Gamescom 2023begins today, and the Cologne-based gaming gigashow has a swanky, likely trailer-rich launch event to mark the occasion. Our Gamescom Opening Night Live 2023 liveblog will be up and running for the full two hours, and we – vid bud Liam and myself – will be reporting every scrap of news it feeds us. Care to join?
Stage host Geoff “No no no, DoorDash” Keighley has already pulled the expectation-setting levers, confirming a show that’smainly focused on known upcoming gamesrather than seismic, Summer Game Fest-style reveals. But it still sounds like there’ll be plenty to see, especially if you’re into yer blockbusters:Assassin’s Creed Mirage,Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, andMortal Kombat 1will all be getting substantial new showings, withAlan Wake 2,Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, andPayday 3also set for appearances.
