At Gamescom Opening Night Live, new games are announced and there are updates on already released titles.
This is the case according to show host and producer Geoff Keighley, who used X on Tuesday to announce plans for next week's event.
Games already announced that will be included include “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6,” “Monster Hunter Wilds,” “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,” “Sid Meier's Civilization VII,” “Marvel Rivals” and “Dune Awakening,” he said.
“Yes, there will be announcements of new games,” Keighley confirmed in a follow-up post.
At its last major gaming presentation, the Summer Game Fest live event in June, the focus was largely on previously announced games scheduled for release this year.
