After the renowned Games Convention Leipzig said its goodbyes years ago, the gaming industry is finally returning to the Saxon metropolis. With the launch of the "CAGGTUS" trade show, Leipzig has created a new focal point for gaming enthusiasts and developers, putting the region back on the gaming map. The event promises to fill the void left by the departure of the Games Convention and put the Saxon gaming scene back in the spotlight.
