunity to get a lot of people in the same room
and show them what we've been working on over the last couple of months.
For us in Europe it’s an event where everyone participates,
so you will find at the booth people that work here,
you’re not just going to find someone that we hired,
you are going to find people that work here in the office,
that talk to our players everyday online.
So it's gonna be very exciting to give them the opportunity to talk in real life.
There’s going to be thousands of other World of Tanks players
that you can network with, and you can find new friends
that you can form clans with.
Well, obviously we are going to have a pretty good show this year,
so that’s pretty awesome. I cannot talk too much about it yet,
but we’ll have some teasers, I guess, going out very soon.
There’s lots of reasons to come, but for me, I would say
it’s actually meeting other players of the game
and meeting us and having conversation with us.
You see people that are sharing the same passion like you,
so you are one of many that actually are having the same joy
and the same fun with the product.
So I would recommend any player out there to at least go once to the Gamescom,
get the experience around it and just see it live.
So when you get there and you are able to see the players and talk to them,
the ones that you talk to on a daily basis on the forum, this is outstanding.
To have the possibility to meet them, shake their hand,
hear feedback about the game directly, this is unmatched.
Gamescom is, without the shadow of a doubt,
the high point of the year when it comes to Wargaming.
It’s showcasing new features, both in my game and others.
Seeing the reaction of the people live,
there’s this manic energy around everyone which...
you have to be there to see it. To feel it.
To believe it!
Our job becomes way more than one job.
We have to think about many aspects of that experience
and how we can improve it for our players.
And I think that's quite special, it's quite special to be part of that.
Essence of Gamescom...
I could say crowded halls and, well, they have good bratwurst there on the outside…
But I guess it’s the games, in the end!
I mean, every year we’re seeing amazing games, amazing booths, amazing shows.
So Gamescom is always such a great event,
I mean, there’s nothing that compares to it in the gaming space.
Let's Battle!
