This week I was fortunate enough to head over to Cologne, Germany, to attend Gamescom 2026, one of the world’s biggest gaming conventions. But with only a limited time on the show floor, I knew I had to lock in and play as much as possible in just a single day.
In just over nine hours, I got hands-on with 7 upcoming games, including Alien Isolation 2, Metro 2039 and Silent Hill: Townfall. Plus, I also caught an extended 50-minute presentation for The Witcher 3’s new expansion Songs of the Past. With plenty to talk about, I’ve put all the new games I played at Gamescom 2026 into an internet-friendly ranked list.
