Ready to hear the words world premiere? Geoff Keighley is once again hosting a livestream event for Gamescom's opening night, kicking off the online-only event with his usual slate of new game announcements. Well, it's not quite a kick-off if you count Tuesday's Xbox showcase, which showed us competitive multiplayer in Microsoft Flight Simulator and taught us a lot about trebuchets. But we're sure to see more games during today's event.
Gamescom 2021's Opening Night Live begins Wednesday at 8pm CEST, which translates to:
- 11 am PST
- 2 pm EST
- 7 pm BST
You can also click here to see exactly what time it is in your timezone, but you probably don't need to bother: the event is kicking off soon, and you can watch it in the Youtube video above.
Better grab a snack: Expect Opening Night Live to run for two hours.
