<p>E3 might not have gone ahead this year, but in its place, there has been plenty of online events. We’ve had EA Play, Ubisoft Forward, a Nintendo Direct Mini, and many other broadcasts showcasing various upcoming games.</p>
<p>The next big event on the horizon is this year’s all-digital Gamescom show. As you might recall, it starts on 27th August (that’s next week) and will feature games from all sorts of publishers.</p>
<p>Geoff Keighley – the host of the opening ceremony – has now taken to Twitter to share the following video. He says the opening show will be a two-hour showcase, featuring over 20 games with brand new content – ranging from “next-gen stuff” to “indie stuff”, to the “biggest games in the world”. He’ll start revealing more about it tomorrow.</p>
