The yearly German gaming festival Gamescom is back in person this year and so is its kickoff event Opening Night Live. Geoff Keighley is returning again to host the evening and we can expect a similar sort of event to his Summer Game Fest shows. ONL will come with premieres and announcements and gameplay for some of the big upcoming games of 2022 and 2023.
Of course, ONL isn’t the only place for previews and announcements next week. Check out our fullGamescom 2022 schedulefor a list of events to watch. Don’t worry, this week isn’t as cram-packed with broadcasts as the middle of June. For the most compact reel of reveals though, Opening Night Live is where you’ll want to tune in.
