How to watch Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024

Paul Attreides.

The second in the yearly trifecta of Geoff Keighley-hosted events is here: the Gamescom Opening Night Live premiere. The live show hosted in Cologne, Germany is the kickoff for the Gamescom convention where developers will be showing off upcoming games and products. Like other showcases throughout the year, ONL is an evening full of *FPS announcer voice* "World premieres," new trailers, and game reveals.

As usual, there have been teasers for games that are definitely turning up to the showcase: Black Ops 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Dune Awakening, Civilization 7, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and a lot of others. Keighey tends to pack an event pretty tight with trailers so there will likely be some surprises we haven't anticipated. Oh, but he did do us all a favor and confirmed ahead of time that no, Silksong isn't there.

When is Gamescom Opening Night Live?

This year Gamescom Opening Night Live premieres at 8 pm CET on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. You can check what time that is in your time zone, or check what 8 pm CET equates to around the world below:

  • 11 am PDT (Los Angeles)
  • 2 pm EDT (New York)
  • 7 pm BST (London)
  • 8 pm CET (Cologne)
  • 4 am, August 21 AEST (Sydney)
  • 6 am, August 21 NZST (Auckland)

Opening Night Live is expected to last about two hours, but given that it is a live show it could very well run long. Here's a longer list of games that Keighley has confirmed will be turning up to the showcase:

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
  • Monster Hunter Wilds
  • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
  • Little Nightmares III
  • DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO

We'll be on the ground at Gamescom, so expect to see more about plenty of the games above on PC Gamer this week.
