Gamescom will hold an opening presentation on August 22

Gamescom will hold an Opening Night Live presentation on Tuesday, August 22, which will serve as the kick-off to the Gamescom trade fair in Cologne. The gaming event will be broadcast live and hosted by gaming journalist and presenter Geoff Keighley.

Gamescom Opening Night Gaming Live will be broadcast from the Koelnmesse exhibition center in Cologne on August 22, Keighley writes on Twitter. The game journalist says he will broadcast live gaming news during the presentation, but does not share any further details. Keighley also does not mention a specific time. Last year’s opening show started at 8pm and lasted about two hours.

Opening presentations have been part of gamescom since 2019. During the presentation, new games will be announced and trailers and release dates of previously announced games will be shown. Last year, the PlayStation DualSense Edge and release dates for Hogwarts Legacy, Sonic Frontiers, New Tales from the Borderlands and Return to Monkey Island were announced during the Opening Night Live presentation.
