The ‘dance’ will once again begin with the inaugural Gamescom Opening Night Live event a day earlier on August 23, hosted by Geoff Keighley of The Game Awards and Summer Game Fest.
The Unboxholics team will be traveling to Cologne to bring you what’s on the Xbox booth, as well as all the other announcements, experiences and surprises the gaming expo has in store.
