E3 2016 might just be over, but in little over a month it will be time for Gamescom 2016. The exhibitor list and hall plans were finally published today on the official website, telling us which companies will be showcasing their products at Gamescom 2016.

　　There was only one big question mark: Sony. The company chose to skip Gamescom last year to be at Paris Games Week (due in late October/early November), but this year it seemed like it could go back to the usual schedule with Gamescom. However, Sony is not listed among those companies, heavily hinting that they chose PGW over the convention based in Cologne once again.

　　Here's a list of the most important gaming companies confirmed to be there:
