Gamescom 2019 - Games Shortlist

Unlike the E3, where previously unknown games lead the way, gamescom is a feast mainly for titles that players already been heard of. However, also in Cologne, developers and publishers put their carefully hidden cards on the table, presenting games that were previously kept under lock and key. Since there are many titles that will be on display at the German trade fair, we have prepared a comprehensive summary of the most important titles. Of course, we still do not know about many things, so with time, the list will be updated (as the exhibitors reveal the so-called "line-ups").
