An evening that showed just how strong our region is
What an evening in Berlin. The German Computer Games Award 2025 was not just a stage for the games industry, but a place full of encounters. Old acquaintances, new faces and conversations about what unites us all – a passion for digital games.
And right in the middle of it all: Games Syndicate Cologne e.V. Cologne had a visible, audible and tangible presence. Two of our members were nominated, and we are particularly pleased about Slow Bros. GmbH, which was deservedly honored with Harold Halibut after more than ten years of development.
“Onat Hekimoglu and the entire team are an inspiration for our region. We are proud to have these people in our ranks. One thing is clear: Cologne can do DCP.” – Christoph Kohlhaas, Managing Director GSC.
This evening has shown how strong Cologne is. How big our community has become. And that the German Computer Game Award is more than just an award – it is a sign that we are at the forefront.
