Gamescom: Opening Night Live is the flashy headline opening event added to the giant German games show back in 2019. And while Gamescom is once again an all-virtual event, that doesn’t mean that Opening Night Live is going to be any less exciting.
Geoff Keighley and crew will be back for a two-hour event later this month featuring plenty of gaming news, including new reveals and plenty of never-before-seen footage and gameplay.
Here’s when Opening Night Live starts, how to watch it live, and what to expect.
What time is Gamescom: Opening Night Live 2021?
Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event is due to take place on Wednesday 25 August 2021, kicking off a three-day program of Gamescom events. The fun is set to kick off at 20:00 CEST, which translates to:
- 19:00 BST
- 14:00 EST
- 11:00 PST
The event is set to run for a little over two hours, and although yet to be confirmed, there will likely be a pre-show that’ll kick off half an hour beforehand, as well as a post-show to dissect some of the biggest announcements.
How to watch Opening Night Live
While yet to be confirmed by the event organisers, the Gamescom 2021 opening night action live event is expected to be streamed via Twitch, alongside YouTube and the Gamescom website itself.
To make things even easier, we’ve embedded the live stream at the top of this page, so simply head back here on the night to find out the latest in the world of gaming.
What will be announced during Opening Night Live?
While specific details are yet to be confirmed, host Geoff Keighley has teased that the event will provide a “new look at this holiday’s biggest upcoming video games and what lies beyond”.
