Gamescom 2022 dates, where to watch, what to expect, and more

Gamescom 2022 will be taking place in August, live in Germany, and with it will come a wealth of amazing video game previews and reveals. According to Geoff Keighley on Twitter, 30+ world premiere announcements will take place during the “Gamescom Opening Night Live,” which is a bold move.

Not everyone can head to Cologne, Germany, to head to the event in person, so thankfully, it will be livestreamed on the official Game Awards social media accounts. That way, nobody has to miss out on all of the game reveals, trailers, and interviews.

Several major publishers and developers are scheduled to be at the event itself. Xbox, Ubisoft, SEGA, 2K, Warner Bros., and Bandai Namco are among the names that will be at the event. While not every company has revealed its hands yet, Xbox certainly has. In a recent news post, the company discussed what their fans could expect at Gamescom 2022.

The Future Games Show is suggested to have 50 different games from a wealth of developers, including Team 17, 505 Games, Prime Matter, and many more. The above trailer teases quite a few interesting titles for fans as well.

Xbox did not reveal everything for Xbox Booth Live, but they did say that several games will feature interviews and gameplay to excite their fans. Age of Empires IV, Minecraft Legends, Sea of Thieves, and A Plague Tale: Requiem will be featured during the event.

Another popular event is the Awesome Indies Show, which will undoubtedly continue to feature exclusive trailers and gameplay for many upcoming indie titles. It’s one of the most exciting parts of the event, and fans can look forward to some big reveals.

Thankfully, viewers won’t have to wait very long since Gamescom 2022 will begin on August 23, 2022, for the Opening Night Live and run through till August 28. Huge video game news will no doubt drop that week, so make sure to stay tuned to Sportskeeda for all of the breaking reveals.
