So, I'm going to be doing a little bit of a walkthrough of the new version of the game. the

the the so so So so So You You Hello and welcome to the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 pre-show. I'm Kyle Bossman.

The main show, Opening Night Live. The one with with black ops 7 and Resident Evil Requiem hosted by Jeff Keighley That's soon, but not yet This is the waiting room and the secret about the O&L pre-show is that it's good itself We've got an absurd amount of trailers and reveals and premieres right here in the lead-up So let's not waste another microsecond. Here's a brand new game reveal.

Yo! Remember me? Your old pal Bubsy? From all those classic games you loved.

Was it something I said?

What could possibly go wrong?

Forget about that. Let's talk about the new one. Bubsy's 4D! Now this I like. So, where we going next?

Don't mind if I do.

Sike! They call me the Orange Blur. Do any of these outfits come with pants? They call me the Orange Blur! Do any of these outfits come with pants? You know I've only got one brain cell, right? And it's working overtime on this baby.

Atari?

I didn't even know they were still around!

The first game I ever played on my PlayStation 29 years ago was Bubsy 3D. If you told me back then that one day I would be introducing Bubsy 4D to the world, I'd say, yeah, that sounds about right.

Now let's keep this pre-show poppin'. Here's another brand new game announcement. The sun is setting The moon is rising

The sun is setting Oh You're watching the Gamescom Opening Night Live pre-show, which will basically be me teeing up wall-to-wall trailers in the time before the main event. We do have an interview coming up with the project lead of Double Fine's Keeper. For now, here's a trailer for a LucasArts classic remastered by Night Dive Studios. Where are you, Margo?

You afraid to die and kill? Keep that feeling. Get him, Boomer!

A sublime city arising. A city that has my name on it.

It's gonna take more than bullets to get what you want, mister.

Once a lawman, always a lawman.

If you thought maybe I was exaggerating a little bit when I said this pre-show is filled with exciting and really good trailers because it's my job, normally you'd be right. However, sometimes a trailer is actually just unmistakably exciting and really good. Like this one. I'm not sure if I can do this. This is the first time I've seen a boss fight with a single enemy.

I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of enemies or the lack of time. I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of enemies or the lack of time. I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of enemies or the lack of time.

I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of enemies or the lack of time. In this year's Xbox Showcase, Double Fine announced their first new game since Psychonauts 2. It's called Keeper, and joining us tonight in a recently pre-recorded interview is The Game's Project lead, Lee Petty.

Hi, everyone.

Thanks. Thanks for having me. I'm so excited to have you here. So you showed a first look at gameplay of Keeper. The game itself is about the lighthouse, but also the bird as well, right? This duo.

And I'm curious about whether that was conceptualized first as like imagery, like it sounds like a cool idea, or if that was conceptualized first from like a gameplay standpoint.

I always think about the total experience more than say mechanics and art and story. A lot of the game is about, you know, this lighthouse waking up after eons of lying dormant and learning to walk. And the bird is part of that, right?

So the bird and the lighthouse are perfect companions because they're different. At the same time, the bird is wary of dark spaces and there's a malevolent presence around the island that the lighthouse can keep at bay. So together, those two set out on this tale and their abilities complement each other. But also, the bird becomes, I think, kind of the emotional heart of the game.

You have an extensive background as an art director, right? I think that's apparent when anybody just looks at Keeper for the first time. So I'm curious about your inspirations.

You know, there's so many inspirations for Keeper. And one of the ones that really stuck out was the Dark Crystal. I saw it as a kid and it was really inspiring to me because it felt like such a different take on a fantasy world that I hadn't seen before. And it was beautiful, but also a bit tragic. It was scary at times, but also really playful and fun. Do the bird and the lighthouse have names?

Yeah, well, at least the bird does. And we call the bird Twig internally because she has a beak that is made of driftwood.

But for now, the lighthouse is simply the lighthouse.

It's just simply the lighthouse, yeah.

Lee, thank you so much for joining us here in the pre-show. When will people be able to play Keeper?

On October 17th this year, which is coming up really soon, and we can't wait for people to get in there

and experience our strange, beautiful world for themselves.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Thank you.

Well, that was a great interview. And if you thought this pre-show couldn't get any more masculine, buddy, watch this.

At last, Castle Grayskull is mine!

Not so fast, Skeletor.

Whoa, what's happening?

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Dragon Pearl of Destruction coming soon to all platforms?

Yes, it's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Dragon Pearl of Destruction coming soon to all platforms? Yes, it's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Dragon Pearl of Destruction, intense beat-em-up action that puts the power in your hands. Grab a friend and fight for Eternia with four playable heroes. Classic arcade controls, it's powered-up pixel perfection for your gaming console or personal computer.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Dragon Pearl of Destruction, coming soon from Limited Run Games.

Thanks for joining us here at the opening night live pre-show. We're only about halfway through, it's a sufficiently chunked up show. And just to prove my point, here's a new trailer for Absalom. Oh, no! No! No! No! No!

No! No! No!

No! No! No! No! No! October 9th, that's a release date reveal. And I think Frogmage revealed too, that was cool. Now if you'd like to take a break at this moment, maybe grab a water and some snacks, I really can't recommend it. Here's a brand new look at Long Gone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not a monster. I'm a human. I'm a monster. I'm a monster. I'm a monster.

I'm a monster.

I'm a monster. I'm a monster. uh

uh Oh Sometimes, frankly, I'm impressed by the amount of nice worldwide reveals they book for this show. Here's another one! ♪♪

♪♪ Mr. Holmes? I've got it! I'm going to kill you. I ♪♪

♪♪ So it's my sworn duty as pre-show host to make people excited about Gamescom opening night live. Thing is, you can't just tell someone to be excited. You can't just say y'all excited and expect people to start clapping. You have to give them a reason to be excited. So here they are, the top 10 reasons to be excited for Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025. Number 10.

Hearing people make noise when someone asks if they're excited. Number 9. A new trailer from The Outer Worlds 2. Number 8. The emotional adventure of seeing a new game for the first time and not knowing if it's free to play or not until the end of the trailer.

It's anyone's guess these days. Number 7. Ninja Gaiden 4 is showing up, and every time there's an Izuna drop, someone in the audience always goes, YEAH! Number 6. Someone in the audience always goes, yeah! Number six, knowing there's no silk song, understanding there's no silk song,

but still thinking, what if there is silk song? Number five, Ghost of Yotei is in this? This PlayStation just had a 19 minute gameplay blowout. You have to wonder what they've been saving for gamescom. Is that Wolf gonna do something crazy? Number four. Silent Hill F going full freak mode. Number three. Watching game designers develop their public speaking skills in

real time. Number two. The worldwide reveal of Call of Duty Black Ops 7. Now you might be saying, didn't that already happen a couple of months ago? No, no, no, no. That was the teaser.

This is the worldwide reveal. And the number one reason to be excited about Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, Resident Evil Requiem. So they just announced this at Summer Game Fest, and then they said, see you at Gamescom.

Well, look at the time. It's Gamescom. Or it will be in a matter of minutes. You're still in the pre-show. But how about a new look at,

phew,

Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant.

♪♪ Good morning, Commando. unknown in common dot. Glad to see you've not lost your touch. Multiple Separatist vessels approach.

They wish to eliminate this facility.

Destroy them before they do. The days fly by when you love what you do.

Welcome again to the Gamescom opening night live pre-show. If you're just joining us, there's still plenty of time to enjoy some bonus video game trailers before the big show begins. Here's a freaky one. I'm not sure what I'm going to be able to get out of here alive. Interesting fact about that game, they actually created that whole environment by 3D scanning the entire bathroom of Jeff Keighley's mansion. Now, we've got three more videos and not a lot of time left before O&L begins, so next up, two trailers back to back. I have watched over this city for ages, and every name in your scroll of death.

Not one of them dies quietly.

You are soulless, absolute.

You can judge my fate!

Why wrestle rogues when their artifacts can do what rogues cannot? I'm doing what it looks like a hell lot. What? The soulless husk! The living cast their debt to play, and sacrifice ignites the war-brand axe! There we go again! I'm not going to die! I'm not going to die! I'm not going to die!

I'm not going to die!

I'm not going to die! Sacrifice ignites the war-banner! There we go again. If you know not life, how can you know death? We're going to the beach. You'll see me riding when the new wind blows I'll bring that heat I'm riding night and day Oh, night and day Ain't got no monster Ain't got no king

I'm riding night and day you know behind you won't hold out XTC logistics they said you were coming take care now you hear let's get it done I'm a monster! I'm gonna show you! Deacon, you good out there? Deacon!

I'll give you a moment to catch your breath after that. But to be honest with you, that was not the last king of the road you're gonna see in this pre-show. I've got one more trailer for you. A brand new reveal for Sonic Racing Crossworlds. This is the first time I've seen a boss fight with a single enemy. And And that concludes another 10 out of 10 pre-show. Up next, Black Ops 7?

Ghost of Yotei? Silent Hill F? Resident Evil Requiem? Even more apparently? It is time for Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025. Thanks for watching. ♪♪

Please welcome your host, the creator of the Game Awards,

Jeff Keeeley! Cheers! Music Music Music You guys ready? Cheers!

Music Good evening! Welcome to Gamescom! Beginn des Eulch! world right here in Cologne, Germany. We've got over 5,000 fans in the hall here at COMMESSE tonight. Welcome everybody! And by the end of the week, more than 300,000 people will walk the show floor, which for the first time has more than 1,500 exhibitors. It turns out that E3 didn't die, it just moved right here to Germany.

Clever ideas from small teams are breaking through in huge ways. This summer, Peak, a co-op climbing game created by AgroCrab and Landfall Games, stormed the charts on Steam, and right now I can announce for the first time it has sold over 10 million copies to date.

Congratulations to the team. And there's also other fun ones, like you guys have probably played Date Everything, a wild dating sim where you can romance a treadmill or a curtain. It's on Steam right now. Check it out. It's sold an estimated half a million copies.

All these successes prove something important. Small teams with big ideas can change the industry. And that brings us to one game made by a handful of developers in Australia. For six years Team Cherry has been crafting Hollow Knight Silksong. It is highly anticipated and Steam's most wish-listed game. Well tonight I can finally, definitively tell you that Silksong is 100% actually launching this year.

And behind me, you're seeing some brand-new Silksong gameplay, the first extended look since the last trailer in 2022. And starting tomorrow, you guys here at Gamescom can play a demo at the Nintendo and Xbox booths. There you go. Silksong is real. And on Thursday, Team Cherry is going to be sharing some news as part of a YouTube premiere

on their channel, so make sure to check that out. Tonight, we'll give you a first look at this holiday's biggest games, like Call of Duty Black Ops 7 and Ghost of Yotei, plus major news on Prime Video's Fallout Season 2, arriving in December.

And later, we'll have a special performance of the music of Claire Obscure Expedition 33, one of this year's most celebrated games, developed right here in Europe. Plus, a brand new look at Resident Evil Requiem from Capcom, and the world premiere of the opening cinematic from World of Warcraft Midnight from Blizzard.

Now, as always, O&L is also about surprises and we do have multiple brand new AAA game announcements and reveals over the next two hours so stick around right until the end. This is our biggest opening night live we've ever done so let's not waste another second. It all begins with this.

It brings me such satisfaction to see you here. A witness to my work. You will know fear.

They want you afraid. Fear makes you easier to control.

It's time to wake up.

Your streets shall once again run red with your blood.

Behold Menendez, igniting global unrest on an unprecedented scale.

Menendez is a terrorist. We're bringing peace and security to the world.

He refuses to let me go.

Stop looking backwards, David.

What matters is what you do next.

A lot of people counting on us for answers. I'll be your master. Control me faster. I'll be your master. Control me faster. I'll be your master. This isn't real. The hell it ain't! ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪

♪♪ ♪♪

Pull it together, man!

So eager to leave, Daddy.

Killing a man is a hell of a lot easier than killing the idea.

♪♪ You were never cut out to be a Mason. Killing a man is a hell of a lot easier than killing the idea. You were never cut out to be a Mason. No more games. This ends now.

Get the Reznov Challenge Pack when you pre-order now. How about that? Zombies, of course, Dead Ops Arcade as well, and it looks like we also have an official date. Call of Duty Black Ops 7 releases on November 14th. And to tell us more, please welcome Miles Leslie from Treyarch and Natalie Pohorsky from Raven to opening night live. We're going to be talking about the new game, which is called, The End of the Line. And we're going to be talking about

how to play it. So, let's get into it. We're going to be talking about how to play it. We're going to be talking about how to play it.

We're going to be talking about how to play it. We're going to be talking about

how to play it. Miles and Natalie at Opening Night Live. Thanks for having us. We're very excited to finally talk about this game.

Yeah, excited. Let's get into it.

All right, well, that trailer was obviously intense. Black Ops is back. A twisted world of Black Ops as always. It looks like you're definitely pushing the envelope again.

Absolutely, Jeff. It's been a long road, and we're thrilled to finally be sharing what we've been building. Black Ops 7's got a bold vision of the future. We're diving into 2035, and it's a future that feels real, just out of reach, but it's twisted in only the ways Black Ops could.

And, you know, you come to expect what you got there. It's a world of fear. The shadows are gone. Nothing is what it seems.

Yeah, 20 2035 settings, so the question is, you know, we were wondering, how does Menendez, how does this all fit into the Black Ops timeline? Yeah, so we're pulling threads from Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6, but don't worry, don't get it twisted. This is a beast of its own, Black Ops 7.

We're stepping into a world spiraling from the return of Raul Menendez and the consequences of the past. All right, well, I'm curious who the protagonist is so you can tell us who's stepping into the light in this game.

Yeah, David Mason returns, but he is not the same. He's carrying deep scars. Some you can see, some you can't. And he's got a new team with him,

and every mission, every move is a test. Now what makes the story stand apart?

Yeah, we're also introducing the Guild. Yes. Important to mention a global tech force that claims to be humanity's last line of defense against this mysterious threat and their CEO Emma Kagan is a visionary leader with a clear mission but how she chooses to confront this crisis is often at odds with David and his team. So it's not a battle of good versus evil, it's a clash of philosophies.

What kind of future are we building and who gets to decide?

All right, so some deep thoughts there. So yeah, tell us about how does this story stand apart this time?

It's the characters. So the story is about identity, memory, and consequence. We've crafted this cast like pieces of a puzzle. So each one has a reason to be there, and each one brings something unique to the table. We've also got our central city of Avalon,

which is more than just a backdrop. It's a living, breathing space that evolves with the player, and it's also where our story roots take hold.

Alright, well one thing we want to talk about is gameplay, and I understand you're doing a co-op campaign for this one? That's right. From the start, we wanted to make a bold change with the campaign. Black Ops 7 can be played solo or up to four players. It's a shared experience, and every mission has been handcrafted for variety. Tone, pacing, gameplay location.

You're gonna be running on the rooftops of Japan, exploring the Mediterranean coast, and then diving deep into the human psyche. All of it has been crafted to really add clues

to the story and offer their own gameplay focus. Wow, so wild story, co-op campaign, you are definitely pushing boundaries this time.

Yes, we are. Black Ops 7 is all about innovation across the entire game, and not just in gameplay, but in how we tell stories, how we connect players, and how we build worlds. And this is just the beginning. There's more to come at Call of Duty Next,

including multiplayer and zombies. But for now, we hope you guys are excited to step into something new and experience something truly unforgettable.

Amazing. All right. Call of Duty Black Ops 7, thanks so much, guys. And now, here's a behind-the-scenes look from the rest of the Call of Duty development team. Thanks, guys.

Black Ops 7 behind-the-scenes look from the rest of the Call of Duty development team. Thanks, guys. CO-OP CO-OP CO-OP

Black Ops 7 brings an all-new way to play the Call of Duty campaign. This time, you're not going in alone. You have the option this year to play solo or up to a four-player co-op start to finish. You can bring your friends, you can make some new ones, and there's a whole bunch of adventure even after the story.

For solo players, we really make sure that they can engage in the campaign the way they want to and feel like they're truly playing a Black Ops story.

What's going to be fun is having each player in your squad gravitate towards their own play style and then really playing off of each other. We've crafted this as an inherently social mode that features the amazing linear Call of Duty missions that our community loves.

Mission variety is at the core of the Black Ops 7 campaign. The pacing shifts between high-intensity combat, stealth-driven objectives, and deeply psychological sequences that challenge your perception of reality. Avalon serves as the narrative's anchor throughout,

but the campaign stretches far beyond its borders,

both geographically and thematically.

It's dynamic and full of opportunities to explore,

experiment, and experience the story in new ways.

And in the culmination of the co-op campaign, we're unleashing something bold, the endgame. It's a proving ground to put everything you've mastered throughout the campaign to the test. The endgame is a brand new PvE social experience where you and your squad will need to survive

overwhelming odds, adapt under pressure, and break the rules of what you thought a campaign

could be.

Each run is a new step in your power journey as you wield personalized abilities and face unexpected challenges.

And here, all of Avalon opens up.

It gives us a lot of freedom to have some fun with the gameplay mechanics,

player movement, players really can turn the map into their playground.

This is your chance to explore the world beyond the mission. That's just a quick look at what's to come with the campaign. Every mode of this game is built with the intention to deliver the best possible experience to our players. So whether you're a Call of Duty veteran or new blood, there's something for you in Black Ops 7, make sure to watch the full-length Black Ops 7 Direct

and tune in to Call of Duty Next on September 30th. Still to come, we'll have news on Fallout Season 2 and the announcement of a brand new game from adventure game legend Ron Gilbert. I grew up playing his games, and I can't wait to show you his next unexpected creation a little bit later.

All right, who's ready for our first brand new game announcer of the night? I figured you'd feel that way. Well, to do the honors, please welcome back to O&L one of the most respected and recognizable hosts in eSports. She's my co-host, Shox. Shocks! Hi everyone, thank you so much Jeff.

It is so great to be back here at Gamescom and ONL. I just had so much fun last year that I had to run it back. And let me just say we have an unbelievable show for you tonight. And now without further ado, it's time for our first new game announcement at ONL.

Please enjoy.

Our gods have forsaken us for fear of the coming darkness consumes all. All but you, lampbearer. Something stirs within you.

Something ancient, powerful, hungry. Powerful. Hungry. So I ask you, will you harness this darkness within and deliver unto us so-called lords Retribution! But should you fall, the world falls with you. Lords of the Fallen, you are the true warriors of the Fallen 2.

Wishlist now.

Wishlist now.

All right, Lords of the Fallen 2 is official set a hundred years after the last game as a fragile veil between the living and the dead begins to tear. CI Games promises a sequel that's bloodier, faster, and more brutal than ever. With more aggressive combat and new boss battles, your first look at gameplay will arrive later this year. All right, now for something completely different.

This next game won Game of the Year at the Game Awards and comes from one of the most celebrated studios on the planet. Next year, it's making the leap to become a major anime. And tonight, we're breaking the news with your exclusive first look.

A road where no one is.

A road with no destination.

Long time no see.

Arkane! I'm not done yet! I'm not done yet! I'm not done yet! I'm not done yet! I'm not done yet! I'm not done yet! I'm not done yet! I'm not done yet! I'm not done yet! ♪♪ ♪♪

-♪♪

Looks awesome. All right, we're just getting started. Our next new game announcement stars a hero who needs no introduction.

A true legend of justice and gadgets. I need to become more than a man. I need to become a symbol. What did you have in mind? Who are you? I'm Batman. Why so serious?

You wanna get nuts?

Let's get nuts.

I'm allergic to nuts.

Who's the man behind the mask? I got you! Oh, you think darkness is your ally?

You merely adopted the dark.

I was born in it, molded by...

Ah!

Who put that there? I could have really hurt myself.

The Bat is back. Please welcome the head of LEGO Batman development team, Jonathan Smith. Jonathan, welcome to ONL. All right, so after the huge success with LEGO Star Wars,

you guys are returning to LEGO Batman? We are so thrilled to reveal this game tonight for the first time to you all and to the world. And that's not all. At Gamescom, you will be able to play LEGO Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight.

Wow. Wow.

Pretty amazing. All right, well, there will be a demo on the show floor for everyone. Now, let's break down that trailer, because we see so many fan-favorite references, you know, to films and things like that. So, what is the story of this game?

This is the definitive, essential Batman story. We take you on Bruce Wayne's epic journey from origin to legend. You'll train with the League of Shadows. You'll fight crime on the streets of Gotham. And as the years go by,

you'll establish your ultimate legacy as the Dark Knight. We've incorporated iconic moments and deep-cut references from decades of Batman movies, TV shows, comics, and games, all brought together and brought to life in our unique LEGO world.

Well, we could not wait for it. Let's also talk about the combat, because we've got some real gameplay here of the combat. And I've got to say, it feels like you're really amping things up here this time.

Oh, the team has created a really rich, deep combat system that's authentic to Batman's unique style. So, surrounded by enemies, you'll pull off powerful attacks, counters and takedowns. You'll use cool gadgets like Batarangs to stun enemies and the Batclaw to reel them in. For the first time, we've added difficulty levels, Caped

Crusader, and Dark Knight mode for those who want an extra challenge. And you'll build a new Bat family of allies as you're joined by playable partner characters like Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Robin, Batgirl, each with their own gear, which you'll need as you take on a rogues gallery of villains from Joker, Penguin, and many more,

including the mighty Bane, as you saw in the trailer, voiced by the incredible Matt Berry.

Oh my God, I cannot wait to see what you're packing into this game. It also looks like you have a bit of an open world Gotham. Is that fair to say?

That's right. Gotham is a playground, a Lego playground where you're free to explore. You can grapple from rooftop to rooftop, glide over the streets, or cruise around in your choice of Batmobile. This game has it all.

I think you've sold me on it. All right, I'm pretty hyped about it. It will be here playable as we mentioned for all you here in Germany. You can play Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight for the first time starting tomorrow on the Gamescom show floor.

Thank you so much, Jonathan. Awesome. All right, now over to Shots with our next new game announcement exclusively on ONL.

Thank you so much, Jeff. Indeed, I find myself here in the audience. There we go. I find myself here in the audience. Thank you so much, Jeff. And some of the best fans at ONL. So is everybody having fun? Still to come we have an amazing musical performance from Claire obscure

Expedition 33 I can hardly wait and also a new look at Resident Evil Requiem as well as a bunch of other surprises I know what you guys are excited for, I can hear it. But now it's time for a new game announcement. A long-awaited sequel that fans have been eager to see for nearly a decade.

We have fought the enemies of humanity across a thousand worlds.

No respite.

No remorse.

No mercy.

We are the wrath of the Emperor.

His angels of death. But the Imperium lies broken.

Its armies scattered and reeling.

Our foes rise to drag us down, and the galaxy has been torn asunder. On the world of Cronus we make our stand. We are the Blood Ravens.

There is no victory to claim here. Only vengeance to enact. Whilst even one of us lives, we fight.

For only in death... ...does duty end. ♪ Applause

Two centuries after the last great conflict, the battle for Kronos begins again in Dawn of War 4. With four playable factions and over 70 missions, Dawn of War 4 is coming in 2026 to PC. Alright, now it's time for an unexpected update from the Monster Hunter Wilds team about a very special crossover event. And now ♪

All right, to tell us more, it is my great honor to welcome two very special guests together on stage. Ryozo-san from Capcom and Yoshi P. from Square Enix. GAMESCOM 2019 GAMESCOM 2019 GAMESCOM 2019

GAMESCOM 2019 GAMESCOM 2019 GAMESCOM 2019

And Mana will translate for us. Well guys, it's great to have you both together here at GAMESCOM. Ryozo-san, what can you tell us about this collaboration?

Thank you, Rich. Hello to everyone in Germany. I am very happy to announce that we have announced a special collaboration with Final Fantasy XIV.

Thank you, Jeff. Good evening to everyone at Gamescom and all the friends watching online.

Today we are very excited to announce a special collaboration with Final Fantasy XIV. I was hoping to do that, and it's finally happening. The video I showed you today is just a part of it. I'll be able to give you more details next month, so please look forward to that. I'd also like to thank Yoshida-san and the staff at Square Enix for their full support.

Thank you, Yoshida-san.

Now, I would like to ask Yoshida-san and discussing how much we wanted to do it again, and now we're very thrilled to make it happen. What we showed you is just a little glimpse of what's to come, so please look out for more information that's coming next month. But of course, Yoshida-san and the Square Enix team

have been working just as hard with us on this special collaboration, so I'd like to not only thank him, but turn it over to him to share some thoughts.

Guten Tag, Gamescom! First of all, I'd like to thank Jeff-san for inviting us to this wonderful place. And also, Ryozo-san, who always gives us a lot of long, and Ryozo, who always inspires us, and the development team at Capcom. And above all, thank you to all the game fans.

Guten Tag, Gamescom. First of all, I'd like to thank Jeff for having us here, and Ryozo-san for all the inspiration, the Capcom team for working on this special collaboration, and to everyone enjoying our games. Thank you so much.

We just heard from Ryozo-san, and we were also there for Monster Hunter World. And this is the second installment. We called it a crossover with Monster Hunter Wilds and we have been working together on the content.

As Reozo-san mentioned, we worked together on Monster Hunter World and we wanted to make it happen again. And it's happening for Monster Hunter Wilds. We would call it a crossover, and we're very happy to make this happen

with all of our efforts joined together.

Of course, it's a crossover, so we have prepared special battle content for the Final Fantasy XIV side as well. Today, as you saw in the teaser trailer, we have prepared a little bit of footage from the Monster Hunter Wilds side.

Since this is a crossover collaboration, not only Monster Hunter Wilds, but Final Fantasy XIV would also be having a special collaboration content inside it. Outside of the trailer we just saw, Final Fantasy XIV has also prepared a short trailer to show you what you can get.

Wow, alright. Well, thank you so much, Ryozo-san, Yoshida-san.

Oh, Mother. Thank you.

Your sole directive is to now serve and comply. Do you comply?

No.

No. No.

No. No. No. No. No. You guys having fun so far? We got a lot of shows still coming your way. All right. Now it is time to head back into the wasteland. We're talking about the TGA award-winning Fallout series based on Bethesda's legendary RPG franchise. Season 1 earned universal praise for its tone, storytelling, and original characters, not to mention how

faithfully it brought Bethesda's game world to life. Well later this year the series returns to Prime Video for season 2. To tell us more, please welcome to O&L some very special guests. Series Executive Producer Jonathan Nolan, Executive Producer Geneva Robertson-Dorrit, and stars Ella Purnell and Aaron Moten. Hi, everybody. Great to see you all. Welcome to Cologne and Gamescom.

Jonah, you know, we've got 5,000 Fallout fans here in the hall tonight, millions more watching online, and we can't wait to hear about the new season. Yeah, we're very excited. We literally just wrapped, jumped on a plane and came out to see you guys. Gamescom is actually really kind of where it started for us, the journey on this show. Two years ago, we asked Todd Howard to come here and show the very first footage that anyone had seen anywhere of the first season.

We didn't come because we figured if the reception was negative,

we'd just blame it on Todd.

Uh...

So we're back, and given that history, it's that much more disappointing that we didn't bring any footage to show you guys.

Wow.

Well, let's talk a bit about Season 2. As we see behind us, it looks like we're headed to New Vegas, right, Janelle? Yes. Lucy and the ghoul ended last season dealing with a lot of family troubles. So we thought it would only be right to send them to the most family friendly town in the wasteland to go deal with their shit. And along the way, we're really excited to take them all

to some of our favorite locations from the game.

Oh, my God, yeah, it's such a classic game, and we're very excited to see what you have in store for us for Season 2. Ella, it's great to see you again. Thanks for coming out to Cologne.

Hello.

Last time we saw you was at Game Awards when Fallout won Best Adaptation. You were up against yourself in Arcane and you won for Fallout. Congratulations. We want to talk about Lucy's journey in Season 2. You know, how do you think her exposure to the Wasteland is going to sort of affect her Vulture sensibilities this time?

Yes. The question is, what is she going to do when she finds her dad? Is she going to bring him back to her vault and give him justice, or is she gonna give him wasteland justice, which is the ghoul's justice? I think a central question of the season is whether Lucy will transform the ghoul,

or whether the ghoul will transform Lucy, and how much they will influence each other.

Okay, I like it. Aaron, let's talk a bit about Maximus. He went through quite an evolution last season. Now that Lucy and Ghoul are heading to New Vegas, tell us about Maximus. How does he get deeper into the Brotherhood of Steel this season?

So deep.

Yes.

So deep.

Yeah, when we first met Maximus, all he wanted was to be a knight. And now, in very Fallout fashion, it's a little bit of a careful what you wisp for moment. So here he is now with this newfound status, trying to make the world a better place

and in extremely, or I guess, deeply flawed society.

Yes.

All right, well, we cannot wait to see what you guys have in store for season two. Let's talk a bit about Ghoul.

Can we expect more sort of Cooper Howard flashbacks as well in season two? Yes, absolutely. Cooper Howard and the Ghoul played by the amazing Walton Goggins definitely coming back. We have so much more to do. Obviously, we ended the last season with Cooper Howard dealing with,

I think, a very common marriage problem. What do you do when you find out your spouse is planning nuclear war? And so he's gonna figure that out and as he does he's gonna uncover a greater conspiracy with huge implications for the Wasteland.

Alright, well we'll look forward to seeing how that unravels. Now season one of course was known for amazing original characters that you guys built in the Fallout world. We thought that was so cool. But now that you're diving a little more directly into New Vegas, I think the fans here want to know, are we going to see any more direct ties

to the video game and characters' locations in this season?

We're super proud of the original story that Geneva and Graham are telling. But there was one character in particular from New Vegas that I was really excited at the possibility of seeing a little bit more from. Writers, we're no good at describing this stuff.

Maybe we should... picture's worth a thousand words? I think so.

Okay, all right.

Well, it sounds like then we might get to hear a little bit more, see a little of season two. Is that possible tonight? Well, I don. Well, it sounds like then we might get to hear a little bit more, see a little of Season 2. Is that possible tonight?

Well, I don't know, Jeff. I heard you like world premieres.

We like those, right, guys? Right, Gamescom?

Gamescom? Gamescom?

All right, Gamescom. Here's a world premiere of our teaser trailer for Season 2 of Fallout,

streaming this December on Fallout Prime Video all over the world.

Amazing. All right, let's check it out. Thanks so much, guys. Here we go.

Oh, what a great question.

What say you, Miss McClan? Why would my dad go to Las Vegas? You wanna know why the world ended? It started here, with one man.

Cooper Howard, star of The Silver Screen. Like yourself, I am the very best at what I do. And what I do is I know there's a war coming. The bombs will only be the beginning. My concern is that you would do just about anything to save your family. I think you are actually quite a violent man.

Well, here is the world gameplay premiere of John Carpenter's Toxic Commando. Next step, improvise.

This is not how a right turn works.

You see my new toy? I need some first Super fun. All right, our next reveal comes from a true legend of game design, Ron Gilbert, the mind behind Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, so many other classic games that define the golden age of point-and-click adventure games in the 80s and 90s. I loved those games growing up. Well, now Ron is back with something completely new and completely unexpected.

It's called Death by Scrolling, a roguelike, vertically-scrolling RPG set in Purgatory, where you'll battle waves of enemies, hoard gold, and do everything you can to stay one step ahead of the Grim Reaper herself.

Here's the first ever look. So Oh It's very fun. I've actually been playing this game over the past few weeks and trust me, it is dangerously addictive. The screen, as you can see, never stops moving, so you're constantly on the move, fighting to stay alive. A really fun game. Make sure to check it out. All right. Now onto a studio known for its unforgettable storytelling. Back in 2019, the groundbreaking RPG Disco Elysium took home four Game Awards. Since then,

Zaum, the studio behind it, has been through a host of changes, but tonight, six years later, those who now make up the studio are ready to give the world the very first look at their next CRPG. It's a dive into the shadowy world of espionage where the truth can be stranger than fiction and every failure isn't the end but the start of a new path.

I once knew a spy brilliant relentless Brilliant, relentless, magnetic. Her name was Herschel. Dark gold hair, a well-worn life beneath. A dandelion puff, waiting to be blown.

She tried to look out for me.

For us.

None of it mattered in the end.

Everything she touched, rippled into failure. Now, let's talk about Gamescom Cares, our platform for responsibility projects here at Gamescom that we hold very close to our hearts. This year, we are giving the stage to highlight one of the many great initiatives. It's dedicated to all the games promoting democracy. We invited a developer to learn more about it.

I'm here with Jörg Friedrich, CEO of Paint Bucket Games from Germany. Hello. Tell us about the game you made, The Darkest Files.

Hi. Thank you. In The Darkest Files. Hi, thank you. In The Darkest Files, we tell the true story of Fritz Bauer, who was persecuted by the Nazis and forced to flee Germany only to return after the war to fight them with the sharpest sword of democracy, the rule of law. It shows how quickly a constitutional state can become an unjust state

and how this leads to darkness. But it also shows that we cannot simply stand by and watch. When this happens, we must take action.

Indeed. There are other examples like your game playable here at Gamescom, such as Glass House by Flat 28 Collective from Italy, a story-rich CRPG set in a locked-down apartment block at the dawn of a world war, and Compensation Not Guaranteed by Team Project Lunch from Singapore, a document-checker thriller about a

post-colonial country from the perspective of a government official worker. So, Jeroen, can you tell us why these games are so important and so impactful?

Well, games are more than entertainment. Like any great art form, they reflect our concerns, our fears, our hopes, and what preoccupies us. Democracy is under attack right now, minority rights are being violated, and the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. So games are a powerful medium for addressing these issues, and they have the potential to inspire change. I am glad that not only are many people in the global games industry

engaging in projects like this, but also more and more institutions like the European Commission or the United Nations.

A very important message. Thank you so much, Jörg. And of course, thank you to all of the dedicated developers around the world who put so much heart and soul into those games, making the world a little better. Please check them out, everyone,

and check out all the great initiatives of Gamescom Cares. Now, we have much more Gamescom O&L to come next. It's a very special performance of the music of Claire Obscure,

I am so excited to be here to reveal our next adventure, World of Warcraft Midnight. I'm equally excited to welcome you all home with our new housing feature. If you're here at Gamescom, please come by and check it out on the show floor. We have a lot coming in this next expansion,

our 11th expansion. To start with, on the horizon there's a looming darkness and it's threatening the ancestral home of our blood elves. But midnight is also about light and about hope and about heroes who rise when the world needs them most and it's about the bonds that tie us together and it all starts at the Sunwell? With that in mind, please enjoy the premiere of our cinematic introduction to Midnight. The light guides my steps and illuminates my path. The light flows through me and by its grace am I made one with all that is sacred.

Liadrin! It has begun. I need you with me on the wall.

Gorthamar, the Void will envelop us soon.

Only the Light can save us now. No. The time for prayer has passed.

The Sunwell will not fall. Not while I draw breath. Little elves. I can see you grow weary. How much longer can you hold out? Flee and save yourselves.

Liadrin, don't.

Light be with you. You see? She understands it's hopeless.

Soon, you all will.

The Light guides my steps and illuminates my path. The Light flows through me and by its grace am I made one with all that is sacred. The Light guides my steps and illuminates my path. The light flows through...

I... I know that I deserve your help, but I know my people do. Please give them strength.

I admire your spirit, but that will not save you. Soon, I will break your world. You can't even break one elf. This darkness comes to devour everything. And when it is finished, there will be no more light.

Without your aid, we will perish.

I thank you.

Help us. ♪♪ ♪♪ -♪♪ The Sunwell will not fall!

Not while we draw breath. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, What a great cinematic. Nobody does those better than Blizzard, and I hope you guys enjoyed that. All right. Next is the global announcement of a new project from Team J, the dev team behind Delta Force. Project Spectrum is a tactical shooter for the fearless.

It is a physiological horror PvEvP game. That's right, where you battle against monsters, other players, and your own sanity as widespread anomalies twist around the world. Face the horror or become the horror itself.

Can you describe the sound in the recording?

Sorry, I...

Let's go back to the start. Oh No! The loss is too heavy for you. AHHHHH! The loss is too heavy for you. But sometimes, loss can birth beasts and bury truths. What do you think?

What if...

you are the beast. The beast? Watch out! uh Let's go back to the start.

All right, this next world premiere feels familiar, yet it is something brand new from Wargaming. And trust me, you've seen them with tanks, but you haven't seen them do anything like this before.

And it's coming to PC consoles and Steam Deck. Oh ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

Are you going to give me a life? Oh, no! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!

PlayStation. There you have it, an amazing new look at Ghost of Yotei out October 2nd for PS5 and confirmed today on O&L it's also getting a Legends Co-op multiplayer DLC in 2026 with fantastical supernatural story and survival missions all free if you own the base game. For nearly three decades Resident Evil has terrified, thrilled, and defined the survival horror genre. Now a new chapter rises from the shadows. Back in June at Summer Game Fest we gave you the first glimpse at Resident Evil Requiem and

tonight we are diving deeper with a brand new look that explores the haunting backstory of the game's protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, and why she may be the key to surviving what's coming. You have been on that thing all day.

Well, if you're going to work so late.

Get some sleep, eh?

I'm almost done.

Just a sec.

It's really coming down hard. Mom, I'm almost done, just a sec. It's really coming down hard. Mom, phone.

Mom! It's right beside you.

Hello?

Is it Ashcroft?

Yes.

Who was it? Don't know.

They asked for Miss Ashcroft and then they hung up on me.

Rude.

What the? They're coming.

Grace, we need to go.

Go where?

Mom, what's going on?

Hurry!

Wait, who's coming?

What's wrong?

Shh!

We need to keep our voices down.

This is ridiculous.

Come on.

Tell me what's going on.

Now is not the time.

Stay close. Mom, wait!

Grace, keep moving.

Oh, who's there? Oh, I's that?

Oh, I'm so sorry about the power outage.

What happened?

It's really no excuse, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Oh, no, it's fine.

Don't worry.

I should have it fixed soon. I just need to find my...

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Breathe in, and out. Breathe in, and out.

Oh, Grace. I promise you, I will explain this all to you one of these days.

Grace, please know that you are my hope. Never forget that.

What are you talking about?

Just...

I love you.

I love you too.

Okay. Mom, I'm scared.

No, no, no. We need to find a way out of here now.

But we don't have any of our stuff.

We can come back for it later, Grace.

I... We don't have any of our stuff. We can come back for it later, Grace. I know! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

A game is insane. I got to see that sequence in Osaka about a month ago. There's a lot more to share, and there's a reason it was the most wish-listed title coming out of Summer Game Fest this June. Now, for those of you here in the arena tonight at Gamescom, there's some good news, because you'll be over on the show floor,

be the first players in the world to get hands-on with a playable demo of Resident Evil Requiem at the Capcom and Takuichi-san for that special look. And with that, Gamescom opening night live comes to a close. With the celebration of gaming doesn't stop here, we'll be back on Thursday, December 11th for the Game Awards,

streaming live around the world as we honor the best games of the year and give you a glimpse of what's coming in 2026 and beyond with tons of brand new game announcements. You're leaving, but before we say goodnight, we do have one last surprise. A global announcement

from a studio that walked away with multiple Game Awards wins for its last project. Please, take a look. Ding!

Rubber! Help me!

He ain't even trying! It's all me! Look at that belly of yours! Where's the mountain? You're falling fat, losing again.

Drop that cod's warup. The mast will take us back, as long as we keep that mountain in our heart.

Hey! You're scouting, you're vlogging, life spared. Why are we still in back? This way. We've got food on our table and... Come on.

They're coming for us. ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ There's a special announcement. GameScience has announced and kicked off development
