Gamescom kicked off Tuesday with the two-hour Opening Night Live presentation, hosted by The Game Awards’ Geoff Keighley. Streamed live on both YouTube and Twitch — as well as hosted in-person in Cologne, Germany — Keighley and Opening Night Live broadcast updates and announcements for more than 30 games, including Dead Island 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Gotham Knights, and Sonic Frontiers.
Here are all the announcements from Opening Night Live, including some that aren’t exactly games, like Hideo Kojima’s podcast and a Pokémon car.
It’s hard to say exactly what Everywhere is based off the teaser trailer, but there’s shooting, driving, explosions, space, and apparently an open world from developer Build A Rocket Boy. Everywhere is slated for 2023.
Funcom’s making a Dune game called Dune Awakening, a survival, open-world MMO.
Hogwarts Legacy got a new trailer during Gamescom 2022’s Opening Night Live, focused all on the dark arts. It’s expected out Feb. 10, 2023 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch.
Gearbox announced New Tales from the Borderlands, an episodic narrative game picking up after 2015’s Tales from the Borderlands. It follows three new “lovable losers” out to save to the world. Coming in October.
Former Bethesda Game Studios designer Jeff Gardiner and Obsidian Entertainment alumnus Charlie Staples formed Something Wicked Games, and announced Wyrdsong on Tuesday.
Zombie role-playing game Dead Island2 was originally announced in 2014, but it’s been re-revealed at Gamescom 2022. There are six playable characters, with a “pulpy and irreverant tone.” It’s expected out on Feb. 3, 2023 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
