Ankama, the force behind DOFUS, Wakfu and Dofus-Arena have decided to fully support GamesCom 2009 by attending the August 19-23, 2009 convention in Cologne, Germany. And when I say fully support, I mean fully support. There will be giveaways, playable games, Wakfu episodes in English and a special press conference at 6pm on August 19. The company has even set up a webpage to advertise and announce the fact that it will be gladly appearing at the event, and direct attendees to stand B40 in Hall 6, where Ankama will be waiting.

The press conference will probably be of most interest, as it is going to discuss the company’s newest games. For example, DOFUS 2.0 and Islands of Wakfu are on the schedule, as well as an announcement of some new partnerships. Journalists who want to attend this conference have to register though, but it’s worth it! Every person who comes to the conference gets a gift and a free buffet meal. Registered journalists also get exclusive access to Ankama’s VIP area, where they’ll get to test Islands of Wakfu for the Xbox 360 Live Arcade.

That’s not to say that the normal booth features are going to be boring. They’re fantastic as well. The playable demo of DOFUS 2.0 will be on 64 computers for people to test, and everyone who comes to the booth to check it out will be given access to the DOFUS 2.0 beta. Attendees can also see the DOFUS Game Show, watch Wakfu episodes and enter to win free Ankama stuff.

If you decide to attend GamesCom and you’re an Ankama fan, go the extra mile. Dress up as a DOFUS or Wakfu character. The company’s announced that if you do and you come visit them, they’ve give you an additional gift. If you can’t make it, then head to your PC, Mac or Linux computer and play a little DOFUS to console yourself.
