We went to DreamHack Hannover and can confidently say that big gaming events in Germany are back and better than ever.<\/p>\n
Please allow me to be self-indulgent with this one on a matter that’s close to my heart. As someone who came up in the various gaming and nerd-culture scenes in and around Hannover, Germany it made me very happy to see those scenes alive and thriving under the banner of an official DreamHack event.<\/p>\n
If you think of gaming events in Germany, the one that’ll always come to mind is Gamescom. Here is where you’ll find the latest announcements in games and the event was always the middle child between the now defunct E3 which is now the Summer Games Fest I guess (thank you, Geoff), and Tokyo Gameshow which focuses more on the eastern market.<\/p>\n
But what about the gaming events outside of that? Germany is still a titan in esports but there is a lack of open tournaments and grassroots events that could give smaller players and teams a stage to show what they’re really about.<\/p>\n
What better place than Hannover to reignite those passions once again? After all Hannover’s now defunct CEBIT, formally the largest computer expo in the world, was once a prime destination for competitors from around the world to show off their games and talent. Enter DreamHack Hannover 2023.<\/p>\n
