Following the permanent closure of E3, Gamescom has now become one of, if not the, largest gaming convention in the world. With this in mind, Xbox and several other studios will want to bring their A-game for this event and captivate the audience with their latest upcoming titles.
Personally, the Xbox games I hope to see more of at Gamescom are the hack n’ slash co-op game Towerborne (which our Jez Corden gave a positive impression of at last year’s Gamescom), and DOOM: The Dark Ages, my personal favorite Xbox title that was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 (and like Samuel Talbot, I still haven’t stopped re-watching its extremely impressive trailer).
My next most anticipated Xbox game at Gamescom (which is not published by Xbox Game Studios) is Monster Hunter Wilds, whose appearance was confirmed by the game’s official German X account.
As announced during Summer Game Fest, Monster Hunter Wilds will be available worldwide for the first time at Gamescom 2024! Visit our Capcom booth in Cologne from August 21 to 25, 2024 #MHWilds #gamescom2024 #MonsterHunter pic.twitter.com/zevJK5G7HZ!June 8, 2024
By the way, my next most anticipated Xbox game at Gamescom (which is not published by Xbox Game Studios) is Monster Hunter Wilds, the appearance of which was confirmed by the game’s official German X account. Not only will Capcom show more gameplay details, but Monster Hunter Wilds will also be playable for the first time for visitors attending the event.
With this exciting news, I can’t wait to see what Xbox, Capcom, and all the other game developers and publishers have up their sleeves when Gamescom 2024 opens from August 21, 2024 to August 25, 2024. Here’s hoping we get to see the public view the Monster Hunter Wilds behind-closed-doors gameplay preview we saw at Summer Game Fest 2024.
