If you’re hoping Sony will take Gamescom seriously this year, you have nothing to worry about.
Sony did well at E3, and appears to be going just as big for Gamescom, Europe’s E3 equivalent. Gaming insider Tidux posted the following on Twitter:
#Gamescom ranks almost as high as #E3 internally at #Sony, #Gamescom will be the most important Games Convention soon. #PS4
Sony debuted LittleBigPlanet 3, a re-release of Grim Fandango, From Software’s Bloodborne, and even new footage of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End at E3 this year. That’s not even including the third-party games which took up most of its press conference. If Gamescom is even half as good, it’ll be a great success.

Sony’s game line-up for Gamescom shows that it’s putting money where its mouth is. Big games including Driveclub, The Order: 1886, and even Bloodborne will be on the show floor. If you’re a spectator, you’ll have plenty of new gameplay to check out. If you’re attending, you’ll have more to play than time permits.
As you might suspect, big announcements will be made during Sony’s Gamescom press conference. Sony has a few European first-party studios, including Media Molecule, that have unknown projects in the works. You can bet that the PS4 roster is about to get a few great additions.
