This year’s all-digital Gamescom kicks off later this week, and once again the show will be proceeded by Gamescom Opening Night Live. Producer Geoff Keighley has been sharing some details about the show, and it sounds like it’s going to be a big one, running over two hours and featuring fresh looks at 38 games from 18 individual publishers.
So, what can we expect to see? Well, Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods, Fall Guys Season 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Destiny 2: Beyond Light, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, Mafia: Definitive Edition, Star Wars: Squadrons, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, Little Nightmares 2, Spellbreak, Age of Empires III Definitive Edition, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart have all been confirmed to be part of the show in some capacity. The following hype trailer has also been released, which also includes games like Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and more, although they’re not all guaranteed to be a part of Opening Night Live.
