Gamescom 2019 is happening over the next few days, and to start things off formally, The Game Awards’ Geoff Keighley hosted the Gamescom Opening Night Live presentation.
Chocked full of trailers and gameplay footage, not only did we see more of upcoming titles, but we also got reveals of brand new games, including sequels to critically acclaimed indie titles, here’s all that was shown at the presentation:
Death Stranding
It would not be a Geoff Keighley production without mention of his bestie, Hideo Kojima, as Death Stranding closed out the presentation.
Showing off the character, “Mama,” as well as a curious urinating mechanic in-game, we also got a look at a character played by Keighley as well.
And who can forget those babies in their pods, now we have an explanation, sort of, courtesy of Guillermo del Toro.
