Attendees can go hands-on with all titles, including SAND LAND, which is playable for the first time in Europe, and Tekken 8.

Bandai Namco Entertainment has revealed its line-up for Gamescom 2023 in August. It includes FromSoftware’s Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, CyberConnect2’s Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm CONNECTIONS, Haemimont’s Park Beyond, SAND LAND and Tekken 8. Some “thrilling surprises” are also promised.

All of these titles will be playable by attendees, and given that Armored Core 6 launches on August 25th, it’s the perfect time to try it before buying. The expo also marks the first time SAND LAND is playable in Europe. Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm CONNECTIONS will show off its 1v1 Versus Mode, while Tekken 8 allows fights with other real players.

Gamescom 2023 ruins from August 23rd to 27th in Kolenmesse in Cologne, Germany. Xbox, Bethesda and Nintendo are confirmed for the show, while THQ Nordic and Sony will be skipping. Before the expo opens, Gamescom Opening Night Live will air on August 22nd, so expect plenty of world premieres and announcements.
