All the news from Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025

With Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, the summer of games comes to a close. Join Mr. Video Games himself, Geoff Keighley, on August 19th at 2PM ET as he emcees the last big video game livestream event before the kids go back to school and the adults break out the Halloween decorations.

We already know that we can expect news of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Ghost of Yōtei, Outer Worlds 2, and more. Outside of video games, we might also get a new trailer for Fallout season two and maybe an update on the Ghost of Tsushima movie. And out of all the video game events of the last few years, this one might actually, truly, be the one where we get actual news of a release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong. There will be a playable demo on the Gamescom floor, which has to mean something, right?

Follow along below for all of our coverage of the news and announcements from Opening Night Live 2025.
