#gamescom | All you need to know about the forthcoming Gamescom 2015

In the summer months, fans of video games with a sinking heart are waiting for only two major events: the first is the E3 exhibition in Los Angeles, and the second is the European Gamescom exhibition, traditionally held in the German city of Cologne. This year was no exception, and Gamescom 2015 will start on August 5, that is, on Wednesday. And the first news about gaming news will begin to appear on the Internet already tomorrow, so this event needs to be thoroughly prepared, in which I will be happy to help you.

So, what you need to know about the forthcoming exhibition to an unprepared gamer who by a strange coincidence has dropped out of public life and does not know at all which companies are participating in the event, and where exactly can they watch the online broadcasts of their conferences? Let's take everything in order.

The first this year will be representatives of the Swedish studio Nordic Games , which owns a huge number of franchises bought from other studios. For example, they own the rights to the games Darksiders, Destroy All Humans !, Red Faction, Arcania, Painkiller, Titan Quest, Legend of Kay and many others. What will surprise us Swedes - is not yet clear. But their conference should begin on August 4 (Tuesday) at 13:30 Moscow time. To date, there is no direct link to their conference on the Internet, but I'm pretty sure that such portals as www.gametrailers.com , will broadcast the event in real time. Another coverage of the event on the air is planned by the portal IGN , and you also need to periodically look at the official channel of the Gamescom exhibition on YouTube.

Following Sweden's colleagues this year will be the gaming unit of Microsoft Corporation. No wonder Phil Spencer has secured a demonstration of such major games of the company as Quantum Brake, Crackdown and Scalebound, for the German exhibition, instead of showing them at the past E3. However, games such as ReCore and Sea of ​​Thieves will not be shown to the general public. Apparently, they are at an early stage of development. Watch the Microsoft conference will be on the official website of Xbox . It will begin on August 4 (Tuesday) at 17:00 Moscow time.

What conference can do without EA publishing? Of course, we will not be able to avoid new information about the already orderly boring Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2, but there is in this and its pluses, because we probably will show new footage Star Wars: Battlefront. The beginning of the EA conference is scheduled for August 5 (Wednesday) at 10:30 Moscow time. You can watch live-video on the official YouTube channel of the company.

Blizzard has planned for Gamescom 2015 its own conference. Is it possible that they will show us something new, not just a dozen add-ons to existing games? But what am I talking about? It has long been known that it is at this exhibition that we are to be shown a new add-on to World of WarCraft. However, for this an additional event was planned, which will be held on August 6 (Thursday) at 19:00 Moscow time. And the main conference of the company will begin on Wednesday, August 5, at 13:00 Moscow time. You can see all this on official website .

Studio Hangar 13 , owned by the publishing house 2K, will show the public the first shots of the game Mafia III. Judging by the teaser, which recently surfaced on the Internet, the game will unfold in the 70s of the last century, and the plot will somehow continue the story of the second game. So far, nothing is known about this project, as, however, it is not known exactly where the broadcast of this event will be conducted. It is only known that the beginning of the conference is scheduled for August 5 (Wednesday) at 15:00 Moscow time.

A little later, Treyarch studio will show the gameplay of the new shooter from the endless series of Call of Duty with the subtitle Black Ops III. It will happen at 20:00 Moscow time. In addition, visitors to the exhibition will be able to see many new and already announced projects from a variety of publishers. In the game form we will be shown Dark Souls III, Final Fantasy XV, Syberia III from the legendary designer Benoit Sokal, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and much, much more.

Sony this year decided not to take part in the German exhibition, as it is as tightly laid out on the past E3. But this does not preclude the demonstration of some new games from its inner studios to the public. For example, it was officially announced that on Gamescom 2015 we will be told more about the incredibly beautiful project Horizon: Zero Dawn.

While nothing is clear with Nintendo . The sudden death of the president of the company, Satoru Iwata, undoubtedly severely damaged the morale of her employees. Nevertheless, the European unit Nintendo has officially announced its participation in the event. But specific information on what will be demonstrated to us has not yet been received.

I will try to keep you up to date with the main events of the exhibition and quickly publish on our website short reports about past conferences. Stay with us and you will not miss anything.
