Gamescom 2022 is on the horizon. Europe is gearing up for one of the biggest gaming conventions of the year, which is set to take place later this month.
The event is often considered to be one of the biggest calendar highlights for gamers, almost at par with the annual E3 and the Summer Game Fest. The event is scheduled to kick off from the Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany on Tuesday, August 23. It will last a little less than a week, coming to an end on Sunday, August 28.
The event will kick off with the Gamescom 2022 Opening Night Live show, which will be a livestream hosted by Geoff Keighley. From August 24 - 28, it will be open to the public.
A conference on the potential of video games, titled The Congress, will be held on Thursday, August 25, 2022.
Though the complete schedule is yet to be officially revealed, Gamescom 2022 has provided a bit of an insight as to what one should expect from the event in the first couple of days:
1) Opening Night Live
As aforementioned, Geoff Keighley will be inaugurating the event with the Opening Night Live. The livestream will be accompanied by video game reveals and trailers like one has come to expect from the Summer Game Fest.
2) Future Games Show
The Future Games Show will feature 50 different titles from Team 17, 505 Games, Prime Matter, and others. A showcase of their recent and upcoming entries is something that fans will be able to look forward to.
