Microsoft Promises 25 New Games at Gamescom

This week Microsoft has begun building up to Gamescom, announcing that it has 25 games lined up, as well as some new accessories.

It had previously announced that new hardware was to be unveiled too, but the official blog post was quickly updated to quell any rumours that a more powerful Xbox One variant may be confirmed.

Tune in on Tuesday, August 21, at 4:30 p.m. CEST (7:30 a.m. PDT) for lots of news, new Xbox One bundles and accessories, and features on upcoming titles that we can’t wait to tell you more about and perhaps even a few surprises!

Not all of the 25 games will be brand new, as Microsoft have already confirmed that Forza Horizon 4 and State of Decay 2's Daybreak Pack will be available to play. We can probably expect something more from Crackdown 3, too.

An upgraded Xbox Elite controller has been rumoured for several months now, so we could also see an announcement of that.

Gamescom starts on Tuesday 21st August in Cologne, Germany, ending on the following Saturday.
