Given how many studios Embracer Group as a whole has under its belt, it can be hard to keep track of which studios and properties fall under which publishing label. The Koch Media label houses quite a few major names, including Deep Silver, Flying Wild Hog, and Milestone srl. Given that lineup, we can probably guess which games are going to show up at the event- or at least speculate about it.

Flying Wild Hog’s Shadow Warrior 3 is due out later this year, as is developer Fishlab’s Chorus, so it’s quite likely that we’ll be seeing more of those games. Dead Island 2, meanwhile, has been in development at Dambuster Studios for some time now, while it’s also about time we heard something official about Volition and Saints Row 5, so here’s hoping those games get updates as well.

Given that fact that Free Radical Design was only recently re-established and that development on the next TimeSplitters game hasn’t even started yet, it’s unlikely that we’ll hear more about that at the event.

Either way, we’ll keep you updated on all news coming our way, so stay tuned.

One of the oddest announcements at Gamescom was that Saints Row: The Third will be making its way over to the Nintendo Switch. Yes, The Third. Not the fourth game in the series, but the third on for some reason. Now, the third one is widely considered to be the best one in the series, so I’m sure no one is complaining. It’s just… odd.

We also now know when the game releases. Apparently, it’s out on the Switch in March 2019. It will also include all the DLC released for the game with the package, so you are getting the full deal here. This information comes from THQ Nordic’s opening speech at Gamescom (which you can see in the timestamped video below), and a tweet made by the official Saints Row account (also below).

Assuming this is priced right, this could actually be a very good pickup for Switch owners- they get an over the top, GTA style action game wit a lot of content on the go. I just really hope it’s not a full $60, as so many other Switch games often bafflingly seem to be.

Saints Row: The Third is also available on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Yes, it will include the DLC!
