Sega Skips gamescom

By james_fudge

If you were headed to Cologne, Germany to see Sega at gamescom this year, then you'll be sad to hear that the company has decided not to attend Europe's biggest trade show. Sega said in a brief statement today that the decision to skip this year's show was purely financial. Today's announcement confirms rumors that surfaced last night about the company not attending.

'gamescom 2009 was a very successful show for us and continues to be the most important European event in the calendar. The decision not to show at this year's event was not down to the location of Cologne and will not mean that Sega will never attend gamescom in the future, but simply a commercial decision made for 2010.'

Sega would have shown games like Sonic 4, Valkyria Chronicles II, Vanquish, Shogun 2: Total War and more. Maybe next year Europe. gamescom takes place between August 18-22.
