Gamescom, one of the most anticipated gaming events of the year, has not disappointed so far. The festivities kicked off with the much-hyped Opening Night Live showcase, setting the stage for what's to come in the world of gaming. Last year, we got a taste of hits like Mortal Kombat 1 , Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty , and a fresh season of Diablo 4 .
But this year? Oh, it’s even bigger. The 2024 event delivered major reveals, including the long-awaited announcements and release dates for Borderlands 4 and Civilization 6 . But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
To keep you in the loop, we’ve compiled everything you need to know about what’s been announced, teased, and revealed at Gamescom 2024 so far. Here’s your ultimate rundown: Borderlands 4 reveal trailer Perhaps as a way to make people forget about the recently released (and eminently forgettable) Borderlands movie , series developer Gearbox opened up the Gamescom opening night stream with the announcement of Borderlands 4 . And that's pretty much it.
We don't know anything about what Borderlands 4 actually entails, or how it differs from previous games in the series, but we know it exists and it's coming out in 2025. Dying Light: The Beast announcement Rather than make story DLC for Dying Light 2 or convert the ideas it had for that DLC into a hypothetical Dying Light 3 , the developers at Techland have decided on a different approach: Just make a smaller game. Dying Light: The Beast promises around 20 hours.
