It’s hard to believe but Gamescom 2021 is taking place this week. The event will be all digital again this year, but there’s a number of streams taking place with some pretty awesome reveals lined up. There’s three major streams that you need to know about. The Xbox stream, Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live (over 30 games shown) and the Dying Light 2 stream.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM GAMESCOM 2021
There will be two major live streams. Xbox is holding a stream on Wednesday morning, and they’ve said that it will provide updates to games that we already know about. The Gamescom Opening Night Live stream will be the bigger one later in the week. We already know that we’re getting a look at over 30 games including the new Saint Row, a gameplay reveal for Call Of Duty: Vanguard, a new look at LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Saga and more. Lastly, we’re getting a new look at Dying Light 2 later in the week.
There’s bound to be a number of other announcements through the week as well, so we’ll keep this post updated if anything else pops up, or just generally as things get announced.
