This mega-gaming event is Europe’s most important meeting place for publishers, developers, insiders, and retailers. And in this year’s Gamescom, Xbox is going ”all-out.”

This year, Xbox will offer to play three of the most anticipated games at the Xbox booth at Gamescom. Fans can’t wait to experience these titles firsthand. What else does Xbox have for us at Gamescom? 

Three Exciting Games at the Xbox Booth

This year’s Xbox booth at Gamescom will be a treat for all the fans. Xbox has decided to showcase three of the most hyped titles: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, Forza Motorsport, and Towerborne. Not just showcasing, fans can also play the games before their releases.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, developed by Ukrainian Game development Company G.S.C. Worlds, will be released in December 2023. This horror survival fps title is this franchise’s first in 13 years.

Forza Motorsport, developed by 10 Turn Studios, will be released on October 10, 2023. This racing simulator will be the eighth installment of this iconic racing game franchise.

And Towerborne, developed by Stoic Studios, will be released in 2024. In this online co-op title, as an Ace, you must protect the people of Belfry from the clutches of ferocious monsters.

Gamescom’s Opening Night Live section is known for “numerous world premiers and exciting announcements.” So, as there is an opportunity for first-hand experience of these upcoming titles, we can expect some significant announcements regarding these three in Opening Night Live, hosted by Geoff Keighley, the host and producer of “The Game Awards.” 

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Rising from the Ruins

Games always bring peace, with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 being a prime example. As G.S.C. Worlds is a Ukrainian-based development company, this game faced a heavy backlash during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russians allegedly attacked the studio, and the game’s development suffered a significant setback.

Although the studio transferred its many developers to Prague for peaceful and steady development of the game, Russian hackers still attacked the game. Because of the online attack, many of its in-game components were leaked in June. Though GSC Worlds claimed those leaked components were testing materials only and not for release.

But after all these obstacles, the game will be available to play at Gamescom 2023, which is a huge win not only for the studio but also for the gamers waiting for a long day to get their hands on the game.
