Microsoft detailed its gamescom plans today after promising to come back with its “biggest booth ever” at the annual trade show in Cologne, Germany. On August 22-25, gamescom attendees will be able to play over 50 games at the Xbox booth, win exclusive gamescom 2024 prizes, and more.
The upcoming Age of Mythology: Retold, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred, Ara: History Untold, Towerborne, Fallout 76: Milepost Zero, and The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road will all be playable across the more than 240 gaming stations on the booth. A couple of high-profile games from third-party developers will also be playable, including Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws, Studio Wildcard’s ARK 2, Saber Interactive’s Space Marine 2, Rebellion’s Atomfall. GSC Game World will also be offering a brand new demo of the much-anticipated S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which has been delayed for the fifth time to November 20.
