This week, one of the three events each year in which we’re routinely graced with the presence of Geoff Keighley took place, with Gamescom Opening Night Live kicking off the week-long convention in Cologne, Germany. A host of World Premiere trailers and other announcements came out of that, including the first teaser trailer for Borderlands 4. We round up all the announcements, break down that trailer, and have lots more from the week for you in the pages ahead, including a chance to familiarize yourself with a whole bunch of indie games that may not have been able to afford exposure at Opening Night Live, but are very much worth your attention.
