But what’s actually going to be on show? Well, for starters, there are some belting hosts to guide you through the whole thing: Alex McKenna (Sadie Adler inRed Dead Redemption 2) and Ned Luke (Michael De Santa inGrand Theft Auto5) will be steering the ship.
The Future Games Show at Gamescom will contain and cover a whole host of games across PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. In total, more than 50 titles from the likes of 2K, Tripwire Presents, Plaion, Nacon, and Rebellion will be present - but that’s not all. On top of that, there’s also going to be an exclusive look at the second season ofAmazon’sThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Do you want to hear about specific games? Well, we can tip you off about those too. Personally, I’m really excited about seeing more ofCivilization 7andGreedfall 2during the show. The former will have some deep-dive interview coverage from Firaxis Games, while the latter will unveil more about the mysteries of the game’s world, one that’s steeped in magic, lost secrets, and wild and exotic creatures.
Elsewhere, and as well as new games being announced, the show is confirmed to featureCaravan SandWitch,PVKK,The Explorator,SPINE,Bionic Bay, andPhantom Line.
Beyond that, there are going to be some returning segments such as the ‘Indie Elevator Pitch’, where developers give quickfire pitches of their games, and the ‘Ones to Watch’ section, where the Future Games Show editorial team reveals what they are most excited about. Even after the main show ends, there’s more! The official post-show broadcast, the Future Games Show Expansion Pack, will air directly after and feature developer interviews, special guests, and some more surprises.
