Conferences at Gamescom 2019
We’ll also be livestreaming Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night showcase on August 19 at 8 p.m. CEST/11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET, which promises to reveal tons of news that we’ll be writing about all day. While we don’t have too many specifics from that show just yet, we do know Death Stranding’s
Hideo Kojima will be in attendance, while 2K, Activision, EA, Square Enix, Xbox, and many more are set to be included in the show.
Google has also confirmed a Stadia Connect press conference for Gamescom, which will precede the Opening Night live press conference. The last Stadia Connect was held during E3 2019, and revealed Stadia’s price, launch window, and launch games.
Games to Expect at Gamescom 2019
Given the presence of a Stadia press conference, expect to see more of the announced games coming to Google’s streaming platform, though we’ll have to wait for the show itself for specifics.
And as mentioned previously, Kojima will be on hand to present a new look at Death Stranding, which is being released on November 8, 2019 for PlayStation 4. We last saw Death Stranding at Comic-Con 2019, but you can check out everything we know about Death Stranding to catch up on everything revealed so far.
Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have also confirmed Marvel’s Avengers will be playable at Gamescom this year, with the Marvel’s Avengers full gameplay demo set to be released publicly after Gamescom. And Nintendo of Europe has previously confirmed it plans to bring Luigi’s Mansion 3, Pokemon: Sword and Pokemon: Shield, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and much more to be playable at its booth in the showfloor.
