Opening Night Live kicks off the Gamescom festivities tomorrow, and there are five games I want to see above all else. The Gamescom 2026 schedule is already packed with goodies – Konami confirmed in a news bulletin that Silent Hill Townfall will be getting a new trailer during ONL, as will upcoming Xbox games like Gears of War: E-Day. But there are plenty of other new games on the horizon, including many upcoming PS5 games, that still have question marks over them.
I've put my sleuthing cap on and searched high and low to suss out what other new games might show face at the event. Some of the predictions below are based on deduction – be it the attendance of a high-profile developer, a publisher's presence at the convention itself, or being a 2026 release with no fixed launch date – while others are more of a hunch. I've been right before, so who's saying it can't happen again? Here are my top five predictions for Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026!
