Mortal Kombat 1 was also confirmed to be featured during the event, when it’ll show a new gameplay trailer revealing two fighters and more.Meanwhile, Keighley’s hype video gives a glimpse of several other games, including Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, although it’s not yet clear whether all the games featured in the video will appear during Opening Night Live.Keighley had previously set out to manage expectations by reiterating that Gamescom’s Opening Night Live will be more about updates on upcoming games, and he again emphasises this, saying, “Lots of great games on stage, primarily focused on announced titles — and there are so many. Like ONL in past years, this is not a show with surprise announcements or ‘one more things.'”As for Gamescom in general, we know that the Xbox booth will be “bigger than ever” with Stalker 2 and more titles playable in “world debuts,” and theatre presentations for Starfield, Forza Motorsport, and more.
