This year’s Gamescom just kicked off with another Opening Night Live showcase hosted by Geoff Keighley. We knew a few games that would be making an appearance in advance, like Final Fantasy VII Revelation and the new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but those two games cannot fill a two-hour show, so there was a lot more to see. If you didn’t get a chance to watch the show live, you can watch the VOD below, or keep scrolling for all the highlights.
Kicking things off is a new dark fantasy game from Genshin Impact developer Hoyoverse called Nodusfall. If you’re looking for the company’s typical anime-inspired gacha game, you will not find it here. Instead, you get something that looks similar to a FromSoftware game. The game will feature cooperative play in which groups of four coordinate to take down powerful monsters.
Ubisoft is up next with a new entry in the Rainbow Six series, but instead of a shooter, it’s a tactical game similar to XCOM. You can make up a squad of returning Rainbow Six operators, then carefully plan and execute their infiltration into enemy territory. The game will launch next year.
” Almost as if that might’ve been part of the deal to get the game on stage as Xbox tries to rebrand as a company that cares about exclusives. Anyway, the story trailer shows what definitely looks like a Gears of War prequel. Buff people be yelling. Oh damn, aged-down Marcus Fenix is kind of uncanny.
