Silent Hill f Trailer

We’ve seen and heard a lot about Silent Hill f, whether it’s the heavier focus on combat (and even stat upgrades) or the multiple endings. And yet, given the proclivities of writer Ryukishi07 and artist kera towards the unsettling, it feels like we’ve barely even scratched the surface. A new trailer debuts at Gamescom Opening Night Live, and it’s also scheduled for day 2 of Xbox’s broadcast. Maybe some of that insanity will break loose before it launches next month.

ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X Release Date and Prices

If the rumors are true, Microsoft will announce the release date for the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X on August 20th, with pre-orders opening on the same day. Both handheld PCs will reportedly launch on October 16th for €599 and €899, respectively. It’s plausible enough, and hopefully, it goes the extra mile on really selling us on their features.

Hollow Knight: Silksong (Anything)

Doubters in shambles, once again? Potentially, because Hollow Knight: Silksong might get a release date announcement, maybe even a new trailer. Not only is it playable at both the Xbox and Nintendo booths, but Team Cherry has explicitly stated that it will launch before the ROG Xbox Ally. Plans could always change, but for now, the stars may finally align on one of the most anticipated games of all time.

Resident Evil Requiem

An “exclusive” new look at the next big title in the celebrated horror series? Don’t mind if we do. Set for August 19th at Gamescom Opening Night Live, there’s no telling what secrets it could reveal. And while a playable demo will be available on the show floor for attendees, known leaker Aesthetic Gamer alleges new screenshots, gameplay, and preview impressions on August 20th. Suffice it to say that you should prepare for an influx of new information (and maybe a Leon reveal?) regardless.

Ninja Gaiden 4’s New Trailer

One of my most anticipated games of the year, Ninja Gaiden 4, has looked absolutely incredible in nearly every showing. Would a new trailer at Gamescom Opening Night Live really offer more, especially after all the gameplay and previews? Probably not, but some more stylish, combat is a guarantee, and that’s all I can ask for.

Where Winds Meet

With its final beta wrapped, the odds of Everstone Studio’s massive open-world action RPG receiving a release date are greater than before. And what better place than Gamescom, where it was first announced about three years ago? All the pieces are in place, and based on everything we’ve seen thus far – the combat, the world size, the attention to detail – it could be another breakout hit for NetEase.

Honor of Kings: World Trailer

By comparison, Honor of Kings: World is in a somewhat weird spot. It saw some updates earlier this year from GDC, including solid-looking gameplay, but there’s been very little since. Regardless, with a new trailer at Opening Night Live and a playable demo on the show floor, maybe Tencent has a big announcement lined up, like a release window or even a beta.

The Division 2’s “Big Project” Announcement

As other live service titles falter or fall by the wayside, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is chugging along just fine. Massive has some pretty significant panels planned for Gamescom week, but we’re most interested in the “big project” announcement for the looter shooter. A big new expansion could be it, especially after the launch of Battle for Brooklyn. Here’s hoping it offers a brand-new region to explore and expands on the end-game further.

Crimson Desert Gameplay

Speaking of long-delayed, Crimson Desert was pushed from late 2025 to Q1 2026, but it’s still on track for a playable demo at Gamescom. New gameplay also wouldn’t be surprising, either at Opening Night Live or Future Games Show, but Pearl Abyss could release it online during the week to appease fans who can’t go hands-on. A release date reveal is unlikely, especially at this point, but at the very least, we’ll get to see how much further it’s progressed since the last gameplay showing.

Phantom Blade Zero’s New Trailer

Perhaps the most high-profile title at the Future Games Show on August 20th, Phantom Blade Zero is set to receive a new trailer. But it already received some extensive footage recently, so what gives? S-Game previously confirmed that attendees could play an hour-long demo on the show floor. Maybe this is an announcement for the long-sought public demo? It would certainly warrant a spot like this and, if nothing else, build on the hype even further.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s Release Date

Predicting Nintendo’s next move is always challenging, especially when it comes to Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, a project that’s been in the works since 2019. Nevertheless, it has reiterated a launch this year and with a playable demo for the title confirmed at Gamescom, a release date announcement seems all but a given. Whether it will happen at Opening Night Live is another question entirely.

Little Nightmares 3 Returns to the Carnevale

The other high-profile title appearing at the Future Games Show is Supermassive Games’ Little Nightmares 3. We already know the release date, and if anything, keeping much under wraps as possible would be fitting. That may explain why it’s venturing back to the Carnevale level from the Little Nightmares Showcase, offering up a familiar setting but with new thrills. Either way, we can’t wait to see what’s in store.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando

Where in the world has Toxic Commando been since its announcement in 2023? Granted, Focus Entertainment said it would launch sometime this year, but there’s little else besides. That doesn’t mean closed playtests haven’t been underway, as evidenced by a leak last July. Saber Interactive has a lot on its plate lately, but if Toxic Commando does appear at, say, Opening Night Live, an open beta announcement is the very least it could offer.

Dying Light: The Beast

Techland’s sequel isn’t just about freerunning and those nerve-shredding nights, it’s dialing up the splatter, too. The studio is touting far more realistic dismemberment and damage modeling, and a fresh gameplay slice is slated for the Xbox Gamescom showcase ahead of launch on September 19 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC, with PS4 and Xbox One versions following later this year.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Set to appear during the Xbox Showcase at Gamescom 2025, the next Onimusha is poised for a proper reveal with new details and footage. Expect a roughly 20-hour adventure that returns to classic, stage-by-stage progression and tells a standalone story, rather than an open-world follow-up to earlier entries.

Black Myth: Wukong — DLC Tease

As Black Myth: Wukong arrives on Xbox Series X|S on August 20, all eyes are on Opening Night Live for what looks like the game’s first DLC reveal. The timing suggests an add-on targeting a 2026 window, while the base game remains available on PS5 and PC.

If the surreal environments of Black Ops 6 were enjoyable, good news: They’re coming back on a bigger scale. Locations like Avalon and Alaska were also showcased, with robots (big and small), Wingsuits, and more revealed. Perhaps the most bizarre reveal is a giant human slamming down on David Mason and his team. By comparison, Raul Menendez making a return is fairly tame.

As rumored, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launches on November 14th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC (with no sign of a Switch 2 release). Alongside a co-op campaign, it features multiplayer and a new round-based Zombies mode, and even the return of Dead Ops Arcade. Omnimovement, which debuted in Black Ops 6, also makes a return.

In a series of posts on social media platform X, the official account for Amazon Prime’s Fallout series has posted seven pictures from the upcoming second season of the show. These pictures feature a wide variety of scenes from the show, including returning characters, new ones, and even a quick look at the post-apocalyptic take on the Mojave Desert surrounding the city of New Vegas.

The photos feature a variety of characters from the series, including Brotherhood of Steel members, as well as protagonist Lucy MacLean (as portrayed by Ella Purnell). A message accompanying the pictures also indicates that there will be plenty of twists and turns for fans of Fallout: New Vegas to discover with the show’s second season. “We got a Full House,” posted the X account. “Take a peek at what’s on hand for Season Two.”

Amazon had confirmed that the second season of the show would be getting a trailer during Gamescom just last week.

“Time for a little road trip,” posted the official social media account. “Season Two is coming but first: a quick pitstop @gamescom #OpeningNightLive on Tuesday. Bring a Stimpak.” This post was met with replies by both the official Xbox account, which posted “VIVA NEW VEGAS”, as well as the official Gamescom account, which posted “Already legendary”.

Gamescom is slated to kick off this week, with its first major attraction – Opening Night Live – slated to go live on August 19 at 11 am PT. The show will be hosted by Geoff Keighley, and will feature trailers, reveals, updates, and even new announcements, among other things.

Season 2 of Amazon Prime’s Fallout was greenlit by the company all the way back in April 2024, shortly after the show had made its debut. While filming and production for the second season had been kicked off back in November, the show hit a few roadblocks along the way. “We start November,” said actress Leslie Uggams last year. “I’m excited about it.”

Production hit a snag owing to wildfires having started in regions in Los Angeles where the show was being filmed. At the time, the Los Angeles permit agency for filming, FilmLA, had withdrawn permits that had been issued for filming in locations like Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge, and unincorporated Pasadena.

The second season of Fallout is slated to debut in December. As we get closer to the first episode of season 2, however, it is worth noting that Amazon has already greenlit a third season for the show.

“We are absolutely thrilled that our global Prime Video customers will be able to delve deeper into the wonderfully surreal and captivating world of Fallout,” said Amazon MGM Studios global head of television Vernon Sanders. “Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have done an exceptional job bringing this beloved video game franchise to vivid life on Prime Video. Together with our amazing partners at Bethesda Games and Bethesda Softworks, we are delighted to announce a third season of Fallout, well ahead of the much-anticipated debut of Season Two.”

Ghost of Yōtei launches on October 2nd for PS5 and picks up over 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima. Its protagonist, Atsu, embarks on a quest for vengeance in Ezo against the Yōtei Six. Sucker Punch recently released some new gameplay, focusing on the kusarigama and then the yari.

The Outer Worlds 2, meanwhile, arrives on October 29th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Previously priced at $79.99 before dropping to $69.99, it ventures to the colony of Arcadia to investigate some mysterious rifts. The “theater presentation” will focus on the Tomb of the Matriarch in the Protectorate’s territory.

As for Gamescom Opening Night Live, it will stream at 11 AM PDT on August 19th with reveals for Silent Hill f, Lords of the Fallen 2, and more. Keighley also confirmed a musical performance for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.

Alongside the announcement, it also shared some new artwork on Twitter, which showcases characters that aren’t in the base game. All of them look like suitably threatening foes – how they’ll fit into the story remains to be seen, but they should be entertaining fights regardless.

Development on the DLC was announced in September 2024 by Hero Games’ Daniel Wu, whose company contributed a significant amount to the title’s budget. Given the timing of the purported reveal, the DLC could very well release next year.

Stay tuned for more details and updates at Opening Night Live, which airs at 11 AM PDT on August 19th. You can also learn more about Black Myth: Wukong, currently available for PS5 and PC, through our feature.

“Time for a little road trip,” posted the official social media account. “Season Two is coming but first: a quick pitstop @gamescom #OpeningNightLive on Tuesday. Bring a Stimpak.” This post was met with replies by both the official Xbox account, which posted “VIVA NEW VEGAS”, as well as the official Gamescom account, which posted “Already legendary”.

Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event will be going live on August 19. Host Geoff Keighley had confirmed back in July that the event will be around two hours long, and will kick off at 11 am PT. Among the things showcased during Opening Night Live will be trailers, reveals, updates, and new announcements, among other things.

The second season of Amazon Prime’s Fallout had been greenlit by the company back in April 2024. The series is set to continue the story where the first season left off, and will likely involve New Vegas judging by some of the hints from season one. Filming for the second season had kicked off all the way back in November according to actress Leslie Uggams who plays Vault 33’s Betty Pearson. “We start November,” she said last year. “I’m excited about it.”

Since then, however, production had hit a number of issues, with wildfires in the Los Angeles regions where the show was being filmed causing delays. Back in January, the Los Angeles permit agency for filming, FilmLA, had explained that permits issued for filming in locations like Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge and uincorporated Pasadena were being withdrawn.

Despite these production hiccups, filming for the second season of Fallout was eventually wrapped up. A report from back in May described the plot of Fallout: Season 2 as one that will “take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas.”

Amazon MGM Studios global head of television Vernon Sanders had also confirmed that the company is quite confident in the second season of Fallout, going as far as confirming that the show is also getting renewed for a third season.

“We are absolutely thrilled that our global Prime Video customers will be able to delve deeper into the wonderfully surreal and captivating world of Fallout,” said Sanders. “Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have done an exceptional job bringing this beloved video game franchise to vivid life on Prime Video. Together with our amazing partners at Bethesda Games and Bethesda Softworks, we are delighted to announce a third season of Fallout, well ahead of the much-anticipated debut of Season Two.”

The Fallout series has been quite successful, with Amazon having confirmed that its first season had gotten more than 100 million viewers, making it one of the top three shows produced by Amazon Prime so far.

Launching on October 21st for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, Ninja Gaiden 4 focuses on Yakumo, a Raven Clan member who ventures to Tokyo to stop the resurrected Dark Dragon. Alongside demons, he must contend with the Divine Dragon Order and even series regular Ryu Hayabusa (who is occasionally playable). Yakumo battles with four different weapons and the new devastating Bloodraven Form.

Based on recent previews, Ninja Gaiden 4’s story lasts 15 to 20 hours, and there’s challenging side content, including optional “Purgatory” battles, to partake in. For newcomers, Hero Mode is available, which enables auto-guard and auto-dodge.

Stay tuned for potential new information at Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19th, 11 AM PDT. The show runs for two hours and also includes reveals for Lords of the Fallen 2, Silent Hill f and much more.

Announced last year following the 2023 reboot, Lords of the Fallen 2 is scheduled to launch in 2026 with Epic Games publishing the PC version (which pretty much guarantees exclusivity to its storefront). Nothing is known about the sequel, but CI Games marketing director Ryan Hill said it would “address all core player feedback” from its predecessor with a “quality over quantity approach.”

It’s also aiming for a greater appeal to a “wider addressable market” with “improved onboarding, a more inviting visual style, and westernized storytelling.” Walter Mair, who composed the soundtrack for 2023’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, is also on board.

We’ll find out more when Gamescom Opening Night Live airs on August 19th at 11 AM PDT. Thus far, confirmed titles include Resident Evil Requiem, Honor of Kings: World, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, Silent Hill f, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and the opening cinematic for World of Warcraft: Midnight.

What it could be is anyone’s guess, but just weeks after the announcement trailer at Summer Games Fest, it crossed one million wishlists. Pricing hasn’t been announced, though judging from the recent Monster Hunter Wilds, $69.99 is looking very likely.

Resident Evil Requiem launches on February 27th, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Unfolding several years after the events of Resident Evil Village, it follows Grace Ashcroft as she investigates a string of murders, which inevitably leads to a battle for survival against a mysterious monster.

While previous titles have opted for a singular perspective, Resident Evil Requiem is the first to offer a choice between first and third-person. This is more than a cosmetic change, however, as producer Masato Kumazawa described it as “developing two separate games.”

Early versions attempted to include online and open-world elements early in development, but Capcom ultimately pivoted since “it wasn’t what fans wanted.” Check out our feature for more details.

Again, this isn’t too surprising given previous events, but we’re more intrigued about which titles could appear. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is confirmed to have its worldwide reveal, likely showcasing campaign gameplay. Krafton’s inZOI is also due to reveal its new resort-themed city, Cahaya.

Otherwise, your guess is as good as ours. Perhaps Hollow Knight: Silksong will finally get a release date, especially since a new playable demo is available for attendees of the Xbox booth? We may also see new trailers for Little Nightmares 3, ARC Raiders, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants, and The Outer Worlds 2 (which is also getting an exclusive theater presentation).

Time will tell, so stay tuned. Gamescom Opening Night Live will air on August 19th at 11 AM PT.
