Gamescom: here are all the games announced this night on PS5, Xbox Series X / S and Switch

Tonight at 8 p.m. is the launch of Gamescom. Like every year, Geoff Keighley, the producer of the Game Awards and the creator of the Summer Game Fest, gives us an appointment for the Opening Night Live. This is the big launch party with around thirty announcements and “World Premier” (world premiere) on the program.

An evening that should last about an hour and a half, and already promises us great things with new information on highly anticipated games, but also announcements of titles not yet revealed.

WHERE TO FOLLOW OPENING NIGHT LIVE 2022?

The conference will be broadcast live on the official Game Awards channel on August 23, 2022 from 8 p.m. It will also be possible to follow the event on Twitch and on Twitter.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OPENING NIGHT LIVE?

This year, Opening Night Live and Gamescom will have to do without a lot of big headliners. PlayStation, Nintendo, Activision or Electronic Arts will not be present in Cologne. On the other hand, Geoff Keighley has more than one trick up his sleeve and many games have already been announced and confirmed for this evening, including the highly anticipated Hogwarts Legacy, the highly anticipated Harry Potter game which will arrive on February 10. .

It will also be an opportunity to discover new images of The Callisto Protocol, the survival-horror, the spiritual sequel to Dead Space which is being developed by the former members of Visceral Games. Tonight, we should discover new images (and probably a release date) for Sonic Frontiers. A first preview of Lies of P will also be unveiled this evening with Tales from the Borderlands 2. In total, more than 15 games are already expected this evening:

Hogwarts Legacy
