Gamescom 2026 preview: who’s making a splash
PocketGamer.biz reports from outside Koelnmesse ahead of Gamescom 2026, noting a sold-out expo floor and visible marketing activity around the venue. Supercell is building a large presence at Gamescom Dev, while multiple publishers (including Astragon, Krafton, 4A Games, Funcom, Netease, Capcom, CD Projekt Red and others) have posters and billboards near the North and East entrances. Games commerce company Xsolla has set up a visible presence at Design Post Köln and run ads in nearby hotels. A prominent banner space between the North and East entrances remained unfilled days before the consumer expo opened; Bloober Team occupied that space in 2025.

ACOTAR Franchise Drives Brand Collaborations Across Retail
The ACOTAR book franchise, authored by Sarah J. Maas, has become the latest IP opportunity for brands, following the success of 'Barbie' and 'Wicked' collaborations. With over 75 million copies sold since 2015, the series has fueled the 'romantasy' genre. Major retailers and brands have launched themed products: Target rolled out merchandise on Oct. 11, including BrüMate tumblers and Alex and Ani jewelry, plus midnight release events. Fine’ry launched ACOTAR-inspired fragrances at Target, expanding to 7,000 stores across seven retailers. Knix debuted an intimates collection co-designed with fans, while Funko Pop and Loungefly released collectibles. These collaborations highlight the marketing value of literary IP, offering intimate and loyal fandoms compared to film or TV. Experts note that brands must authentically engage with fan communities to succeed.
