Gamescom 2022 approaches with a rush of press conferences, announcements, and updates on some of the year’s biggest games. This article will be our living list for the 2022 conference, updated as press conferences and livestreams are announced. After such a massive Not-E3 (and because the show is taking a hybrid in-person/remote approach this year), Gamescom may be a slightly quieter show than usual.
But for those who love a trailer showcase, Geoff Keighley will be kicking things off as always with Opening Night Live, so let’s start there.
Gamescom Opening Night Live
The now-traditional opening ceremony of the Gamescom conference is Opening Night Live, a classic Geoff Keighley trailer parade similar to Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards. Expect announcements, developer appearances, and many ‘World Premiere’ voiceovers.
