Gamescom Opening Night Live: How to Watch Online, Start Time and What to Expect – CNET

Video game trade show Gamescom kicks off in Germany this week, running Wednesday to Sunday. Before that, Tuesday’s Gamescom Opening Night Live (aka Gamescom: ONL) will reveal many of the upcoming games that’ll be showcased.

Host Geoff Keighley tweeted a trailer featuring some of those games, but you’ll need to tune in if you want to see more.

When does Gamescom Opening Night Live start?

It begins Tuesday at 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET, which converts to 7 p.m. GMT and Wednesday at 4 a.m. AEST (in case any Australians want to get up super early). It’ll last around two hours.

How to watch 

It’ll be livestreamed on The Game Awards’ YouTube channel. We’ve embedded it above,  so you can watch right here.

What to expect

Keighley noted that more than 30 games will appear, and tweeted a helpful sampling:

  • Sonic Frontiers 
  • Hogwarts Legacy 
  • The Callisto Protocol 
  • The Outlast Trials
  • Gotham Knights 
  • Unknown Worlds New IP
  • Honkai Star Rail
  • Goat Simulator 3
  • High on Life
  • The Expanse: Telltale Series
  • Return to Monkey Island

Many of these appeared in the trailer for the show as well, but we should probably expect some surprises too. Maybe we’ll get a firm release date for Star Wars: Jedi: Survivor as well?
