It’s been a few days since the Opening Night at Gamescom 2021, and it’s taken me a while to fully wrap my head around the quality of the releases set for the next six months. I sat for two or so hours ceaselessly astounded, enthusiastically impatient to try these games myself. What a night! A few unexpected arrivals: I didn’t expect to see Deadmau5 and his Oberhasli virtual world to make an appearance at Gamescom, but the evening was all the better for it. A lot took place at the Opening Night – too much to remember, hence why I am here to compile a list for you of the most salient announcements made at Gamescom 2021 Opening Night!

The Game Played Through Crosshairs - Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2
Joel GunnerAug 19, '21
Imagine you are relaxing on a beach in the Bahamas, sipping on a Pina Colada and working on your tan. Life is good. The phone rings abruptly, interrupting your convalescence: it’s the Controller asking you to travel to Lebanon in order to prevent a major world war. Bit terse if I am honest, but that is exactly what transpired in the vacation diaries of Raven, a sickeningly brutal hooded rifleman who acts as the protagonist of the CI Games’ recently released title: Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2. The sixth addition to the series, CI Games have a good idea by now what fans love and expect from the Sniper Ghost Warrior saga. Originally released on the 4th June 2021 for most consoles, the same-priced Elite Edition (additional weapons) of the game comes to the PlayStation 5 on the 24th August after several weeks of re-development.
