Gamescom: Opening Night Live is a new addition to Europe's big videogame convention, and creator Geoff Keighley says that more than 15 publishers are showing up with "new content and announcements" for Monday's livestream.
As usual with Keighley's events, Hideo Kojima will be there with a Death Stranding preview. There still hasn't been a proper PC announcement, though speculation increased after it was delisted as a PlayStation 4 exclusive.
We'll also be at Gamescom, which starts in full on August 20, reporting from the floor. Here's when and how to watch the show that'll kick it all off:
