With Gamescom Opening Night Live 2020 just a few days away, organiser and veteran hype master Geoff Keighley has shared a few additional details with regards to the online event. For starters, 38 different games will be shown across roughly two hours. That sounds like a particularly meaty showing, but Keighley warns that most of these titles have already been announced. As such, you can expect a lot of updates.
Still, we're expecting a decent event. Last year's Opening Night Live was a bit hit and miss, but without E3 here in 2020, it's likely that a lot of publishers will have been waiting on showcases like this to promote their upcoming games.
Anyway, the event's set for this Thursday, and you can find all of the necessary dates and times through this link. We'll be hosting the show live here on Push Square, but do you have high hopes? Give us a hype check in the comments section below.

I think/hope we're going to get extended gameplay footage of one of Sony's PS5 games.
Was this the event last year that Sony sneakily overshadowed with it's 'we've brought Insomniac' announcement? Maybe Sony will be nice and give them some gameplay to make up for it.
@get2sammyb quantum error will show up.
so that's atleast 1.
would be nice if they showed a release date for demons souls to confirm if it's a launch window game or not.
Not sure I'll bother wasting my time tuning in live, usually these things are full of meaningless waffle from Keighley himself and his inevitable hyperactive and totally pumped guests... who aren't totally being paid to be overly enthusiastic at all. If there's any worthwhile footage / news I'm sure I can just find it later on.
Since Shogun is too lazy to copy and paste it himself.

Kinda haven't watched too much yet this year so if I'm around Thursday afternoon I can watch for a couple of hours. Was kinda hoping Nintendo would announce a Direct today for Wednesday to get the excitement going but no such luck. If they announce 1 Wednesday for Friday I suppose I would still watch this, probably not a lot of crossover, though Geoff does seem to like Reggie, maybe Zelda BotW 2 will put in an appearance?
They've still got sonys super secret uncharted studio to show haven't they?
@get2sammyb I’m hoping for a Sonic Adventure-esque game for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X and PS5.
@nookie_egg Yeah! But I imagine that would be saved for a Sony specific event.
@get2sammyb Ps5 centric State of play has gotta be coming up soon I'd have thought.
I'll be working during the opening but I'll be sure to check the site for news. Curious to see what will be announced and shown.
Football Manager 2021 on the PlayStation 5......fingers crossed.
Will there be a live chat here and what is the time for this?
@AFCC The article linked in this very piece answers both those questions: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/08/when_is_gamescom_opening_night_live_2020
@LiamCroft aww thanks! I wish it was 1 hour later but oh well...
After most of the other "events" this summer have disappointed (besides Sony's) I have zero hopes. Wow me, please.
