Gamescom 2024, the biggest video game event in Europe, is back in Cologne, Germany, from August 20 to 24. This year, gamers and industry professionals are excited to explore the latest titles on display.
The Opening Night Live showcase, hosted by Geoff Keighley, kicked things off with a bang. It featured trailers for several high-profile games including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Goat Simulator: Remastered.
During the showcase, Techland surprised fans with an announcement about Dying Light 3, bringing the well-loved parkour and zombie action back. Gamers were thrilled to learn that Kyle Crane, the hero from the original game, will return as the main character.
Bandai Namco also got in on the action by releasing a new gameplay trailer for Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero, while Amazon introduced a quirky new game called King of Meat, which promises ridiculous dungeons for co-op fun.
A brand-new game called Lynked: Banner of Spark also made its debut, showcasing its gameplay ahead of an October Early Access launch. Fans of narrative-driven games will be eager to try Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, set for a two-part release early in 2025.
Fans can also look forward to updates about other titles, such as Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and the open-world Dune: Awakening, allowing players to craft their own stories in the famed desert universe.
Exciting announcements weren’t limited to traditional gaming; Netflix revealed they will release Monument Valley 3 on December 10, while also making the first two games available to subscribers soon.
The evening continued with more talked-about titles like Starfield‘s upcoming DLC and Marvel Rivals, a new multiplayer shooter based on iconic comic characters.
