Everything announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024

GAMESCOM Opening Night Live 2024 ONL: Official Livestream (Tuesday, August 20, 11a PT/2p ET/8p CEST) This story is part of our Summer Gaming Marathon series.

While June may be the busiest month for video game showcases, the summer doesn’t truly end until Gamescom Opening Night Live. The annual live stream, which kicks off the Gamescom convention in Germany, has become the biggest gaming show outside of Summer Game Fest. That’s no coincidence considering that Geoff Keighley hosts both. This year’s Opening Night Live is set to be the biggest yet, with two hours of game reveals planned.

What’s on the docket? More heavy hitters than usual. While previous years primarily spotlighted “AA” games and more niche titles from European studios, this year’s show has some bigger reveals on the menu. We’ll get new looks at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Monster Hunter Wilds, Civilization 7, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and much more. You can expect some surprises too. Kojima Productions is teasing a new Death Stranding 2 trailer for the show and Keighley himself shared a mysterious teaser for a new horror game before the show.

To help you keep up, we’ll be live updating this article throughout the show with every announcement. If you can’t watch it live, or just want to catch up once its all done, make sure to bookmark this page.
