There have been rumors of a sequel to a Microsoft owned IP but not made by MS, curious what that will be.

They gonna rehire Bungie to make a new Halo lolol

[Cantih]

Shadowrun would have been nice, but that was already rejected.

All I remember was this being the most painful thing to watch last time it came around.

Gamescom pre-show starting shortly at any rate.

[6souls]

Not at home, but it looks like I'll have plenty of content to dig through.

[Xno Kappa]

Lmao I kinda wanna replay Pragmata just for that Megaman and Roll skin.

Didn't expect a Rock Band like game to make a return. Called Stage Tour.

Some of the OG Guitar Hero guys involved as well, which kinda sucks for me since I prefer the Rock Band guitar button layout these days more than the Guitar Hero one they're going with.

So far for this show

Spoiler: show

It's been extremely 'eh for me. Was more interesting things show during the pre-show than the actual show just being 90% "Unreal Engine 5 realistic graphics" action/Souls-games, and gatcha anime games.

Never played Heroes of Might and Magic but the remake of III looks sick

[Odesseiron]

IMO this is one of the weakest showings I have seen in a while.

[Tyrath]

Free remaster upgrade of Witcher 3 Sep 2026

[Gokulo]

3 is a pretty legendary game in certain circles. Wonder how the remake will pan out.

Anyway, I guess it's finally time to seriously play W3 lol

[Tyrath]

Wait until Sep 29 for the remaster update

[Gokulo]

Wait until Sep 29 for the remaster update

Well yeah, I meant after that drops :D

Really is

[Tyrath]

Yeah, mostly just new trailers for known stuff. But like, the fall is stacked and then we have GTA VI. I wasn't expecting much new announcements
