Gamescom 2022 is already looming and the poster is looking better and better. Especially, with that characteristic blue of SEGA: the company of the supersonic hedgehog will not miss the German fair to present its next games between August 24 and 28, offer news about its most recent titles and, of course, tell us about the return of its pet on your next big adventure.
Through an official statement, SEGA confirms that it will not only be present at the Cologne Koelnmesse waiting to receive attendees in Hall 7, but also has broken down the games already announced that it will bring to Gamescom. Which does not mean that we can see some surprises during the opening gala.
From the start, Sonic Frontiers tops the list. We’re counting on the Gamescom 2022 kickoff gala, hosted by Geoff Keighley, to deliver a new trailer, but three initiatives have also been confirmed:
- Takashi Iizuka, the leader of Sonic Team will host a meet and greet on August 26.
- News related to Starfall Island, the game’s open world, will be offered
- In addition, those attending the fair will be able to try the game for the first time from the stand prepared for the occasion.
In addition to Sonic Frontierswhich is the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Sonic, SEGA continues immersed in the celebration of the 25 years of Personto ATLUS. This celebration will also take place at Gamescom 2022. We know that Persona 4 Arena Ultimax it will be possible to play at the fair and merchandising will be Shop ATLUSBut we haven’t forgotten that Persona 5 Royal and previous installments are coming to new systems, including Switch, PS5, and PC, as well as Game Pass.
And beware, that is not the only contribution that ATLUS and the series Shin Megami Tensei will make Gamescom: the RPG Soul Hackers 2 will be shown on the eve of its imminent launch, scheduled for August 26. Coinciding with the event itself! SEGA does not stitch without thread.
For its part, Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles will also be present and playable at the Koelnmesse in Cologne. We do not know if new DLCs or content will be announced, but it is clear that having the official video game of Guardians of the night It is a claim in itself for those who are passionate about anime. That said, SEGA’s plans for the German event go beyond Japanese clichés.
Western SEGA games will not miss the appointment
The present and future of SEGA goes through Gamescom, and that also includes the recently announced HYENAS, the new sci-fi first person shooter. We know that it will be present and promotional activities will be offered within the fair, but it is not ruled out that a new advance will be shown throughout the event. Especially if you want to heat things up between now and 2023.
The SEGA strategy division, one of the strongest and most celebrated points of the current company, will also be present, confirming that we will see content related to Company of Heroes 3an absolutely essential Total War: WARHAMMER III, a Humankind that will arrive on consoles on November 4 after reaping great numbers and the recently released Two Point Campus.
Considering that most of these strategy titles are either available on Game Pass or will be on Game Pass, there’s reason to think Microsoft will save them a few golden minutes at their own digital event. And despite the fact that SEGA has not confirmed at any time the presence of the new edition of Football Manager, those of us who have been following it for years are clear that it is time to talk about the new season.
The repertoire of confirmed games, which is not exactly little, is rounded off with Endless Dungeon the rogue-lite of Amplitude that gives continuity to the Endless series. In its Steam page It still does not have a release date, and the truth is that the German fair is the perfect showcase to put it on.
The current SEGA is much more than classic compilations, and Sonic Frontiers You have a great opportunity to convince all your fans. Those of always and those who knew him through cinema and television. The future of the icon and the emblematic company goes through Gamescom, and it must be recognized that they will arrive in Germany to put all the meat on the grill.
