Gamescom 2025 – Everything You Need To Know

2025’s Gamescom is slated as the biggest gaming event of the year, uniting titans of the industry, independent creators, and enthusiastic players worldwide.

Hey there fellow gamers! Get ready for an unforgettable experience as I’m about to dive into the heart of Europe’s leading gaming event. This is where we’ll hear groundbreaking announcements, get our hands on the latest games, and peek behind the scenes at what lies ahead in our beloved world of gaming. Here’s your ultimate guide!

Date and Location

Gamescom will once again take over Cologne, Germany, from August 20 to August 24, 2025.

In the previous year, the Opening Night Live event ran for approximately two hours, showcasing significant gaming unveilings such as the long-awaited Borderlands 4 from Gearbox Studios and updates on Call of Duty 6. Additionally, it premiered a trailer for Reanimal, the upcoming title from Tarsier Studios who have previously achieved success with Little Nightmares 1 and 2.

Opening Night Live with Geoff Keighley

Typically, gaming enthusiasts are getting ready for the much-awaited live event known as the Opening Night Live show, where once again, Geoff Keighley will take on hosting duties.

Enthusiasts should get ready for exclusive debuts, unexpected disclosures, and sneak peeks into forthcoming games. This prominent exhibition kick-starts the whole affair and stirs anticipation throughout the video game sector.

Major Publisher Showcases

This year is anticipated for the reveal of new projects by leading publishers. Yet, it remains uncertain if Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft will partake, as both PlayStation and Nintendo did not attend last year’s event.

Given that Nintendo’s upcoming reveal of their Switch 2 lineup is scheduled for April 2nd’s Direct presentation, it’s quite likely that they could grace us with a presence, demonstrating their new hardware and potential games they plan to release.

Leading game developers such as CD Projekt Red are anticipated to unveil fresh information about the upcoming title, The Witcher 4, with Cirilla taking center stage. To start off this exciting event, a live orchestra performance is planned, paying tribute to The Witcher’s memorable soundtrack.

How to Attend or Watch

2025’s Gamescom event is open to everyone, whether you plan to attend in person or watch from home. Tickets for both general public and business visitors are now on sale through the official Gamescom website. If you can’t make it physically, don’t worry! You can still catch all major showcases and discussions live on YouTube, Twitch, and their official channels.
