Geoff Keighley has confirmed seven of the games that will be shown during Opening Night Live on Tuesday.
In a tweet, Keighley listed big hitter Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (Black Ops 7 just had a number of key details leak ahead of the show) alongside other Microsoft-owned games The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, and World of Warcraft: Midnight.
Sony is showing up with the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive Ghost of Yotei, and Capcom has the hotly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem. Elsewhere, Konami’s Silent Hill f is on the ONL list.
This is on top of an appearance of Fallout Season 2 in some form (a debut trailer would be nice), and a Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 music performance.
While it’s not on Keighley’s list, Game Science has confirmed its blockbuster action game Black Myth: Wukong will be at ONL. Whether that’s to show an Xbox release trailer (it hits Xbox Series X and S on August 20) or to finally reveal DLC is unknown at this point, but fans sure hope it’s the latter.
And we also know Lords of the Fallen 2 will be revealed at ONL, via a developer tweet.
Of course, given Hollow Knight: Silksong is confirmed playable at gamescom next week, there’s much hope and anticipation that the game will finally get a release date at ONL. For now, Keighley hasn’t mentioned it.
