Yesterday in Cologne, Germany the largest event in the gaming industry started. For the next 5 days fans of video games and other amazing attractions in the entertainment industry will enjoy the presentations of the newest games, will have a chance to attend amazing showcases, to meet the developers of their favorite products and of course play a lot.
For those who are watching our journey online we’ve decided to give a glimpse on how this impressive event is going. Square Enix is attending this year's Gamescom expo. The Japanese developer brought along Final Fantasy XIV multiplayer for the presentation, but no other franchises were announced. As for Final Fantasy, fans were treated to a themed area, real-world activities, a stage performance and more at the show.
Square Enix probably wanted to draw attention to the Dawntrail add-on, which went into a full release on July 2. One Square Enix exhibition gamescom 2024 was not limited to one Square Enix. For example, Team17 - the creator of the hardcore Blasphemous - will come to it. And the Plaion company will bring Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to the exhibition. Ubisoft, THQ Nordic, Capcom and Blizzard will also show new projects on Xbox.
This year's gamescom will take place from August 21-25, 2024. Another Future Games Show presentation was also held to coincide with the opening of the show.
However, this is far from all the novelties that have already been announced at the event. For instance, Mafia: The Old Country is an upcoming third-person shooter PC game being developed by Hangar 13. At the Gamescom opening night the game was announced that a release is expected on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Windows in 2025. It is a prequel to the Mafia series and its fourth installment after Mafia III. Amazon Prime Video and the director of “Deadpool” and “The Terminator: Dark Fates”, Tim Miller, have announced Secret Level, an animated anthology series about popular game franchises and TV series. The debut trailer was also shown at Opening Night Live. The action of each episode takes place in a popular game universe. In total, the first season will have 15 short films. Secret Level will premiere on December 10. Whether all episodes will be shown on the same day is still unknown.
