Gamescom returns this August, and its organisers have revealed which major games publishers and developers will be participating at next month's event.

Gamescom is being held as a digital event this year, running from August 25th to the 27th. Big-named publishers and developers such as Xbox, Bethesda, EA, and Ubisoft have all confirmed their attendance, but much like E3, it seems Sony is skipping next month's event. Gamescom's organiser says these companies will also be joined by "80 curated top indie titles," which will be showcased at large. Here is the full list of confirmed attendees from Gamescom:
