Gamescom Opening Night Live will kick off the annual European gaming convention once again on August 23. The event will be hosted by Geoff Keighley, who has teased over 30 world-premiere announcements throughout the event.
Opening Night Live 2022 will be the first live in-person ONL presentation since 2019, following two years of online-only livestreams. Tickets are available for those attending Gamescom in Cologne, Germany at the event’s official website.

Keighley has so far teased two announcements for the event: a new look at Sonic Frontiers from Sega, and the next game from Subnautica developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment, which is teased to be a “brand-new sci-fi IP.” We will update this piece as more announcements are teased leading up to the event.
