Gamescom 2022 is set to take place between August 24 and August 28 as a hybrid event — meaning it will take place both online and at the Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany — and we’re expecting no shortage of gaming news and demos over the course of those five exciting days. More than 500 companies have already registered for the show, including a solid selection of high-profile publishers eager to show off what they’ve been working on. Here are most of the major players you can expect to see at the show in August.
We have little to go on when it comes to what 2K is going to show off at Gamescom 2022, but it’s safe to assume we’ll get a first look at some new content for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and a glimpse at some upcoming sports titles. Beyond that, though, there are two major franchises with new entries in the works that we’re all hoping to see.
In 2019, it was revealed that a new BioShock game was in development from internal studio Cloud Chamber, so enough time has passed to make it at least possible that we could get our first glimpse at it. Meanwhile, reports of Mafia 4 surfaced earlier this year, and it’s expected to be a prequel to the original game. While it’s always possible we could see a teaser, it’s much less likely that we’ll see a significant reveal of that one.
Studio 505 Games has promised a “diverse lineup of product” at Gamescom 2022. We could very well get a closer look at the Finnish folklore-based Among the Trolls, and we can probably expect to see some fresh information on the upcoming roleplaying game Eiyuden Chronicles. If we’re lucky, we may even get a bit more information on the intriguing new title Miasma Chronicles that the company teased in May during its first-ever solo showcase.
