The preview show, announced a few days ago, which will kick off half an hour before Opening Night Live, will, among other things, offer a “new take” on the action RPG Scarlet Nexus from Bandai Namco Entertainment.

The Gamescom 2020 Opening Ceremony’s main program now also includes the gameplay debut of the space fighter Chorus and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, the announcement of a new set for The Sims 4, and a demo of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.

Among other things, as part of Opening Night Live, an announcement is expected related to Turrican – a series of 2D action games developed by the German studio Factor 5 in the 90s of the last century.

In total, the Opening Night Live is expected to 38 projects, including the first expansion to DOOM Eternal, gameplay demo of Ratchet & Clank: the Rift the Apart, Scene trailer by Mafia: Definitive Edition, of Age of Empires III of Definitive Edition, and others.

Despite the abundance of already confirmed Opening Night Live members, some of the show’s guests will remain a secret until the very end: Kayleigh intends to keep a few surprises for the ceremony.

Opening Night Live will begin broadcasting today, August 27, at 20:30 Moscow time with the already mentioned preliminary show. The timing of the main opening ceremony will be about two hours.
