Konami Digital Entertainment has announced details of the various activities that will be available at the company’s dedicated Yu-Gi-Oh! booth at Gamescom this year (August 21st – 25th) in Cologne, Germany.
Held in hall 5.2/E039, the Yu-Gi-Oh! booth will cater to all types of duelists (players) across both the official Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, the massively popular free-to-play mobile and PC game. For those new to either title, demonstrators will be on hand to offer introductions and opportunities to win special prizes.
For experienced duelists, KONAMI is encouraging people to bring their decks and compete with other attendees in their event tournament or Free2Play zone. If players are particularly confident and wish to put their skills to the test, #DueltheMaster will be a chance for them to challenge a Yu-Gi-Oh! champion from Wednesday 22nd to Saturday 25th.
In addition to TCG tournaments, KONAMI’s booth will also be hosting Duel Links tournaments for players with the latest version of the game.
