Guide to Essen SPIEL 2022!

Essen Spiel is going to have a HUGE Hachette presence this year, with three different ares in Hall 3! These spaces will encompass 7 of our studios, who are showing off the latest and greatest releases!

Okay, now we're ready to dive into this guide! Buckle up, because there's a lot of fun stuff ahead. We'll show you where to find these games at the show, share any special scheduled events, and when to expect them to be available in the states.
