Taking place from the Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany, it was a big show that highlighted upcoming games like Silent Hill F, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Dozens of other games also got a moment to shine, and in case you missed everything, you can scroll below to see everything that was announced.

Sekiro Anime Officially Revealed, Watch The First Trailer Here Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight The bat is back, as the Caped Crusader is coming to PC and console next year.

Final Fantasy 14 will also receive Monster Hunter content in early October. Monster Hunter Wilds X Final Fantasy 14 Collaboration Revealed For Both Games Onimusha: Way of the Sword Onimusha: Way of the Sword continues to look like a sharp revival of the classic action-RPG, and the new gameplay trailer revealed some gruesome monsters and impactful gameplay. It'll be out in 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Arknights: Endfield We still don't have a release date for Arknights: Endfield, but the ONL trailer reminded us that this game has some good-looking action, anime girls, and plenty of gadgets. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is out next month, and a new trailer showed off more of the shift from towering mechs to one-man-army mech suits. These versatile warsuits can also be extensively customized, and like its predecessor, you're free to experience the campaign on your own or in co-operative multiplayer. A demo is out now. Europa Universalis V It has been more than a decade since the last game in the Europa Universalis series was released, and Paradox confirmed that a new sequel in the strategy game series is in development. Fallout Season 2 What happens in New Vegas doesn't always stay in New Vegas, as the second season of Fallout is headed to the post-apocalyptic city located inside the radioactive Mojave Wasteland. The new teaser trailer for Prime Video's adaptation of the beloved game showed off more of the iconic locale debuting in the new season--starting December 17--as well as the return of cast members Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins. Fallout Season 2 Trailer Suggests It'll Be The New Vegas Remaster Everyone's Been Asking For Indiana Jones and The Order of Giants Indiana Jones and the Great Circle fans can look forward to next month's expansion, The Order of Giants. During ONL, we got to see gameplay for it, and as you'd guess, it was full of traps, mysteries, and moments to put Indy's whip to good use. The game is also coming to Switch 2 in 2026. Indiana Jones And The Order Of Giants Looks Like The Best Of The Great Circle, And It's Coming To Nintendo Switch 2 Too Deadpool VR Deadpool VR launches on November 18, and the new trailer revealed that the Merc with a Mouth will be going up against Mojo, who is voiced by Hollywood actor John Leguizamo. Other characters featured in the trailer include Spiral and Omega Red. World of Tanks 2.0 World of Tanks is getting a massive upgrade next month, and alongside numerous tweaks and fixes, the free-to-play game will also add Tier XI vehicles. These will be introduced in a new PvE story-driven campaign when the free update goes live on September 3. John Carpenter's Toxic Commando After being missing in action for quite a while, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando made its gameplay debut during ONL. Developed by Saber Interactive, the game looks impressively gory in action and it'll be out in early 2026. John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Is Coming In 2026 With Gory Zombie-Killing And Vehicular Mayhem Death by Scrolling Death by Scrolling looks like a dangerously engaging game, as this vertically scrolling RPG from adventure game legend Ron Gilbert challenges you to fight your way through all kinds of hazards so that you can avoid a date with the Grim Reaper. Death By Scrolling Is A Pixel-Art Auto-Scrolling Roguelike Hell Simulation From Ron Gilbert Zero Parades ZA/UM teased its next game, Zero Parades. While the trailer was purely cinematic, it does look like it will revolve around espionage and spycraft. Neverness to Everness In case you can't get enough of games with cool techwear fashion like Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai Star Rail, Neverness to Everness looks like an interesting entry in that very specific genre. Unbeatable Unbeatable is out on November 6, and the ONL trailer briefly showed off its catchy gameplay and FLCL-inspired vibes. Honor of Kings: World In another brief trailer, we got to look at a big boss fight in Honor of Kings: World and some fancy fantasy architecture. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 musical diversion did not disappoint, as the ONL audience was treated to a live performance pulled directly from one of the most emotionally devastating moments of the game. Ninja Gaiden Black 4 Ninja Gaiden 4 is shaping up to be a fluid mix between precision swordplay and shinobi skills, and the new trailer for the game emphasized how you'll use these abilities to leave a trail of mangled bodies behind you. The Darkest Files The Darkest Files is a game framed around heavy subject matter, as players will process documents, prosecute Nazis and defend post-war Germany. The game is out now for PC, and is also coming to Switch. Cinder City NCSoft had two games to show off at ONL, starting with the live-service tactical-shooter Cinder City. The MMO is set inside of an open-world environment that players can survive and thrive in. Time Takers The second game from NCSoft was weird , as Time Takers is a third-person team-based shooter that brings together characters from across various eras of human history to battle each other. Silent Hill F A new look at Silent Hill F showed off more of the game's grisly souls-like combat and terrifying setting based on Japanese folklore. For the English dub, the protagonist will be voiced by Suzie Yeung, Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Yuffie. New Silent Hill F Trailer Features Doppelgangers, Creepy Fights, And English Voice Cast Cronos: The New Dawn Bloober Team has been on a tear as of late, and for its next game, it's going to hop through time for some third-person survival-horror that looks heavily influenced by Dead Space. We got a new gameplay trailer and a look at just how uncomfortable the protagonist's suit must be in real life, thanks to a cosplayer appearing on the stage dressed as the Traveler. La Divina Commedia For some divine comedy action--and what is probably an incredibly unreadable logo--La Divina Commedia looks like it'll transport players to several circles of hell where they'll be forced to fight or perish. Somehow, This New Game Isn't A Dante's Inferno Sequel The Outer Worlds 2 The Outer Worlds 2 is doubling down on what made the first game so memorable, as this sequel to the original sci-fi game is aiming to give players more opportunities to craft their own tale across several planets. The new trailer--introduced by Obsidian's "head of sequels," Ben Schwartz--was full of cheeky humor and companions as well, showing just what players can expect when The Outer Worlds lands on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC on October 29. Meet The Outer Worlds 2 Companions, Whom You Can't Romance Inzoi: Island Getaway Available August 20, Inzoi's Island Getawat is free to all players. Fate Trigger Another game with heavily armed anime ladies, Fate Trigger's early access period begins in early 2026. The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Based on the popular manga and anime series, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin features a brand-new original story. The new trailer for the open-world game had plenty of gameplay, showing how players will explore the land of Britannia as the protagonist, Prince Tristan of Liones. Void/Breaker Void/Breaker is out now in early access for Steam and PC Game Pass, and there was a quick sizzle reel trailer for the game shown off during ONL. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 After years of development and numerous delays, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will officially be out on October 21 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The new trailer also showed off how players will have a guiding voice in their head--quite literally!--to help them crack an unsolved murder case during their exploration of Seattle and the secret society of vampires. Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Sinks Its Fangs Into An October Release Date Moonlighter 2 11 bit studios and Digital Sun Games revealed that roguelike Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault will be available via Steam Early Access starting October 23. This build of the game will feature three biomes and over 120 relics to collect and sell ahead of its eventual full release. Moonlighter 2 Releases In Early Access Soon, Including Game Pass On Day One World of Warcraft: Midnight World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion, Midnight, got a fancy new reveal trailer during ONL, showing off the next chapter in the grand MMORPG in even grander style. Featuring Blood Elf leaders Lor'themar and Liadrin protecting their homeland of Quel'Thalas from Xal'atath and her invading army, the new cinematic shows just how dire things have become in the next chapter of the Worldsoul Saga. WoW: Midnight Opening Cinematic Once Again Puts The Sunwell Under Siege Age of Empires 4 Age of Empires 4 is on its way to PS5 in November, and we also got a teaser for the New Dynasties of the East expansion that will launch alongside it. Cult of the Lamb Fans of sects and violence can prepare themselves for a new Cult of the Lamb expansion, Woolhaven. It'll launch in early 2026. Cult Of The Lamb Is Getting Its Big Paid Expansion, Woolhaven, Early In 2026 Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Legacy of the Forge The second DLC expansion for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Legacy of the Forge, launches on September 9.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Second DLC Gets Trailer And Release Date Enshrouded: Wake the Water Wake of the Water is a big new update coming to Enshrouded in October, and it looks like we're going to need to get our swimming shorts out of storage for this one. Project Spectrum Project Spectrum is the next game from the team behind it Delta Force, and it looks wild . Billed as a PvPvE psychological-horror game, it wash shown off with a slick cinematic trailer during ONL. World of Tanks: Heat World of Tanks 2.0 wasn't the only reveal revolving around war machines at ONL, as we also got the debut trailer for World of Tanks: Heat. A 10v10 hero shooter--but with tanks and agents--the game will be coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S and it'll offer both cross-play and cross-progression. World Of Tanks: Heat Is A Hero Shooter Where The Heroes Have Customizable Tanks Ghost of Yotei Easily one of the biggest releases of October, Ghost of Yotei made a quick appearance during ONL, revealing more of its beautiful world, action-packed samurai gameplay, and revenge-fueled story.

Hollow Knight Silksong Is Teasing A "Special Announcement" This Week
Hollow Knight Silksong Is Teasing A "Special Announcement" This WeekFolks, I think it's happening. Team Cherry, the renowned developer behind Hollow Knight and its upcoming sequel Silksong , is teasing a major announcement this week. All signs appear to point towards news of an imminent release date or even a shadowdrop. Early on the morning of August 19, Team Cherry shared a post on social media--its first in a while, as a matter of fact--announcing that it would be making an announcement two days later. At the same time, it shared a link to a livestream on the team's own YouTube page dated to go live on August 21 at 7:30 AM PT/ 10:30 AM ET. Despite rumors and teases that Silksong would appear at Gamescom Opening Night Live , the E3-like showcase that occurs at the biggest games trade show in Europe, it appears that its developers are taking matters into their own hands for the special occasion. Though it could still show up on the main stage, it seems more likely that it'll now have a big blowout on its own terms a few days later. Continue Reading at GameSpot

NetEase says it has permission to make original characters in Marvel Rivals. But please, for the love of God, don’t do it
NetEase says it has permission to make original characters in Marvel Rivals. But please, for the love of God, don’t do it The Marvel universe has no shortage of unique, interesting, or silly characters, but that's apparently not stopping NetEase Games from potentially going full fan-fiction and making up their own in Marvel Rivals. This is according to a new interview with MP1st , where the hero shooter's creative director, Guangyun "Guangguang" Chen, stated, "yes, we are allowed to introduce characters" into Marvel Rivals . He later went on to only tease to "stay tuned" on the subject, but I'm here to ask, why? And to also say, no, do not do it. Please. Screenshot by Destructoid A classic Jurassic Park quote comes immediately to mind for me. Speaking of the creation of dinosaurs, Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm says the iconic line: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." I really, really hope that NetEase considers the latter half of this phrase. There is simply no need for Marvel Rivals to go create-a-character mode and come up with their own wonky superhero when there are nearly limitless options from Marvel canon to begin with. There are decades of source material for NetEase to pull from when it comes to telling stories with fun characters. And judging from previous leaks and data mines, the company has already gone to the archives to pull some obscure ones like Paste Pot Pete, Locus, Jia Jing, The Hood, and others. And that's before even getting into the discussion of a sprawling list of characters that players actually want. There are multiple rosters of X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Verse, Asgardians, and countless other teams to comb through before we even consider the idea of original characters. And that day may soon come, especially if NetEase continues on this torrid pace of releasing one new hero every month. We could get there sooner than we think, but even then, I think we should get weirder with existing material than going into the realm of created characters, which would greatly cheapen the experience. I'm probably being a little bit dramatic, because I doubt that Marvel wouldn't in some way oversee the creation of new characters. And maybe NetEase could cook up something genuinely pretty cool. But I think that the myriad of options NetEase can deal with before getting to this point must be exhausted twice over before ever adding in an OC. Marvel Rivals takes place across the multiverse, with different variants and versions of heroes through storylines and timelines. I'd rather see alternate versions of the same exact character before an OC, and I feel like I won't be alone in this sentiment, especially when it comes to comic book fans. Screenshot by Destructoid A lot of the excitement for this game comes from Marvel fans who want to see their favorites as playable heroes. I don't think many want to see made-up characters that they have no attachment to whatsoever, and so I can't help but feel like original characters would make the game feel like a cheap knock-off of the Marvel experience. Please just give us any and every possible hero and villain before an original character is allowed to reach the concept phase. The post NetEase says it has permission to make original characters in Marvel Rivals. But please, for the love of God, don’t do it appeared first on Destructoid .

All Pokemon TCG Pocket Mega Evolution cards, release window, and more
All Pokemon TCG Pocket Mega Evolution cards, release window, and more The ending segment of the 2025 World Championships revealed something massive for Pokémon TCG Pocket fans, as Mega Evolution is heading to the digital playing mat pretty soon. As confirmed by the official X account earlier on Aug. 18, we have the first glimpses of a few Mega Evolution cards. An exact date is yet to be announced, but most expectations are along the lines of the next season. Table of contents All Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Evolution cards Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Evolution release date How will Mega Evolution work in Pokémon TCG Pocket? All Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Evolution cards While The Pokémon Company didn't explicitly disclose any of the Mega Evolutions, we got an official trailer. Here's the list of all new shiny cards that we have found on the trailer: Mega Altaria EX Mega Gyarados EX Mega Blaziken EX We will update this list as we keep getting more leaks and officially confirmed cards from The Pokémon Company. https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGP/status/1957276807310590047 Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Evolution release date Unfortunately, an exact release date isn't available at this time. The ongoing expansion began in the last week of July. According to the official Mega Evolution trailer, the new update will be part of a fresh season going live in the Fall this year. Once we have an exact date and time, expect to see a countdown that will tick down to the incoming feature. How will Mega Evolution work in Pokémon TCG Pocket? Again, we do not have any official information about how the Mega Evolutions are going to work. Based on my experience with Pokémon TCG Pocket and Pokémon TCG Live , I firmly believe that Mega Evolutions will work in the same fashion as regular Evolutions. In simpler words, you'll have to slap the Mega version on the usually evolved version of a Pokémon. It's understandable that Mega Evolutions will dish out massive damage to players and their cards. However, they should take a long time to set up or risk completely changing the dynamics of the meta and breaking regular evolutions.
