Gamescom 2022 will be a live event after two virtual only releases. It will officially start on August 24 and end on August 28, 2022. The curiosity to find out if the epidemic years have left behind is really great, it must be said strictly that we are not from a media standpoint. facing a real rebirth. , but given the poverty of conferences and miscellaneous events, this is still a first step away from the maximum glory that live events (the last one in 2019) have reached. It will basically just be an Xbox event consisting of Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live and major news unanticipated streams and interviews, currently tasked with the rep/collector of triple A industry announcements. ads. Something will surely come up, probably worth a look at existing games, but not many new ones. Microsoft itself didn’t put too much emphasis on announcing its presence; this means it’s a way to showcase some of the games coming to Xbox in the coming months rather than an actual event. The games of Xbox Games Studios, whose existence has been verified by Microsoft, are as follows: Age of Empires 4, Pentiment, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Grounded and Sea of Thieves. There will also be third parties like Lies of P, Disney Dreamlight Valley, A Plague Tale Requiem, Inkulinati, The Last Case of Benedict Fox and Lightyear Frontier.
Finally, Team 17 will be the Future Games Show, which will feature more than fifty games, including medium and small productions such as 505 Games, Prime Matter, and Ravenscourt. The only games confirmed are the German edition of Supermassive Games’ The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me and Awsome Indie. We’ll see which small and large pearls they recommend.
In short, the Gamescom of conferences, which was expected almost until E3, is no longer a souvenir, a pandemic or a pandemic. There will obviously be some big publishers like Ubisoft who should bring Skulls & Bones and perhaps return to show off the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Assassin’s Creed has already announced an event in September so we’re pretty sure it’ll be zero. imagine) and THQ Nordic, which will offer a diverse roster, but Sony and Nintendo in particular, as well as Activision Blizzard and Take-Two Interactive will also have major shortcomings. It seems that not many people see Gamescom as an interesting showcase to showcase their upcoming games. Of those present, we will talk about it in a special private conversation.
