The next big gaming event of the year (outside of that rumored Nintendo Switch 2 Direct that could pop up at anytime now), is gamescom. The annual gaming event is set to host most of the big players in the industry and we now have all of the official details from Microsoft – a playable demo for the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, hands-on with the new ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X, and a whole lot more.
Xbox is headed to Cologne, Germany from August 20-24 for this year’s gamescom with a ton of hands-on experiences for attendees, but it will also be hosting an official Xbox @ gamescom Broadcast: Live From the Showfloor on August 20 & 21.
The Xbox Booth at the show will feature “20 games from our first party studios and our amazing third-party partners” playable across 120 gaming stations. One of the clear highlights here is going to be the ability to play the Hollow Knight: Silksong demo on its new ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X handhelds, alongside titles like Roblox, Sea of Thieves, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4.
Here’s some of the other titles Xbox will have on the showfloor this year:
- Grounded 2 is heading to gamescom! Attendees can check out hands-on demos of the shrunken co-op survival adventure from Obsidian Entertainment and Eidos Montreal.
- Ninja Gaiden 4: Gamescom attendees at the Xbox booth can get the first public hands-on with Ninja Gaiden 4, a cutting-edge adventure where legacy meets innovation in a high-octane blend of style and no-holds-barred combat
- MachineGames, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, is bringing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to gamescom in celebration of the upcoming story DLC, The Order of Giants. Attendees can play the base game on the showfloor, snap a themed photo, and step into the boots of Indy himself and attempt to find and piece together a mummified cat puzzle—a daily competition where the fastest participant wins a prize worthy of the adventurer. All activities and activations will be available at the Xbox booth starting Wednesday, August 20 through Sunday, August 24.
- World’s Edge is heading back to Cologne for gamescom 2025, bringing with it the legendary worlds of Age of Empires and Age of Mythology: Retold. With a significant presence on the show floor, the studio will be showcasing the depth and diversity of the Age franchise, offering fans a fresh look at beloved titles and teasing a few surprises along the way. Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or a newcomer to the battlefield, there’s something epic in store for everyone.
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 introduces an exciting city update, a brand-new aircraft that many fans will recognize for use in the sim, and exciting and unique challenges for players to test their piloting skills.
Alongside an exclusive theater presentation of The Outer Worlds 2, all of the following titles will be playable in the booth (and hopefully detailed on screen during the broadcast for everyone else) – today’s announcement also mentions the following:
