Here's when to catch the ONL premiere for this year.

The second in the yearly trifecta of Geoff Keighley-hosted events is here: the Gamescom Opening Night Live premiere. The live show hosted in Cologne, Germany is the kickoff for the Gamescom convention where developers will be showing off upcoming games and products. Like other showcases throughout the year, ONL is an evening full of *FPS announcer voice* “World premieres,” new trailers, and game reveals.

As usual, there have been teasers for games that are definitely turning up to the showcase: Black Ops 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Dune Awakening, Civilization 7, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and a lot of others. Keighey tends to pack an event pretty tight with trailers so there will likely be some surprises we haven’t anticipated. Oh, but he did do us all a favor and confirmed ahead of time that no, Silksong isn’t there.
