August 25th 2026 | Herbrand’s | Cologne
Mingle and get inspired by 50+ developers, showcasing their latest project. Stroll around with a drink in hand, and a night full of games, chats, and good vibes.
There is one rule: Play a game and get a drink
Courage Cologne keeps things casual: think simple set ups, soft music, and lots of cool demos (no loud music, expensive expo booths or complicated badge scanners)
Expect a friendly crowd, an indie atmosphere, and the perfect excuse to mingle before diving back into Gamescom.
