FULL STORY ======================================================================Get notified of updates Hello everyone!

Dash here to welcome you to the start of our Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 coverage. There's just under an hour to go until the show, so prepare for a steady stream of updates as things get into gear. 2026-08-25T17:20:10.380Z
The stream is live right now, but there's nothing showing... Yet! (Image credit: gamescom) The Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 stream is currently live, but there's not much to see so far. There's a simple welcome screen
with a black background and a countdown until the pre-show, which starts in
15 or so minutes. 2026-08-25T17:22:05.980Z What is the Gamescom pre-show? Opening Night Live 2026 is the main event, but there's also a half hour pre-show that will kick off very shortly.

Although I think that it will mainly focus on the Gamescom event and general hype around the show, I expect a few trailers to appear so we might get the odd announcement or two. 2026-08-25T17:23:43.846Z Our the first Opening Night Live 2026 leaks in?

Guide have spotted what appears to be some cover art for an as of yet unannounced Worms game on social media.

Could this be something that is revealed at the show tonight? We'll have to wait and see... 2026-08-25T17:26:56.874Z Another possible leak here, this
time highlighted by popular gaming personality 'Wario64'.

Apparently Humankind 2 has been listed in the Steam backend, which would presumably be a sequel to the 2021 strategy game.
