This afternoon was Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. This would usually be a standard start of any kind of gaming journalism conference, but showman Geoff Keighley has turned it into another platform for major gaming announcements that lasted roughly two hours. That being said, here’s a list of what we’re excited for from the cavalcade of announcements today.
We Harvest Shadows: Described as a first person horror farming allegory all about farming in complete isolation and the kind of terrors one's mind can conjure late at night.
Borderlands 4: This was rumored to be in development but we got our first teaser for the FPS hot off the presses of its less than stellar theater debut (see our review discussion of the movie here.)
Reanimal: From the creators of Little Nightmares 1 and 2 comes Reanimal, which keeps within that horror 2D platformer realm that has made this dev team so successful with their previous games. I am psyched for whatever these guys do. Speaking of Little Nightmares…
Little Nightmares 3: We previously saw a teaser but now we got a full on gameplay trailer and boy does it not disappoint. It’s everything we’d expect from this series but now even more intense and scary. We can’t wait.
Marvel Rivals: This Overwatch PVP shooter has been in Beta for a few months now but goes 1.0 December 6th, free 2 play with two new characters announced: Captain America and The Winter Soldier.
Dark Pictures Anthology: Directive 8020: The Dark Pictures Anthology series has been a fantastic breath of fresh air, creating stand alone shorter games and releasing them piecemeal. The newest entry into this series Directive 8020 is sci-fi aliens themed, giving heavy vibes of Body Snatchers and The Thing.
Those are the games we’re really excited for coming out of the Gamescom Opening Night Live. What games are you guys excited for? Did something stand out that we missed? Let us know in the comments!
