Gamescom kicks off next week and ahead of Opening Night Live, the show's host and producer Geoff Keighley has reassured everyone it will definitely include "new game announcements".
Yes, apart from existing announcements like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Monster Hunter Wilds and Sid Meier's Civilization VII, players can also expect some brand-new reveals. So, there you go, there should be some surprises!
Geoff Keighley: "Yes, there will be new game announcements."
It's nice to know, especially after last year when Geoff mentioned before the ONL broadcast, how the 2023 show would be "less about announcing brand new projects" and instead "about giving fans updates on some of the biggest games" that were already confirmed.
Many games at this year's event (including some of the titles mentioned above) have already teased reveals, announcements and more. This includes Sega, which last week mentioned how it would be showing off Sonic X Shadow Generations, the new Atlus title as well as an unannounced project.
Gamescom will kick off later this month with Opening Night live on 20th August and the entire event runs until 25th August.
What would you like to see announced at ONL? Let us know in the comments.

Coverage of Gamescom will feature nonstop images of that guy.
Wrap it up Geoff, you’re taking too long
@jedgamesguy
Geoff is a open world Ubisoft game.
Weird that he runs 3 different shows every year
A new Sonic Adventure style game.
Why is it this same dude hosting both the North American and European shows?
I don't get why he hosts every gaming event now. It's like we can't escape him.
Before we get to the advertising you want to see, here, watch several ads you don’t want to see!
They will not announce 3rd party kids games by Outright Games / Microids / Game Mill / Merge Games / Team 17 so i can continue playing my current games collection.
Siiiiilksoooong.....
Siillkkkkssonngg...........
I find it intriguing that when E3 was around, Gamescom got zero high profile announcements... but now E3 is not around, Gamescom still gets zero high profile announcements.
I feel bad for the organisers of Gamescom... they must find that frustrating. What do we think... another 2 years before this also disappears?
Oh god I didn't know that guy was attached to it...
@nocdaes I think the days of physical-in-person celebrations of the gaming industry is over. Triple AAA gaming as a whole has many problems.
I'd rather see large-scale real life retro and indie events and I'd love to see more "off-the-beaten-path" projects of larger developers but with smaller budgets and more time.
Also another thing: Constraint often breeds creativity. Nowadays gaming has become just another industry geared towards large profit margins. Back in the day you had ambitions nerdy devs that worked very limited hardware and that limitations often bred great gameplay ideas and even new genres.
With todays consoles, there are basically no limits to what you can do, so you don't need to be as creative. Go Ubisoft and vomit collectibles over an open world map and call it a game.
Yes I am old and yes I can't wait for the release of EARTHION. lol
@Scollurio Which Ubisoft open-world games suffer from this problem? I don't believe Fenyx Rising counts. That game's only problem is excessive puzzles, but it's one of the few open-world games I enjoyed.
@RainbowGazelle Seriously we can't escape the Dirito man anywhere 😅
Bring back Joel McHale, just to make Geoff nervous again.
As nice as updates to existing announcements are I'd certainly hope there will be new ones as well and again, if anything (also) for Switch ends up being announced I'm looking forward to hearing about it here on Nintendo Life!
I am contractually obligated to be excited for Amplifier and Tarseir's REAL Little Nightmares 3, but everything else about the Geoff August Detroit Steamer Stream I am religously oppossed to.
@Lightsiyd
The RPG era Assassin’s Creed suffer from it big time, the maps are littered with icons for the same repetitive tasks and level gating to force grinding (higher level enemies can survive dozens and dozens of stabs to the head while being able to one shot you) so the whole thing becomes a dragged out a slog.
@Lightsiyd I’m tempted to say all of them. Far cry, ghost recon, assassins creed, the crew, watch dogs… all the same game with different lick of paint! Luckily I stopped caring a while ago!
This guy and Jools Watsham are featured here every month, haha.
I don't mind seeing Geoff Keighley's face because for me it always means some glimmer of hope for Silksong, even if 🤡🤡🤡
Geoff's taking over Gamescom now? Didn't know he was a producer for the show.
silksong better pull up 💀
15 more Soulslike certain to be announced.
@Scollurio it's the Ubisoft Ubergame.
I hope he’s eating a bag of Doritos.
Honestly, nobody really cares about third-party games. That's all a given. If Sony isn't on the slate, you can better believe viewers are gonna be disappointed and feel the show drags on too long and filled with ads. I've no doubt that will be the case unless Sony is there. Why? Because Xbox is floundering and it's own fans aren't sure what to even think about it but those of us that were around in the days of the Sega Dreamcast and Sega submitting to the competition were in denial and it took time to come to a realization of where Sega went wrong and why it ended up that way with trying to grasp the fact, I still can't today, that Sonic was on a Nintendo console (I still won't buy unless it's ONLY available on Nintendos console). Xbox is going through the same thing. Sony is seen as the enemy because it was Xbox's chosen rival while Nintendo gets to sit comfortably in the shade. Sega fans have been there and know that all goes.
But that's the mystery, what have Sonys devs been up to? Why have we been waiting so long and is worth the wait? That's the question on everyone's mind. Nintendo just did their big reveals so, unless Geoff has something from PlayStation, he's gonna get the usual response. We already know GTA VI will be shown and we've been told not to get too excited about it. Yeah, unless Sony has a big reveal or Kojima shows OD or his Sony project then it'll be a bust. Just more of watching Geoff grip his microphone like his..... Well, you know
@GMMXX "We already know GTA VI will be shown and we've been told not to get too excited about it."
At Gamescom? Not a chance LOL Rockstar wouldn't do that surely
