Nothing signals the start of a very busy period in the gaming calendar better than the start of Gamescom, and as usual, the massive gaming expo is kicking things off with Geoff Keighley's annual showcase, Gamescom Opening Night Live. Like previous years, this will be streamed on various platforms and gaming fans can expect two hours of announcements and gameplay trailers.
Keighley will once again host Opening Night Live, and so far, numerous games have been confirmed for the show. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Marvel Rivals, Little Nightmares 3, and Monster Hunter Wilds are just some of the games you can expect to see, and something beastly has been teased. It's also bad news for Hollow Knight: Silksong fans, as that game won't be making an appearance.
We'll be keeping track of all the announcements coming out of Gamescom Opening Night Live, and you can regularly refresh this page to see the latest updates. If you're interested in watching, you can click the YouTube link here for the livestream.

It has been a hot minute since InZoi--Krafton's take on The Sims--has been in the spotlight, but Gamescom ONL had a fresh trailer for the upcoming life-simulation game.

With every new Sniper Elite game, the tide has been turning against the Axis forces in this World War II-era game series. Sniper Elite: Resistance continues that push to drive the Nazis out of Europe, and it'll be out in 2025. The big twist here? The game will star an entirely new protagonist who happens to have a talent for making Axis skulls explode with one well-placed bullet to the noggin.

An extended look at a Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 mission was shown off, and unsurprisingly, it was full of bullets, explosions, and a glimpse at former US president Bill Clinton. The game is looking as visually impressive as ever with its blockbuster-style pacing, and this year's entry in the series looks like it came straight out of a '90s action movie.
