The second of the Keighley showcases is upon us with possibly the biggest game event of the year, gamescom ONL 2026. As fast as the curtain was called on Summer Game Fest 2026, gamescom 2026 is here, and for the entire week, reveals and showcases will coat the internet, giving players a good look at what’s to come for the next year in gaming. While we already have an idea of eight titles that will be making an appearance (including DLC from a title over 10 years old), gamescom ONL 2026 is prime for world premieres and surprises that will take the gaming world by storm for the remainder of the year and beyond.
Outside of the already exciting developments of The Duskbloods network test (that has since closed), award nominations for the showcase, and even a Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse voice cast reveal earlier today, gamescom ONL 2026 has brought the goods in the form of many trailers to get everyone hyped for the remainder of the year and even into 2028.
