Video game fairs are the best way to find out about upcoming game releases through available demos and other panels of all kinds.

Missing video game fairs? Due to the health crisis caused by Covid, many editions of these fairs have had to be canceled in recent years, leaving gamers hungry for possible announcements, exclusives, and other gaming tests. The downside is also for publishers who use these events to poll their audience and capitalize on their company’s next game releases.

And to get a better idea of the various exhibitions in 2023 and their dates, the editors offer you a calendar of the most important exhibitions in the industry, in France and around the world.
