Gamescom Opening Night Live has officially kicked off, bringing with it dozens of new trailers and deep dives into upcoming games, including Black Myth Wukong, Little Nightmares III, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and more. We go over the show's biggest announcements and discuss what we're most excited (and not so excited) to see in the year to come.
We'll also be talking about the newly unveiled Atari 2600+, how Sony's handheld gaming device Project Q now has a proper name and a price, and how the developers of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game have promised it will not face the same legal obstacles as their previous title, Friday the 13th.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the early history of North American video game game shows.
