Gamescom: Opening Night Live will start at 7pm UK time (11am Pacific) then run until 9pm (1pm Pacific). A pre-show will start 30 minutes beforehand, dunno if it’ll be worth watching though. We do already know some of the games on show. Expect a Saints Row reboot, Far Cry 6, Call Of Duty: Vanguard, Sifu, Lego Star Trek: The Skywalker Saga, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, Genshin Impact, and Death Stranding: Director’s Cut. Also Psychonauts 2, though that came out today? Plus presumably games we don’t yet know about. Microsoft’s Xbox stream last night was six hours long with ten minutes of content (see our roundup), so this running for 17 hours does feel malevolent. But maybe it’ll be fine. I am, at the very least, well up for more Saints Row. And more Death Stranding. And I can’t wait to see a wee mute Lego Captain Kirk mime “Khaaan!”

I prefer YouTube’s player for streaming stuff, but it’ll also be broadcast on Twitch, Twitter, and Facebook. Geoff Keighley said yesterday that the show will bring “content debuts” from: 2K, Activision, Bandai Namco, Bethesda, Blizzard, Bungie, Deep Silver, Devolver Digital, Electronic Arts, Frontier Developments, Focus Home Interactive, Gearbox Software, Headup Games, PlayStation, Warner Bros. Games, Xbox Game Studios, and more. CONTENT DEBUTS. Gag. He said on Sunday that at that point, the lineup included 38 games. It could be more now. He’s confirmed quite a few trailers and games and bits since then, including a peek at Star Wars: Squadrons, the reveal of Fall Guys season 2, some Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, a Crash Bandicoot trailer, a look at Destiny 2: Beyond Light’s Stasis, a vid for Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods, a trailer for Scarlet Nexus from Bandai Namco, the reveal of a new Sims 4 game pack, a vid for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, the start of a World Of Warcraft: Shadowlands animated series, a story trailer for Respawn’s new VR Medal Of Honor game, a Little Nightmares II gameplay premiere, that there Ratchet & Clank off PS5, some Spellbreak announcement, a new trailer for Mafia: Definitive Edition. We’ll be posting about content debuts as they premiere exclusively worldwide too, of course.
