Summer is nearly at its end, which means that Gamescom 2025 is finally upon us. The world’s largest video game convention takes place annually in Cologne, Germany, and is often a home for many major new video game reveals and trailers. Generally speaking, most of the biggest announcements tend to happen at Gamescom Opening Night Live, which is the event that kicks off the convention and is hosted by none other than Geoff Keighley. The 2025 edition of Gamescom ONL is set to transpire today, August 19th, and will be streamed live across YouTube and Twitch.
Ahead of Gamescom Opening Night Live beginning, we actually know what some of the biggest reveals at the show will be. Keighley has already confirmed in advance of the broadcast that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Resident Evil Requiem, and World of Warcraft: Midnight will get new trailers. In addition, a new glimpse of Fallout Season 2 will also be appearing in advance of the TV show’s return on Prime Video later this fall. All of this, plus some unexpected surprises, are said to be shown off throughout the duration of Gamescom ONL.
If you’d prefer not to watch the entirety of Gamescom Opening Night Live, though, and would instead like to get a quick glimpse of all of the event’s biggest pieces of news, then we’ve got it all here for you. We will be updating this article throughout the Gamescom ONL broadcast as these announcements happen.
