Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026: The biggest announcements and trailers

The Geoff Keighley-hosted Opening Night Live event at Gamescom just wrapped up. Arguably the biggest announcement was the closer: a remastered version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt from CD Projekt Red that’s launching in September. But the show also featured a bunch of trailers for others games, including Gears of War: E-Day, Capcom’s upcoming Mega Man sidescroller, and Final Fantasy VII Revelation. The event took place ahead of a potentially very big fall for the games industry. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to release on November 19th, and the rest of the games industry is largely steering clear of GTA VI’s launch. That means the next several weeks are packed with major releases — and the calendar just got even busier with the Witcher 3 remaster. GTA VI wasn’t shown, but that’s not really a surprise: that game is set to have a reveal event of its own on Thursday. Here’s our coverage from Gamescom and Opening Night Live.
