Every announcement from Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025

The Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase kicked off the massive, five-day gaming conference in Cologne, Germany, bringing the action to your very own living room. With hundreds of exhibitors from around the world, there’s something for everyone at this event.

Last year’s show brought us new trailers for Black Ops 6, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and Borderlands 4, as well as featured spots for some of our favorite gacha games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail. We already know that Zenless Zone Zero and Aston Martin have an exclusive pop-up planned for the event, so it’s a great time to be a gacha fan.

Where can I watch the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 showcase?

If you missed the livestream, you can catch up on the showcase on the official Gamescom YouTube channel, or in the video below.
