Introduction
Germany is one of Europe's largest games markets and the host of Gamescom in Cologne, one of the biggest games events in the world. Its players have a long-standing affection for strategy and simulation games, a taste reflected in what its studios make.
The Anno series, developed in Mainz, is perhaps the clearest example: calm, detailed city-building with economic depth. Germany's studios have also produced influential work in technology, shooters and simulation.
Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt and Cologne are among the cities with notable concentrations of games companies.
