Over 400 cosplayers are expected to gather and break the
Guinness record for "The Largest Gathering of Games Characters" today at
GamesCom. We were looking forward to telling you if they broke the
MCM London record of 376 characters ... but we forgot one little detail: Um, all those people need to be officially counted and that seems to take a
really long time.
With a couple Guinness representatives on hand, each cosplayer has to write down the name of their character and respective game. Following that, a photo gets taken and then they get to bake in the summer sun -- waiting for everyone else to be counted. We felt really bad for the Tetris pieces!
We'll update when we get the official count.Update:
It failed.
