The biggest video games expo of the year is about to start but what exactly is Gamescom and what games will it feature?

Although E3 is long gone, its European equivalent Gamescom continues to chug along and while it may not inspire the same amount of anticipation as Summer Game Fest, it’s getting bigger every year.

Aside from offering previews and updates for upcoming video games, the Opening Night Live showcase hosted by Geoff Keighley always includes some new reveals, with last year’s show announcing Borderlands 4 and the PlayStation 5 port of Indiana Jones And The Great Circle.

Before the show kicks off, you’ll want to know exactly which games will be shown during the event, including important new releases from Microsoft and Nintendo.
