gamescom latam, the largest games festival in Latin America, has announced the finalists for its main prize, the gamescom latam BIG Festival, which honors the top titles in the world of games. After reviewing 922 entries from 74 countries, the distinguished jury selected 114 games, more than half of which are from foreign studios. The festival, which takes place at the São Paulo Expo from June 26 to 30, gives participants the rare chance to try out every finalist game.
There are 17 categories for the festival’s awards, and on June 28 and June 30, there will be ceremonies on Friday and Sunday. The Best Game by Popular Vote is a popular vote that participants can take part in, however a specialized jury usually decides the winner.
Gustavo Steinberg, praising the collaboration with gamescom and the event’s increased influence globally, said, “Seeing over 900 entrants from more than 70 different countries is a testament to the gamescom latam Big Festival significance in the gaming industry.”
