Gamescom Opening Night Live is here! The showcase heralds the changing of gaming seasons with one last deluge of WORLD PREMIEREs before autumn blows in the bracing winds of Game of the Year debates. Follow along right here as the two hour show airs to keep up with every announcement as it happens.
I'll be your live world premieres tracker for Gamescom ONL this year! While my PCG colleagues go deeper on the biggest announcements from the show I'll be right here making sure you don't miss anything. I promise I won't abandon my post to go frame-by-frame through that Witcher 3 DLC trailer when it drops, no matter how it calls to me.
What was in the pre-show?
There's always got to be a show before the show that has world premieres before the WORLD PREMIERES. Here's a quick rundown on what was in the ONL pre-show:
- Worms: Galactic Tactics and also there's another Worms game in development

Alright, buckle up for the main show!
We're all here to see Geralt, got it
Based on the rigorous scientific data of early polling results, PC gamers still disproportionately favor The Witcher. Let's all feign shock, shall we? So now the question is: Will the trailer put Geralt in a tub for old time's sake or is that joke too dusty now? It's only been 11 years.
While we wait to find out, it's time for the pre-show.
Alright, which trailer are you really here to see?
We've got about an hour to go before the proper show starts, but I know we're all ready to sound off on which reveal we're here for. As mentioned, it's The Witcher 3: Songs of The Past for me.
