It’s time for Gamescom, friendos. Geoff Keighley is back to host another big video game showcase, and this time it’s the Opening Night Live presentation before Gamescom. The German event is taking place from August 21 to 25 in Cologne, but before fans, press, and developers explore the showfloor, we get to see a big ol’ preview of some upcoming games.
If you don’t want to watch the two-hour presentation, we’ve got a roundup of all the big announcements and trailers right here. If you missed the showcase and want to just watch it, you can also do that below: 2K Games and Gearbox opened the show with a teaser for Bordlerlands 4. The cinematic trailer shows psycho masks landing on a planetand being picked up by an unknown robotic character.
It will launch in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Hopefully it goes better for them than the live-action movie did. Next up we saw an extensive trailer highlighting Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s campaign, which will feature a photography mechanic on top of some hand-to-hand action sequences, motorcycle car chase segments, and the series’ core gunplay.
That homing knife looks pretty sick. The next cinematic trailer is a hodgepodge homage to several different video games, with references to Skyrim, Grand Theft Auto, and other games from different eras. It’s finally revealed to be (SPOILER) a remaster of Goat Simulator, which will launch later this year.
Persona 3 Reload’s Episode Aigis DLC is coming to the remake.
