Gamescom Opening Night Live will include new game announcements, as well as updates on previously revealed titles.

That’s according to show host and producer Geoff Keighley, who used X on Tuesday to tease plans for next week’s event.

Some of the previously announced games set to be featured include Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, Marvel Rivals and Dune Awakening,” he said.

“Yes, there will be new game announcements,” Keighley confirmed in a follow-up post.

His last major gaming showcase, June’s Summer Game Fest live event, largely focused on previously announced games scheduled for release this year.
