It’s time for another Geoff Keighley-hosted blast of gaming news. Gamescom’s two-hour Opening Night Live event is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday at 2PM ET, with a preshow starting 30 minutes before. Thanks to teases on social media, we already have some idea of what to expect, including looks at Final Fantasy VII Revelation, The Witcher 3’s new Songs of the Past expansion, Gears of War: E-Day, and the Game of Thrones strategy game.
The event is happening just ahead of a potentially very big fall for the games industry. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to release on November 19th, and the rest of the games industry is largely steering clear of GTA VI’s launch. That means the next several weeks are packed with major releases, and we could see some of those new games at Opening Night Live, too. (Though GTA VI probably won’t show up given that it’s set to have a reveal event of its own on Thursday).
Here’s our coverage from Gamescom and Opening Night Live. You can watch the livestream of the show on YouTube.
