First things first - the links you'll need. We're a few hours from launch, but you can catch Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024 on  , , or . You'll want to tune in at at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST / 8pm CEST if you ♋want to catch the whole thing.

Ok, so what can we expect from Opening Night Live? Well, thankfully, our good friend Geoff has already given us a decent sense of some of the bigger titles that'll be making some kind of appearance. The official YouTube thumbnail for tonight's stream features 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter Wilds, Marvel Rivals, Dune : Awakening, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Sid Meier's Civilization 7.

So expect those, I guess.

We'll see different amounts of each of those games, of course. Civilization 7 promises a 20+ minu💫te deep dive gameplay reveal. Historically, Call of Duty has shown off an early level at events like these, so expect some of the campaign, and a focus on the visuals as much as the gunplay. Marvel Rivals could offer up a release date or a new hero reveal. And I've got no idea what Capcom might bring to the table , but given the hype around Monster Hunter Wilds꧙ and its 2025 release, I'm very excited to find out. A release date, perhaps?

I'm expecting plenty of surprises, of course - Opening Night Live runs for two hours, and even with lengthy reveals from Call of Duty and Civilization, there'll be plenty of space for other anno🦩uncements. As for what those might be, I couldn't say for sure, ꧂but I can make some educated guesses (read: rampant speculation).

Geoff Keighley and Hideo Kojima's long friendship is well-documented, and the latter has shown up at the former's♒ showcases several times in the past few years. Koj's Twitter suggests he's still in Japan at the ꧑moment, but one very recent tweet leads me to think he might be plotting something.

Realistically, that's not much to go on. That image is so vague that it could simply mean that Kojima is practicing his photography. But it could also be a read that he's playing something. Given that he's also been back on his 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding 2 teasers this week, could this be a tease of a new bui▨ld, or perhaps a new trailer? That's a reach, but it's unlike Kojima simply offer up a contextless photo with nothing deeper behind it.

Getting closer to reality, I'd be surprised if we didn't get something chunky from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Rivals. This will be the Marvel-backed hero shooter's first major outing since its pretty successful beta, and given how busy the genre threatens to be﷽ right now, I'd be hoping to make a pretty big splash if I was the team behind the leading contender. A release date or a new hero do seem like the most obvious picks - a 2024 or early 2025 launch seem within reach, and the devs have been steadily rolling out some new faces over recent weeks.

I'm back into guessing territory here, but I can also see Ubisoft making a minor showing today. With both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Outlaws and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Shadows really very close at this point, this is another chance for Ubisoft to get a whole heap of eyeballs on two of what promise to be some of the biggest games 🎐of the rest of the year. Outlaws is now only days away, and Shadows is stepping up the 😼marketing, so ONL seems a natural beat.

Oh, and in case you missed the recent Shadows trailer, you re🍬ally should check out heavy-set protagonist Yasuke's fresh💧ly-dubbed 'Yeet of Faith'.

Helpfully, in the last 20 minutes or so, Geoff Keighley has given something of an update about what more we can expect. As well as all those games I mentioned earlier, the one that jumps out to me straight away is Mecha Bre🤪ak, w♓hich is straight off the back of a 3-million player open beta that helped it gain a million Steam wishlists.

I'll be honest, that one nearly passed me by, and I only took proper notice as the beta was wrapping up, so I've got little sense of what to expect. There's no full lauꦡnch date attached to Mecha Break yet, though, so fingers crossed on that front.

Also making an appearance tonight is Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. In the true spirit of the anime, it's already been described as intensely unbalanced, because you're not suppꦚosed to go into it expect🔜ing it to be an esports experience. With a release date just around the corner on October 11, I'd expect little more than a sizzle reel from this one - though with 164 roster slots to fill,ꦰ I'm sure there are still some Goku variants out there that Sparking Zero hasn't shown off yet.

Also on that list is Diablo 4 and its upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Vessel of Hatred expansion. Also set to release in October (pe𒁃r a frankly disg🌊usting trailer that aired during SGF back in June), Vessel of Hatred could just be the tool that cements Diablo 4's rocky first year into a more secure place and nails the game down as an all-timer.

Last month, we spoke to Blizzard about the game's new class, which is coming in with the expansion, and will serve as the first new addition to the mainline series in a decade. Fortunately, it might not throw you off too much, as Diablo 4's Vessel of Hatred class promises to be something of a mix of Rogue and Bꦉarbarian.

Hopping back, if you'll allow me, to Civilization 7, it seems we might have our fiꦆrst leak of the evening. No show is 100% watertight, and as much as Geoff might wish that wasn't the case, sometimes a few details sneak through.

This time, that's the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Civilization 7 release date. Notable (and accurate) leaker Billbil-kun tweeted this afternoon to say that the new iteration in the legendary 4X series will release on February 11. The surprisingly detailed leak also comes with information about pricinꦿg for various editions and platform versions, which to my mind lends it a little c💮redence - potentially risking your reputation on something as specific as the price of the Collector's Edition seems something you wouldn't be willing to do unless you had something concrete to go on.

Back to Geoff's list, and there's two outings from Little Nightmares developer Tarsier. Offering up both Little Nightmares 3 and an unannounced "new game," the studio seems to be promising a big evening for fan♚s of miserable little guys going sideways.

Big news for any big Indiana Jones fans attending this year's Gamescom in person. Stein, senior social media manager over at Xbox, is already hyping up the game's presence at the show - "the best booth I've ever 🔯seen us bring to Gamescom"? - sounds impressive!

There's an interesting array of smaller projects on Geoff's list for later. He's been teasing horror experience The Beast is Coming today, and he also says we should be looking out for Squid Game: Unleashed, Th💯e First Berserker: Khazan, and Towerborne. That's all on top of "many new game announcements, surprises, and special guests." Perhaps I should have more faith in my Kojima prediction...

Squatting dragon-like on top of this list, of course, is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Myth: Wukong. The action RPG is extremely fresh on the scene having only launched overnight, and that means we'll probably see some kind of launch or accolade trailer - another example of a major release making t🉐he most of all of those ONL eyeballs.

What's different here is that Black Myth: Wukong is popping off. Right now, it's extendi🌠ng its lead over Palworld and Counter-Strike 2, having surpassed both of those games - as well as, you know, Elden Ring, Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur's Gate 3, and basically everything else - on its way to becoming the second highest-played game on Steam ever. Right now, only PUBG remains standing in its way. Personally, I can't see it gaining the million+ concurrents it needs to beat that record, but with a massive Chinese audience behind it, there'🧜s always a possibility.

If you want to get the rumor mill ✨churning, then there's apparent word of a few more appearances. That 'The Beast is Coming' teaser could be something linked to Dying Light, according to YouTuber JorRaptor, who also further vindicates my suggesting that Kojima is secretly on a plane to Germany, with a claim of a Death Stranding 2 trailer. There could also be something new from Josef Fares, the Oscar-cursing director behind It Takes Two and A Way Out, as well as some kind of secret SEGA project. Mysterious.

Rounding out that ever-present list are a few more notable titles. There's an RPG feast on the cards with Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as well as something for the Life is Strange fans thanks to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lost Records: Bloom & Rage.

We've got a bit of time tꩲo kill before the show, so if you're looking for some further 🤡reading on either of those last two games, look no further:

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 promises to be far bigger than its predecessor, with its main voice actor boasting that he💎 recording 508 hours of dialogu💙e. It'll also be staying "true to the core RPG experience," acဣcording to its developer, even as it grows to twice the size as the original and aims for a little extra accessibility.

As for Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, ꦓwe spoke to developer Dont Nod back in Ap💞ril to get a better sense of the game's protagonist, choices, and story. In our chat with c🔯reative director Michel Koch and executive producer Luc Baghadoust, we uncovered a lot, and I'm hoping there's plenty more to come. 

The slightly unfortunate news is that Bloom & Rage did get its planned release date pushed back a bit, but the silver lining there is that Dont Nod only moved the date so as not to clash with the new 🍬Life༒ is Strange game. A bit of a gamedev 'thanks dad'ꦺ moment, for you there.

As much as I'd ▨love to stick around all evening, I can't s🧸tay glued to my chair for the next two hours. Never fear, however, we'll have a few more updates before the start of the show, which is when the live coverage begins in earnest. Ciao!

One thing you shouldn't expect from ONL today is Hollow Knight: ♏Silksong. Geoff Keighley himself confirmed the long-awaited Metroidওvania is not ♑going to be at the show, as Team Cherry is "still cooking." Just go ahead and save the clown makeup for a different day - I'm sure you'll find a brilliant opportunity for it.

As Black Myth: Wukong continues to dominate Steam charts and industry conversations ahead of Gamescom Opening Night Live, many devs and analysts predict the instant🃏-hit action RPG could change the na🐓ture of games in and from China, with some calling it "proof a well-made single-player game can be big." We may well see another Chinese hit, Genshin Impact, at today's show, as developer HoYoverse is a recurring attendee for events like this, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Genshin I🅺mpact has a massive update coming soon. 

If you're one of the lucky people attendi♋ng Opening Night Live in person, your luck might not have run out yet. Journalist (and friend of the Future Games Show) Jordan Oloman is in Cologne, where he s༺ays that 'Golden Geoff Tickets' are being handed out. The recipients will be one of 50 people invited to meet the Geoff-Man himself after the show. I wish that were me.

And speaking of Geoff, he's gඣett𝕴ing the hype building. Some fun things ahead, hmm?

You know something else that's happening in the gaming world tonight? The launch of Concord, Sony's upcoming hero shooter. Admittedly, this is only early access for the Deluxe Edition customers - standard edition players will be able to join in in a few days' time - but you have to admit this might not be the best timing ever. 

Black Myth: Wukong was already set to take names today, and ONL is probably going to soak up a lot of the rest of the attention. For a game that's somewhat struggled to build upꦍ a head of steam, Concord might have benefitted from a slightly less busy launch day. Nevertheless, despite a muted audience response so far, the critical reception hasn't been too bad, so perhaps Concord could surprise us.

If you're only𝔉 just getting here, that's absolutely fine, because the main show is yet to start. But if you've been here a while, then you might have caught some of the pre-show, the main highlight of which appears to be this crossover between Dave the Diver, musician mxmtoon, alchemist simulator Potion Craft, and poker-style roguelike Balatro. No, I don't know how that all fits together either.

Street Fighter 6 trailer ends the preshow! And we're off to the actual races as Gamescom Open🎶ing Night Live begins i🌄n earnest.

Geoff Keighley takes the stage. I (US Managing Editor Rollin Bishop) am not qualified▨ to 🦩speak about how he's dressed or the shoes he is wearing. I'm currently wearing a white T-shirt and basketball shorts.

Keighley out here hyping up the night desp🌄ite all the struggles of the industry overall. Indiana Jones, Dune, all that jazz. You know 'e🍬m, you love 'em. He... is trying German. Emphasis on "trying."

2K Games fi♋rst up and out. Keighley says it hasn't leaked!

Hello there, Borderlands 4! 2025. Looks to be... set in space? Or something? Just a tiny, little teaser showing off the iconic mask. Congratulations to Randy Pitchfoꦿrd.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is up. Call of Duty Next event will show off more, but they're here to talk about the upcoming game's campaign. The folks talking about it mean well, but the energy is low as we move in🎀to seeing "Most Wanted" from the game.

"M🧸ost Want💧ed" walks us through a political heist that feels a bit like Call of Duty playing Hitman. Honestly, if the rest of Black Ops 6 plays around with mission formula like this, I'd be happy as a clam.

But of course not everything goes to plan and "Pantheon" is here to cause troub🐠le. While it seems like you're offered to go quiet or loud, the gameplay seems to indicate they've gon🌌e "loud."

They keep sꦏpeeding through sectionꦦs, which I assume is to leave some surprises, but all it does for me is make me have to keep typing as fast as my little fingers can go.

Big beefy minigun-wielding enemy is taken out by a checks notes RC car bomb. All right.

You know what? There are a lot of dark shadow𓆉s in this showcase, but I overall actually quite like how the lighting looks. Congratulations to all the folks that contributed to that vibe.

I'm pretty sure main dude just th🌟rew a knife that he then controlled somehow. I don't care how it works; I jus𓃲t want to do it all the time.

Protagonist and the person 𒉰he saved (?) zoom out of the frying pan and into the fire on motorcycles. There's more Fast and the Furious DNA here than I expected.

And we're done! Keighley introduces Sjokz to then introduce more stuff. (Shout outs to the EU LCS; real ones k꧂now.)

We're seeing a trailer for... something. There's a ꦰprison with awkwardly gli🍰tched characters and bugs.

T-pose bugs, clipping... there are all sorts. I have absolutely no idea what this could be for, but it certainly lo♕oks to do with all the ways games can be broken.

...is this Goat Sim?

Well, f🐎riends, it is in fact for Goat Simulator Remastered, coming 2024. I don't know, man. Sjokz, pl꧋ease, no more GOAT Goat Simulator jokes, I beg of you.

Persona 3 Reload up! Spec🎐ifically, bit about the upcoming Episode Aig💝is DLC.

There's a Person 5 crossover? A challenge batt🅘le against the Phantom Thieves, it looks like. It was too brief to really fully understand.

Speaking of brief, we are immediately onto a new game. Techland, s🍸o says the trailer. Military folks wander around a forest in the dark looking for something, which seems to🥂 also be watching them.

Whate🌞ver it is, it absolutely whooped some folks and continues to whoop new folks in the trailer here. Our military friends keep getting picked off. "Every man has an animal within, if you push too much you might unleash the beast."

...is tﷺh📖is Dying Light 2 DLC? It sure looks like it now.

Dying Light The Beast, new adventure with 20 hours of gameplay and open world. Seems like a neꦡw game entirely.

Black Myth: Wukong launch trailer is up now. It's showing off combat gameplay and some generally impressive-looking environments. There's nothing explicitly new new here, but I ain't ma🌟d about seeing theꦚ game in action another time.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is up! I would like to take this opportunity to say that I bring up this game to🃏 our news editor Ali Jones on a daily basis, and the face he makes at me for my shenanigan🅰s is worth every moment.

Anywayꦗ, this is just a new trailer showing more gameplay and cutscenes. Looks like a Budokai game, because it is.

I do not know what this weird trailer featuring animated Geoff is about. King of Meat, which it finally reveals, looks like a monstrous dungeon creator? Inspired choice to have "Insane in the Membrane" byꦓ Cypress Hill as the soundtrack to this, at least. 

Also animated Keig𓄧hley bites it at the end of 🧸the trailer.

Some of the folks at FuzzyBot are here to talk about its new game, Lynked: Banner of the Spark. Co-op hack-and-slash with some town-building elements to "brawl, buꦯild, and befriend.𒈔"

It seems nice? But I do feel like ONL could focus more on👍 the showing rather than the telling, or at least telling after showing.

Yeah, see, the trailer here makes a much more compelling case for the game. Show me what the thing is and then tell me about what I saw.

Brief note about Gamescom Cares before a new look at Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. Classic Life is Strange-style gameplay, for what it's worth🔯, with some fun characters and a compelling mystery. Some kind of I Know What You Did Last Summer problem with a package dredging up the past.

And we immediately move right on to yet another zombies game. No More Room in Hell 2 is coming soon. 8-player co-op is a tempting premise,💎 even if I've playe🍌d dozens of zombie games before.

And Geoff segues quickly to Arc Raiders. You might recall it having been 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:anno꧅unced ൩at December 2021's The Game Awards. It looked good then, and it looks good now! But not much meat on the bones of this teaser trailer,ꩲ really.

Thank the Maker; Infinity Nikki trailer is here to seriously shift t💜he energy of Gamescom Opening Night Live. I have absolutely no idea what is going on here (I thought Nikki was a dress-up game?) but it is bright and🍨 colorful and strange. That'll do me just fine.

Never mind we're back to dour; Warhammer Space Marine 2 is what Infinity Ni🍨kki bookends into. "Heed the call of war," it says. Sure. I can do that. Where you want me?

Predecessor, which you might know of because it came out of "the ashes of Epic Games' Paragon," is up. Sure l🃏ooks like a MOBA shooter. Good luck with that and I wish you well.

Path of Exile 2! Looks like Path of Exil🔯e, but more. Which, I mean, yeah. If you're hungry for another action RPG in the vein of classic Diablo, there's frankly not much better than what Grinding Gear Games is up to. November 15, 2024 is the Early Access date.

"Game༒scom is known for its cosplay," says Sjokz. I'll take your word for it.

Dune Awakening. I have awoken to awake to ♈wakefulness as we see a bit discussing how the game begins. Hunte♒d by sandworms and scorched by sun, you have to stay in the shade to survive for any length of time. Arrakis is dangerous, it turns out.

Dune Awakening walks through some combat and building. The showcase builds and then f✅lies an ornithopter, which I mean whomst among us wouldn't fly one given the opportunity. It feels like the planet in general in a biꦇg selling point, and I wouldn't mind playing Arrakis Flight Sim for a good chunk of time.

We've seen a good bit of this before, at least behind closed doors, earlier this year. But it does mark the first ti𝓀me the public is seeing how all of this works. Looks neat! Do like Dune, do like being awake.

New g🍸ame from the Little Nightmares folks is up now. Small folks running around in the dark. I'm not much of a spooky person, so Reanimal -- the title was just revealed as I was writing -- probably isn't for me. But it sure seems like it'll be for a lot of people! Again, the lighting was very good. Good job, lighting folks.

Genshin Impact is here now to show off more of Natlan, the new nation set to arrive in the coming weeks with the big 5.0 update. Bright, colorful, with lots of pop. Also apparently one of these new characters ri🌱ght a shark and the other is a gamer. So, there's that.

Genshin Impact is officially coming to Xbox൲ Series X/S on November 20!

Monster Hunter Wilds is here! Hands-on de🌜mos happening at Gamescom, but we specific🐠ally are being treated to a new trailer.

What in the name of everything holy is this wild flower spider-lookin' monstrosity? I do not want any of that. (But it was very prettyꦯ.) And the footage of the camp here is nice and brown, just like I like to see.

More combat with the lightning-blasting wyvern thing. (Apologies to senior staff writer Austin Wood and also my b💖rother; I'm not a hunter of 𒆙monsters personally.) Looks deadly and cool.

The trailer ends with a black screen then a stinger of cooking. "So tasty!" Good, yes, exactly what I ꧙want.

Lara Croft is coming to Naraka Bladepoint on August 28. That's itﷺ; that's the news.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will officially include Mai Shiranui, as if there💛 were every any doubt. It ain't Fatal Fury without her.

And right into the next thing! Mecha Break, I believe, is showing off a whole mess of fast-paced gameplay. I'll take "multiplayer mech game" any day of ꦐthe week.

Monum♑ent Valley 3 is on the way! First look here at ONL; coming to Netflix (from Netflix Games).

Lots of perspective puzzling in clas🙈sic Monument Valley style. Lovely minimalist art and swapping around. Also apparently sailing about on lil boౠats? And there's a fish. Rude fish.

Exclusive to �🍨�Netflix Games and releasing December 10, 2024.

Civilization 7 gameplay o💛n the way, sounds like. Ed Be🐼ach, creative director on the game at Firaxis, is here to talk about.

"Civ 7 is by far the biggest, most ambitious game 🍬Firaxis has ever mad🐬e," says Beach.

There's apparently a new in-game narrator, but we're not going to see that now. What we are goiꦑng to see is the f♒irst real look! But first, a history lesson about Civilization. Dustin Bailey, eat your heart out.

Hex tiles? Yeah, that's Civ all right. Little people running around and ships and tanks and nuclear explosions and leaders and trains and templates and volcanoes and space rockets. History come ali𝓡ve, innit. Showcase after ONL tonight.

And now, immediately, Starfield. And more important, its new vehicle, the Rev-8! Mako this is not. Free update with that available tonight! Shattered Space DLC on Sep✱tember 30.

Marvel Rivals! New information! Captain America, Winter Soldier, and Black Panther all seen. This ain'💃t beating the Marvel Overwatch allegations.

𒅌Cap says "I can do this all day," because of course he does. Also ꧃there's a tease that Doom is up to something, because of course Doom is up to something. He usually is!

Marvel Rivals launches December 6, 2024.

Gamescom Opening Night Live now turns to climate action. They recommend setting up energy-savinꦅg mode. Good tip.

I looked away for a moment and Tencent Games go෴t an award? All right. Shout outs to Level Infinite.

Deadpool's Tim Miller is here dropping f-bombs to talk about how he and his lov🥃e video games. 15 episodes, created in collaboration with Amazon Studios and publishers and developers of some of the greatest games. He is really getting choked up on sꦛtage here.

Amazon's Prime Video release date is December 10! You might recall this was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:repor🍌ted ahead of Gamescom Opening Night Live, with sources claiming it'd be revealed exactly where 𝕴it is.

...is that Mega Man? That looked like Mega Man.

Age of Mythology Retold trailer follows Secret Level. Sure looks like Age of Mythology Retold! A♛nd now on to Towerborne.

...and now we're off of ℱTowerborne and onto a brown-colored shooter from Timi Studio Group. There's an alligator in the footage here for some reason, but otherwise this looks quite a bit like every Battlefie🤡ld I've played for the last 10 years.

Ah, Delta Force. I see. Of course. Coming to St🦩eam Next Fest in October ahead of Early Access later this year.

And we've on to Kingdom Come Delivera✃nce 2! Lots of wielding power and influence, trying to recruit folks. Sure looks like Kingdom Come Deliverance, but a sequel. A surprising amount of riding horses in this footage, I must say.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 🔯2 gameplay premiere tomorrow, August 21. Release date on February 11, 2025.

Zenless Zone Zero showing off a new area and characters. The game continues to look incredible. I just wish I enjoyed playing it more, but hey, at least Hoy🏅overse doesn't own every last waking moment of mine. The characters! The backgrounds! Serious style.

And now, more Hoyoverse! Honkai Star Rail showing some stuf🌟f and apparently there'✃s a Fate Stay Night crossover coming in Q3 2025? Nice. (I do like and play this one, so I've been attacked.)

Batman Arkham Shadow, the VR game in the Arkhamverse, is here! First look at gameplay from devel🍸oper Camouflaj. It does genuinely look like first-person Batman Arkham, so at least there's that. (RIP Kevin Conroy.)

Oh hey, it's Ratcatcher. October 2024 release. Everything but the actual HUD looks pretty solid. I've been burned by VR bef🦄ore, however.

And now, a new look at Little Nightmares 3 from Bandai Namco. Sure looks like a horror puzzler to me. It Takes Two, but make it terrifying. Given that vibe seems to be the Little Nightmares franchise's bread and butter, feels liღke maybe this is doing something right.

Developers of Far and publishers of Firewatch are up now with... something. I don't know. It looks a🐼 bit like Where the Wild Things Are but as a sh🎶epherd. Herdling is coming 2025.

Oh no. Oh no no no.

Peter Molyneux has just been welcomed to the stage. "He's back,"ဣ shouts Keighl🔯ey.

Molyneux is talking about taking bits and pieces fro𝔍m classics like Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Fable. World premiere of his next thing, Masters of Albion. Te💟am of 20 working on this.

Speaking of taking bits from the classics, looks like the major🅺 as✅pect is to build cities and design everything from the clothing they where to the food they eat. "I can even feed them rats," the in-game footage trailer says. Cool.

At nigꦛht, the monsters of Albion attack. You can actually swap from God Mode to a Third-Person Mode in order to get into the thick of things or sw𒈔ap back to unleash deadly powers.

Back during the day, Pete makes a bread sword because why not. But you don't have to be that silly. You can wishlist now on Steam.

And now, a Squid Game game that looks a lot like mur♓der Fall Guys. The art style is pretty neat, at least.

Squid Game Unleashed is coming soon. Neat. I will plဣay 🦩that.

Yen from Netflix's The Witcher is here as part of what looks to be Unknown 9, which I struggle t💮o describe except it looks a little bit Forspoken, a little bit Warfram🌠e, and a lot of magical shenanigans.

Blizzard is here to talk about things! Johanna Faries, president, is talking about Warcraft milestones aꦿnd such. World of Warcraft: The War Within glo🅠bal launch is August 26.

In-game events for Warcra🅷ft 30 with cool rewards and "creative ways" to celebrate Azeroth together. Newly announced Warcraft Direct on the way. "Nice surprise๊s" coming to other Blizzard games. Faries shouts out the Overwatch 2 team with a collab in September.

Syl✨vanas skin for Widowmaker coming to Overwatch 2. Al🍎l right. OK.

No𒐪w we're talking Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred. Looking at new mercenary companions. That's🙈 more like it.

...one of th🔥em can turn into a demon of sorts? Why bother showing me any of the others, Blizzard. We both know where m𒆙y loyalties lie. The Pale Hand is apparently the name of the group of four, though.

Brent Gibson, 🦋game director of Diab🧜lo 4 Vessel of Hatred, takes the stage.

"We are hard at work adding n🌠ews to play, and new ways to grow in power -- like mercenaries," says Gibson. The team is also adding a new multilayered dungeon in addition to a co-op PvE dungeon. That... just sounds like an MMO raid? Isn't that an MMO raid?

The 🦂First Berserker: Khazan is up now. It is a third-person action RPG,𒊎 seems like. Some stylized art goes a long way here, though the trailer makes combat look a little stiff. Code Vein but with a berserker? All right.

I blinked, argued about Keanu Reeve𓂃s, and missed Ara, I think. And now we're already onto Dark and Darker Mobile. The trailer here makes it out to be a lot more goofy than I understood that game to be.

Animal Crജossing-like on a floating rock? Where do I sign up,✨ Floatopia?

All this really needs is a Sanrio collab and𒁏 my entirely family will play absolutely nothing else. How dare you, NetEasꦆe. How dare you.

It's finally ♚time: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is up Troy Baker talks ꦚabout playing Indy. He says it's humbling to take on the role and that it's a dream come true. "A dream that I cannot wait for you to live yourself," says Baker.

Baker walks us through puzzles, whipping things, punching Nazis. You know, Indiana Jones stuff. The Great Circle covers the globe, it sounds like. But the fact that you have a little journal with extra details and a came𒀰ra to take photographs is what's actually selling me.

"Hold on to🍌 your hat," says Baker after talking about how he can't wait for people to play it. Release date reveal!

Indiana Jones and t🧸he Great Circle on December 9, 2024 for Xbox Series X/S and PC, Spring 2025 for PS5. Good on them.

One final reveal here at ONL. Assassi🐭n's Creed? Something else?

Nope! Mafia: The Old Country. More coming this December. It's a story set in 1900s Sicily during the origins of Mafia. Not much actually revealed about what 🌳to expect there.

And that's it! It's over! What are you all still doing h🌄ere?
