Geoff Keighly, of The Game Awards fame, will be hosting the gamescom Opening Night Live. This is a new show for Europe’s biggest gaming event, which as the name implies, is the opening act before the show floor opens.
gamescom Opening Night Live will be streamed on Monday, August 19th at 2PM EDT (Tuesday, August 20th, 2AM Malaysian Time, +8 GMT). 15 publishers are lined up to make some game announcements, with more to come.
The first 15 teased are as follows:
- 2K
- Activision
- Bandai Namco
- Bungie
- Capcom
- EA
- Epic Games
- Stadia
- Deep Silver
- Private Division
- Sega
- Square Enix
- Sony
- THQNordic
- Ubisoft
- Xbox Game Studios
Of the many announcements, one has been confirmed: Death Stranding. Keighly’s good friend Hideo Kojima will be showing a new preview of the game with a man that dies every 21 minutes.
