No significant new console releases have occurred in the past year, and thousands of people have been laid off as a result of strikes and budget cuts in the industry.
Gamescom’s opening night is frequently a chance for a big, flashy night to get fans pumped for the coming year.
Here are the most important revelations from Europe’s largest gaming event, held in Germany, to set the tone for the upcoming year.
A follow-up to Borderlands
In a year where video games evolved into movies and movies become video games, the Cologne convention center hosted a night dedicated to the big trailers.
The movie adaptation of Borderlands, starring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, has garnered notice this year.
Despite some of the worst reviews of the year for that movie, plans for a new core series game have not been dashed.
Other than the fact that it will launch in 2025, not much is known about the game at this time.
Although no specific platforms have been revealed as of yet, the newest Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC systems should be able to run this one.
