Gamescom 2018 in Germany & EU Release

ArchivedUser

Hi & Hello everyone,

i wanted to ask, if anybody know if Ashes of Creation will be on Gamescom 2018 in Cologne, Germany?
I think this would be a really good Marketing move.
As much as i know it will be on 21th August - 25th August.

And will the game released Globally at the same time? i mean most MMO's came from Korea, and till they released it in europe we always wait 1-3 years, i hope Ashes will be also released in Germany, would be really sad if not

Best Regards
Sylar

Asian mmos are heavily reliant on p2w monetization as part of the gaming culture currently. They like to sell the publishing rights to different regions to cash in also. That is why you see the staggered releases that you do and region locking. Ashes has promised no region locks and global release.

If you look at the latest livestream from PAX East they do indeed say that they will be coming to Europe in the future, just not where or when.
