Gamescom 2023 had an excellent start with Opening Night Live, hosted by The Game Awards creator, Geoff Keighley. It showcased several of the most anticipated titles coming to gamers in the near future, and presented announcements for brand new games. A plethora of new footage was exhibited on the first night in Cologne, Germany and as many are anticipating, this is likely just the beginning of the what is to come. FandomWire is working hard to get you the best information and updates on your favorite games as this annual event continues. Below are all of the announcements made on Day One of Gamescom 2023.
Gamescom 2023 Starts at Hyper Speed With Starfield Trailer
As the lights go down, Starfield composer, Inon Zur, comes out to the stage and starts off Gamescom 2023 by serenading the audience on piano. When he is finished, everyone’s attention is turned to the center screen as a live-action trailer for the upcoming game is played for the world. It shows a little girl being given a patch by a spaceman, before he boards his ship and takes flight. Rocket Man is played in the background. The trailer highlights spaceship dog fights and exhibits exploration in the title, and the crowd loves it.
It was certainly a strong starting point for the event, as Starfield is one of the most highly anticipated games this year. After the trailer was shown, Todd Howard appeared on stage for his first appearance at a Gamescom event.
