Geoff Keighley, a key figure in the gaming industry, has shared tidbits about what to expect during Gamescom Opening Night Live, which is set for Tuesday, August 19th, 2025, with various media outlets, including TopMob Gaming.
As a hardcore gamer, I can’t wait for the thrilling kick-off of Gamescom 2025, which is none other than the Opening Night Live show. For several years now, Geoff Keighley has been graciously hosting this grand event. It’s going to be an unforgettable night!
During a briefing call with global news outlets, Keighley expressed his excitement about the upcoming events of this year, which will not only take place physically in Cologne, Germany but will also be streamed online for those who cannot attend the conference in person. The broadcast is set to start at 7pm UK time.
At Gamescom Opening Night Live, any game, regardless of the console or platform it’s on, is welcome to participate in the event. This means that Keighley emphasizes the event’s inclusivity and neutrality towards different gaming platforms.
Regardless if you’re using a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, personal computer, mobile device, or Nintendo Switch 2, you can look forward to enjoying the performance.
Keighley shared during the Zoom meeting: “Everything fits perfectly together. Notably, it seems Hollow Knight: Silksong will be playable at Gamescom, and this is what really excited everyone.
The friendly host mentioned: “There aren’t many large-scale consumer events left where people can attend and enjoy playing games. Yes, we will unveil and possibly announce some games at ONL, which should then be playable at Gamescom as well.
It’s great to see such a connected network among various publishers and events. Indeed, we will showcase several lesser-known indie titles during the event.
Apart from our own creations, we’re thrilled to include a variety of games developed in Germany within our exhibition. It’s crucial to acknowledge this international aspect of game development, showcasing the global perspective in our offerings.
Indeed, we often ponder how to strike a balance among various platforms when it comes to our shows. Notably, these programs are designed to work seamlessly across any platform, ensuring that updates and announcements for major platforms will be featured in the show regardless of where the games originate.
Regardless of the location where you enjoy your games, be sure to join us, as there might be something unexpected that catches your attention.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that this year at Gamescom, it’s all about expansion! For the very first time ever, we’re expecting an incredible lineup of over 1,500 exhibitors hailing from no less than 72 countries across the globe. And guess where? Right here in the heart of Cologne!
As a passionate gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but marvel at the phenomenal growth of Gamescom, its impact on the global gaming industry truly resonates with me. This year, we have heavyweights like Bandai Namco, Capcom, Ubisoft, Xbox gracing us with their presence, and it’s a thrill to see newcomers such as Atari and Roblox making their debut at Gamescom for the first time, setting up their own booths. The excitement is palpable!
Additionally, some previous collaborators are making a comeback this year following a brief hiatus. These include Asus, Calypso, Marvelous Europe, and Nintendo.
At Gamescom, there’s an abundance of top-notch partners and exhibitors, which not only increases the variety but also expands the event itself. Moreover, a new milestone has been set as Gamescom will now occupy a staggering 233,000 square meters – that’s over 30 full-sized football fields!
At this year’s Gamescom conference, the appearance of the eagerly awaited game Hollow Knight: Silksong at the Xbox booth has undeniably attracted a great deal of interest – and not just from our own Gamescom preview!
Tim Enders, another significant executive involved with Gamescom, commented on the news: “It’s fantastic that Microsoft, along with us, announced Silksong. This means Xbox is showcasing such a game at Gamescom, which undoubtedly attracts international interest. It increases audience enthusiasm and interaction. Therefore, this news indeed carries significance.
It’s significant to note that over 1,500 exhibitors are present on the exhibition floor not only because of the products they display, but also because Gamescom is multifaceted. Beyond being an event for our shows, it serves as a platform for community engagement in various sectors and domains as well.
At this year’s Gamescom, diversity will reach new heights, making it more inclusive than ever. It goes without saying that a variety of games should be showcased at events like Gamescom.
