Every announcement from Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026

We're all tuned in to the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 show, which starts the huge convention over in Germany with a bang. We've collected all the announcements for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and mobile games below so you can see what's coming in the future.

In previous years, we've seen announcements for gacha games like Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), Hollow Knight Silksong, horror games including Resident Evil: Requiem, and many more - on top of early looks at TV shows such as Fallout's season 2. Needless to say, our hopes are high for 2026.

Where can I watch the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 showcase?

Here's the live show on YouTube. The stream will stay up, so if you miss the show on August 25, you can still see all the announcements.
