This year gamescom will present an important news: the opening conference hosted by Geoff Keighley gamescom: Opening NightLive, announced in April and which will take place on August 19 at 20:00. It will be a true conference like those of E3, except that instead of being tied to a single publisher or console builder, it will be "cross-platform" and will include ads from many publishers.

The organization of the fair has now revealed which guests will show their games and make new announcements on the event stage: among them stand out Xbox Game Studios (from which we await new announcements), Sony (which will show Again Death Stranding with Hideo Kojima) and giants like 2K, EA, Activision and many more. Here is the full list, in alphabetical order:

• 2K
• Activision
• Bandai Namco Entertainment
• Bungie
• Capcom
• Electronic arts
• Epic Games
• Google Stadia
• Deep Silver, Silver
• Private Division
• Saw
• Square Enix
• Sony Interactive Entertainment
• Nordic THQ
• Ubisoft
• Xbox Game Studios

Each of these will show us something about their upcoming games or make new announcements; all this will be visible on the major streaming platforms (in the coming days more details) and localized in 8languages, among which we expect to be Italian.

So don't make any commitments for the 19th night: we'll see some good ones, and we at MondoXbox will be in the audience to tell you about it!
