The Gamescom Opening Night Live event has well and truly ended early this morning, but the whopping two hour presentation showcased quite a few games. Here’s a quick and dirty list of everything that was announced last night.
Kait Diaz takes center stage to discover who she is, or at least who her family is in the first proper story trailer for Gears 5. The game is releasing 10th September 2019 for Xbox One and PC.
The game will feature objective-based multiplayer combat and intense dogfights with an early access program starting in early 2020.
The trailer shows off more of the day and night mechanics and sets the scene for Palm City. Need for Speed Heat launches November 5th 2019.
The game will let you colonise the Mun, with the trailer showing off space station gameplay as well. Releasing before the end of March 2020 for Windows PC via Steam and “other storefronts”. Console versions will follow “shortly” after for Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
The sleeper hit will continue to follow Six but this time she has a new friend named Mono. They’ll journey together too – but could coop be a feature this time? We’re not sure. But Little Nightmares 2 will be hitting Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC in 2020.
The game is an online multiplayer shooter where one player plays as the Predator while others play as the prey. The build is pre-alpha, but still gives you an idea of how the game plays including the “Predkour” parkour system. This one is a Playstation 4 exclusive, coming next year.
Wow.
It’s being touted as “PvEvP” game. It’s apparently a game you have to play to understand, so get to it!
The penultimate episode of the brother drama is sure to bring the twists and turns when it launches on August 22nd this week.
The game is being developed by the team who brought you Endless Space 2, and lets you build a civilisation from the Neolithic era to the modern age. The catch? You start as the Romans, but you can evolve and mix and match aspects from other cultures to create your own unique culture. Humankind will be hitting PC in 2020.
The game will hit Steam in early access in the second half of 2020, but you can expect the full release in 2021. So far, only a PC release has been confirmed.
The game features all of the downloadable expansion packs, and comes on one game card too. The Witcher III: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition releases on Nintendo Switch in October.
Developed by Marcus Lehto, former creative director at Bungie, the game focuses on Roamer, a robotic pilot of a heavily armed vehicle called the Gravcycle. It has a full story campaign and of course, given the studio’s pedigree, a multiplayer element too. The game is launching in 2020 on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.
In the game, you’ll “face your worst fears” as you are confronted with the “emotional impact of your actions”. The story is said to mix fantasy with reality and will let you either hide or confront your enemies, which is refreshing for a horror game honestly. Oh, and it’s a Stadia exclusive. Welp.
The game has you playing as the titular character as she tries to unfold the mystery of her deceased father. The game was first announced back in 2017, and is playable with either your phone or a DualShock 4.
The long-running strategy series will introduce turn-based naval battles for the first time, with up to ten ships battling it out. There’s four campaigns to play through as well, as well as 60 Carribean cities to trade with.
Yeah look we’re just gonna wait this out and see what happens when the game hits Playstation 4 on November 8th 2019.
