Gamescom 2013: all the stories from day one

Gamescom hasn't officially started yet, but even though the doors are closed, the big players decided to show off some games anyway. Possibly in a smelly old shack out the back. Between their excitable gibber, and the pre-announcements being excreted through the interwireless digiclouds, we've already gleaned plenty of info about The Future of Electronic Computer Gaming.

Here's your round-up of the first day's PC news.

• Tom Clancy's The Division is coming to the PC . Who would have ever guessed?

• World of Warplanes gets a lavish CGI trailer, and a release date .

• Neither Peggle 2 nor Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare will be on PC at launch. Boo!

• The free-to-play Command & Conquer is getting singleplayer and co-op campaign missions next year.

• The Sims 4 will "explore the gamut of human emotions" . Data would be proud.

• Much like its parent, Battlefield 4 will also come in Premium flavour , giving players access to five planned expansions.

• EVE: Valkyrie will shoot your Oculus Rift nestled head into space next year.

• Dragon Age: Inquisition gets a new dev diary , this one focusing on the world of Thedas, and the Inquisiton.

• Sci-fi FPS Alien Rage is out next month . We might as well rage right back at them.

• We've picked up an exciting gameplay trailer for Titanfall , and stuffed it inside our robust metallic frame.

• City Interactive introduce us to the Lords of the Fallen with a new CGI trailer.

That's day one, but you can peruse our complete coverage over at the Gamescom 2013 tag .
