Gamescon is a conference known around the world by gamers. This year, the giant video game conference was held in Germany for developers around the globe to show off their newest games to the crowds of fans eagerly awaiting the releases. This conference came just a couple of months after E3.
What made this year’s conference more special is that it was streamed online during the opening night. This broadcast ended up having at least 50,000 people tuning in to watch. Microsoft, Nintendo and Google are the first corporations to make a pre-show announcement regarding their newest trailers and game releases.
Nintendo announced they will be releasing 29 indie games for their Switch console. Google announced they will be adding many new games to Stadia, their Cloud streaming platform. During the opening ceremonies, there was a sequel announced for the “Kerbal Space Program” by the Interactive Private Division called Take-Two. This is a simulation-based game that allows players to take space flights. The PC version of the game will be coming out next year. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will be coming out the following year.
There was good news for gamers who love “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.” The game is going to be getting a new gun fighting game mode that will pit two online players against each other. This additional mode will allow players the ability to try out the beta version on PlayStation 4 this weekend. The game will be fully released on October 25th.
Hideo Kojima is a world-known game designer who works on video games. He made an appearance at Gamescom to talk with fans about a game they are highly anticipating. The game is called “Death Stranding” and is a horror game the designers and creators have been keeping details about under wraps.
During the video game conference, Kojima released three videos giving an idea about what the game is about. It was revealed that the game is going to revolve around ghost babies. The main character’s name is Sam and he is who the game players are going to control. The role of the game is to care for the ghost babies and comfort them while going about the day.
The game designer also revealed another character who has a sad backstory regarding giving birth to a baby while in another world. She remains in a dark room and pretends to feed the baby and offer it comfort. This game was a direct collaboration between Sony and Kojima.
