Microsoft Announces Gamescom Showcase 8/24

Xbox has confirmed that it will hold a Gamescom stream on August 24, showing off "new looks at upcoming games".

Beginning at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK (that's 3am AEST on August 25), the showcase sounds as though it will focus on already-announced titles, and arrives the day before Gamescom officially opens with the Opening Night Live showcase on August 25. You can tune into all of Gamescom with us at IGN.

An Xbox blog post says the show will include, "in-depth updates from some of our previously announced Xbox Game Studios titles alongside some of our third-party partners, including some of the incredible titles coming to Xbox this holiday, upcoming releases to our monthly subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, and much more."

Xbox also said that it will hold a digital Xbox FanFest during Gamescom, with more details to follow on that. The company will also be running a sale through Gamescom (running from August 25-27), offering up to 75% selected titles.

This is the second Xbox showcase coming this month, after we got word that an ID@Xbox Twitch show will air tomorrow, August 10. That show is due to include new announcements and updates on long-awaited indie titles like The Artful Escape.

August 24th for Microsoft. Supposed to be just more of what they've shown already(Probably a new Forza and Halo trailer of some sort since they both release in a few months). I think Bethesda may be having their own showcase too?



Also tomorrow is the End of Summer ID@Xbox Indie Showcase

Should be a good showing, I don't expect much new but hopefully just some more footage of the stuff thats announced.

Wasn't Hellblade 2 announced at Gamescom the first time or am I wrong? Maybe we'll finally see a glimpse?

I'll have the stream on in the background. Expecting dozens of indie games for gamepass with a slice of Halo.

so a bunch of games as service type sh1t maybe some bullsh1t ubisoft game some halo and some old remaster nobody cares about

Limited Supply in times like this scream scalper, but to your point, I have 2 PS4 pros, 2 XB1Xs and XB1 Elite, so you might just be a guy who likes systems all over the crib too. Didn't know scalper is an insult

Indie showcase is tomorrow, they're getting it out the way


But sh1t I hope youre right, I love indie games too

We need more

Terrible co-op bugs aside, I enjoyed The Ascent. I need the heavy hitters from Xbox tho. Ima keep bi#ching til I see some Perfect Dark gameplay or a killer Instinct sequel announcement.

Hellblade 2 was at The Game Awards at the same time as the Series X reveal.
