UPDATING LIVE:

gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 marks the start of the gaming convention in Cologne, and is always packed full of announcements, trailers and gameplay reveals. It’s a lot to keep track of, so we’re rounding up all the announcements from gamescom ONL as they happen.

We’re expecting to see Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Resident Evil Requiem, and a sneek peak at the second season of the Fallout TV show alongside some surprises, and the whole shebang will be presented by the omnipresent Geoff Keighley.

Speaking of Keighley, earlier this week he confirmed seven of the games that will be shown during ONL, including The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, and World of Warcraft: Midnight. Sony is showing up with the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive Ghost of Yotei, Konami has Silent Hill f, and there’s a Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 music performance.

While it’s not on Keighley’s list, Game Science has confirmed its blockbuster action game Black Myth: Wukong will be at ONL. Whether that’s to show an Xbox release trailer (it hits Xbox Series X and S on August 20) or to finally reveal DLC is unknown at this point, but fans sure hope it’s the latter. And we also know Lords of the Fallen 2 will be revealed at ONL, via a developer tweet.
