Gamescom Opening Night Live is back for another year, and to make sure you're prepared to check out the approximately two-hour summer presentation that'll include a bevy of announcements for some brand new games and other previously announced ones, here's all the information you need on when and where you can tune in for Gamescom ONL 2025.
There's a lot to look forward to in this year's show, as it'll feature looks at upcoming games like Resident Evil Requiem, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, The Outer Worlds 2, Ghost of Yotei, Silent Hill f, and Ninja Gaiden 4, and those are just a few of the titles confirmed to be at the showcase.
There's also a good chance we'll get the release date for the ROG Xbox Ally, a release date, and a new look at gameplay for Hollow Knight Silksong. We might also get the release date for Crimson Desert, which will be at the convention with a playable demo for attendees. And in more recent news, it looks like Sony will unveil its new Inzone H9 II headset during the showcase.
All that to say, you won't want to miss this year's show, since even all those announcements we know or already have hints about still leave plenty of time to fill in its estimated two-hour runtime.
