Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 What to Hope for from Gaming's Big Start
Gamescom 2025 is about to start, and as always, it will kick off with Opening Night Live (ONL), a big show run by Geoff Keighley. This show will have a mix of sure big games, updates we've been waiting for, and some possible surprises.
Big Games on Show
Geoff Keighley has said that a few big games will be seen at the show, with a good list of new titles. Here's what to look for:
Updates and Buzz to Keep an Eye On
Apart from the confirmed games, there are more big news that we think or hope to hear about at the event, which might grab the spotlight.
- Hollow Knight Silksong: This could be a big part of the show for many, as fans may get a fixed date after a long wait.
- ROG Xbox Ally: The new handheld will have its launch date shared at the ONL show. People at the event can also try it out.
More than Games
Opening Night Live will also look at things beyond games. There will be new info on the second run of the Fallout TV show, set to start in December 2025. They might give out a specific launch day.
What Not to Wait For
To set the right hopes, Embark Studios has clearly said its new shooter, ARC Raiders, won't be at the Gamescom this year.
How to See Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025
