In his tweet, Big Geoff confirmed at least six titles that’ll feature on the showcase stage, which include:
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- MARVEL Rivals
- Dune Awakening

That’s definitely not all though, and we already know that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage will also feature, along with an as-yet-unannounced new game from the developers of Little Nightmares, Tarsier Studios.
Some of the companies confirmed to be at Gamescom itself include 2K, Bandai Namco, Bethesda, Capcom, EA, Konami, SEGA, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Xbox and more so there’s a lot of potential there.
