Gamescom Asia 2024 Cosplay highlights

1/20

The standard of cosplay in Singapore has risen steadily over the years. Here's 2B from the videogame NieR: Automata.

Even before entering the halls of Gamescom Asia 2024, visitors will be greeted (and even awed) by the countless cosplayers roaming around the levels of Suntec City Convention & Exhibition Centre. Check out who else we saw outside of the show hall!

The nurses and Pyramid Head of Silent Hill are creepy as hell. Thank goodness I didn't chance upon them at night.

4/20

Playing Zenless Zone Zero? Then you should know these two characters.

5/20

One of the most common cosplays are of military and special forces. Call of Duty Black Ops?

6/20

The Cosplay Runway Competition was one of the main highlights of Gamescom Asia 2024, which featured some truly astounding coplay entries. Check out some of our close-up videos of the competition here.

It might look simple, but this Black Mage cosplay from Final Fantasy is pretty true to the source material. Including the height!

8/20

Creepy nurse was fiendishly creepy with her moves during her live performance on stage.

9/20

She made a very good cosplay of Navia from Genshin Impact!

10/20

And here's another impressive cosplay of a player from Monster Hunter donning the Kirin Armour set.

11/20

Superheroes were not neglected either. There were a couple of Batmans walking around the show floor, but just one Catwoman. Here's our walkabout of the show floor to get a sense of the mood and experiences we saw.

Here's another look at the Black Mage from Final Fantasy. Those eyes!

13/20

I can't quite put my finger to this cosplay character. Can you name him/her?

14/20

Here's also another very good cosplay of one of my favourite characters from Arcane: League of Legends: Jinx.

The Cosplay Runway Competition was judged by a panel of three judges, including Vera Chimera (pictured), Charess and Singapore-based Angelus.

All cosplayers in the competition were really impressive. I hope to see even more participants at next year's event. Check out the Cosplay Runway competition highlights and the winners on our TikTok channel!

Of course, even the non-competitive cosplayers had fun at Gamescom Asia 2024 too!

19/20

And there were a lot of good cosplayers that weren't even in the Cosplay Runway competition.

20/20

Like this cosplayer of 2B from NieR: Automata (again), who is possibly one of the best I've seen. Here's hoping to seeing more and even better cosplays at the next Gamescom Asia.
