According to a post on consumer site NPack.de, an initial list of publishers and developers set to exhibit their wares at this year’s gamescom event in Cologne, Germany has been revealed, with big hitters Electronic Arts, Nintendo and Ubisoft scheduled to make an appearance.

Warner Bros Interactive, Valve, Konami, 2K Games and Bethesda Softworks are all included in the list, too. Even if this list doesn’t grow any further (it will), we can still expect an amazing gaming event in August this year!

But… y’know… at least another couple hundred or so companies will be added to this list as we tumble towards gamescom 2011’s running date of August 17th to August 21st, so look forward to the likes of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft, Codemasters, Sony Computer Entertainment and many more adding their names to the list.

Here’s the reported line-up for gamescom 2011 so far:

• 2K Games
• Bethesda Softworks
• Bigben Interactive
• DeepSilver
• Electronic Arts
• Frogster
• Hama
• Konami
• Namco Bandai
• NCsoft
• Nintendo
• Razer
• Trion Worlds
• Ubisoft
• Valve Corporation
• Warner Bros. Interactive

Of course, El33tonline was at gamescom 2010, the largest videogame event in the world, to absorb all of the amazing sights and sounds on display, where 254 000 visitors experienced games and technology from over 500 exhibitors from 33 countries.

It was quite a time!
