Trailers Featured at gamescom Opening Night Live (August 25)
- The Defiant — Developed by Hoothanes, "The Defiant" is a story-driven, cinematic first-person shooter set in the Asian theatre of World War II, placing players in the midst of China's War of Resistance, a vast and brutal conflict that has remained largely unexplored in interactive entertainment. Built in Unreal Engine 5 by a veteran team of filmmakers and game developers, the game moves fluidly between stealth infiltration, close-quarters firefights, sniping, and large-scale assaults, and features firearms recreated as historical artifacts.

- Showa American Story — Developed by NEKCOM, "Showa American Story" is a genre-blending action RPG and an enthusiastic love letter to 1980s pop culture and cult classic B-movies. Players take on the role of 19-year-old stuntwoman Chouko on a journey of truth and revenge across an alternate North America reimagined as an unofficial colony of Japan, combining fast, free-flowing combat with deep customization of the RV she calls home.

- Genigods: Nezha — Developed by Genigods Lab, "Genigods: Nezha" is a hardcore single-player action RPG, built in Unreal Engine 5, rooted in the chaos of ancient Chinese genesis mythology.
