What we expect from gamescom 2025

gamescom is one of the largest gaming exhibitions in the world. In 2025, it will be held from August 20 to 24, and the opening ceremony will be on the 19th. They promise to make big announcements there. We have collected information about the games that will definitely be shown at the conference.

The ninth part of the series will take place in the ruins of Raccoon City, which was destroyed by a nuclear strike back in 1998. The main character of Requiem will be Grace Ashcroft, the daughter of Alyssa from Resident Evil: Outbreak. There are rumors that Leon Kennedy will act as the second character, but they have not yet been confirmed. We told you more about the new Resident Evil in a separate article.

Those who miss real-time strategy games can check out the fifth Sudden Strike. Its action will take place on the fronts of World War II in Europe and North Africa. To achieve success, you can rely not only on brute force, but also on various tricks, such as flanking maneuvers and sabotage. Commanders with special skills will play an important role in the gameplay.

In addition to Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom will bring a new part of the Onimusha series to gamescom 2025. It may be a nice gift for slasher fans, especially considering that Devil May Cry 6 has not been announced yet. We are promised a dark story and a dark fantasy atmosphere, where Medieval Japan and the mythology of the Land of the Rising Sun are combined.

Game from the Rebel Wolves studio, which consists of former employees of CD Projekt RED. Their debut project is connected with Balkan folklore. The main character is a half-vampire. During the day, he lives like an ordinary person, and at night he is forced to drink blood to avoid going crazy. The developers promise a variable story mode and a thick atmosphere. More information is in our article.

Anno 117 is aimed at fans of city-building strategies. This time, the action will unfold during the heyday of the Roman Empire. According to the developers, diplomacy now plays an important role, and you can achieve your goals both through economics and government decrees. Of course, both approaches have their pros and cons.

A new part of a series of dark platformers with puzzles and stealth episodes. You will play for Lowe, who uses a bow and arrows, and Odna, who uses a wrench. Character skills are actively used to solve puzzles, like in the classic The Lost Vikings. You can play Little Nightmares 3 both alone and in cooperative mode.

The Sixth and Seventh "Heroes" disappointed fans. But Ubisoft decided to release another part of the series. Olden Era will be a prequel to the whole story. Apparently, the fifth part of the series was chosen as a reference point. For example, units will have alternative development paths. At the release, we are waiting for six races, but over time their number will increase. The developers promise a non-linear single-player campaign and many online modes that are focused on eSports competitions.

The new MMORPG from South Korean NCsoft will feature dynamic battles with combo attacks and flexible upgrade options. They promise high-quality PvE content, PvP battles with other players and various daily tasks. The Unreal Engine 5 engine is responsible for the quality of the graphics. In addition to PC, the game will be released on mobile phones.

Turn-based strategy, which offers to take control of an entire empire. You need to wisely manage lands, build relationships with factions and manage large armies. They promise a reworked battle system with a synergy mechanic between squads.

Horror from Bloober Team, the creators of Layers of Fear and Silent Hill 2 remake. The plot revolves around time travel. The main character must travel to the past to save key people who will be important in the future. At the same time, he will have to fight monsters in close and long-range combat. We are promised a retro-futuristic setting in the spirit of the film "Alien" and the first episodes of "Star Wars", as well as references to Poland in the 80s.

Above, we talked about the projects that are guaranteed to appear at gamescom. Information about them is available on the official website of the exhibition. And in this list, we have collected those games that may appear at the conference, if rumors are to be believed:
