How to watch Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024

Gamescom 2024 is almost here. Exhibitors from over 60 countries will descend on Cologne, Germany, for what is now the industry’s biggest gaming event following E3’s demise. An opening night presentation will kick off the festivities with new game announcements, trailers, footage and other surprises (like the obligatory awkward celebrity cameos). You can watch the showcase right here on Tuesday, August 20.

As usual, industry stalwart Geoff Keighley will host the Opening Night Live festivities, which begin at 2PM ET on Tuesday. E-sports MC Eefje “sjokz” Depoortere will join as co-host.

Keighley has confirmed the showcase will include the following:

• Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (“a new look” at the game)

• Monster Hunter Wilds (a new trailer)

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (a play-through of the first campaign)

• Marvel Rivals (new heroes and updates)

• Dune Awakening (an “extended look” at gameplay)

• Civilization VII (the gameplay world premiere)

• The next game from Tarsier Studios, creators of Little Nightmares I and II
