Gamescom Opening Night Live once again delivered plenty of new information to 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 major franchises and completely new projects. Some releases are already just around the corner, while others won't arrive until next year.
Gamescom brought many big announcements for PS5
One of the showcase's biggest games was Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, which will debut on PS5 on August 27. The Asobo studio production returns players to the world of the Plague Tale series, but this time it leans much more into dynamic combat. New footage was also shown for Control Resonant, in which Dylan Faden will have to face the chaos overtaking Manhattan. The game received a release date set for September 24. That same day Silent Hill: Townfall will debut on PS5, another installment 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 due in spring 2027. The new trailer showed, among other things, powerful Weapons and Cloud's journey with his companions aboard the Highwind. Fans of post-apocalyptic settings also got another look at Metro 2039, showcasing combat, weapons, and exploration of the surface and the underground. The game is set to arrive on PlayStation 5 in February 2027. Meanwhile Path of Exile 2 will reach full 1.0 on December 11, bringing new campaign elements, endgame content, character progression, and a loot system. Among the more interesting surprises were Rainbow Six Tactics, LEGO Skylines, and Turok: Origins.
New worlds, horrors and major returns
Gamescom Opening Night Live also showcased several titles that had been much less known until now. Ontos, the new game from the creators of SOMA, received its first extended gameplay showing and again leans on strong horror and an unsettling atmosphere. Tides of Annihilation also looks intriguing, combining fast-paced clashes with a fantasy world inspired by Arthurian legend. Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons will offer third-person action-adventure, an open world and combat that uses forbidden magic. Players were also shown a new trailer for Turok: Origins, which will debut in spring 2027. Strategy fans may be interested in Rainbow Six Tactics, as the game transfers the series’ distinctive elements to turn-based gameplay. A more unusual title is Mewgenics, a tactical roguelite focused on breeding and modifying cats. The game will arrive on PlayStation 5 on 8 September. Even earlier, on 16 September, Aniimo will debut, an open world RPG with creature collecting. Among the presented games was also Exodus, whose release has been scheduled for 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. The 19 showcased games demonstrated that Sony has a very diverse slate of upcoming releases. For some titles, such as Resonance and Silent Hill: Townfall, you won't have to wait long. Others, including Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Exodus and Turok: Origins, won't arrive until 2027.
