Gamescom Opening Night Live once again delivered plenty of new details for players about upcoming titles. This year’s show was particularly interesting for PlayStation 5 owners, as 19 games heading to Sony’s console were showcased. They included both big-name franchises and entirely new projects. Some releases are already very close, while others won’t arrive until next year.
Gamescom brought many big announcements for PS5
One of the show’s biggest games was Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, which will debut on PS5 on 27 August. Asobo’s production returns players to the world of the Plague Tale series, but this time it places a much stronger emphasis on dynamic combat. New footage was also shown from Control Resonant, in which Dylan Faden will have to face the chaos taking over Manhattan. The game has a release date set for 24 September. On the same day Silent Hill: Townfall will debut on PS5, another instalment in the popular horror series. The developers showed new gameplay clips and revealed the English voice cast. A lot of attention was also given to Final Fantasy VII Revelation, which is set to arrive in spring 2027. The new trailer showed, among other things, the powerful Weapons and Cloud and his companions’ journey aboard the Highwind. Fans of post-apocalyptic settings also received another piece of footage from Metro 2039, showcasing combat, weapons and exploration of the surface and underground. The game is due to hit PlayStation 5 in February 2027. Meanwhile Path of Exile 2 will receive the full 1.0 release on 11 December, bringing new campaign elements, endgame content, character progression and the loot system. Among the more interesting surprises were Rainbow Six Tactics, LEGO Skylines and Turok: Origins.
New worlds, horrors and big comebacks
Gamescom Opening Night Live also showcased several titles that were previously much less known. Ontos, the new game from the creators of SOMA, received its first major gameplay reveal and once again leans into intense horror and an unsettling atmosphere. Tides of Annihilation also looks intriguing, combining fast-paced battles with a fantastical world inspired by Arthurian legend. Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons will offer third-person action-adventure gameplay, an open world and combat that uses forbidden magic. Players also got a new trailer for Turok: Origins, which is due in spring 2027. Strategy fans might be interested in Rainbow Six Tactics, as the game brings the series' signature elements to turn-based gameplay. A more unusual title is Mewgenics, a tactical roguelite centred on breeding and modifying cats. The game arrives on PlayStation 5 on 8 September. Even earlier, on 16 September, Aniimo, an open-world RPG focused on creature collecting, will launch. Also shown was Exodus, scheduled for release on 7 April 2027. The showcase was rounded out by Acornia: Mirror Worlds, Ananta, Exterminauts, Valor Mortis and the Enhanced update for Crimson Desert.
Gamescom Opening Night Live proved to be a very strong showcase for PlayStation 5 owners. 19 unveiled games showed that Sony has a very varied slate of releases ahead. You won't have to wait long for some titles, such as Resonance or Silent Hill: Townfall. Others, including Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Exodus and Turok: Origins, won't arrive until 2027.
