Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live kicks off Gamescom 2019

Geoff Keighley will start Gamescom 2019 with a presentation called Opening Night Live.

Livestreamed from 4.00 am AEST on 20 August, the show “will air live in front of more than 1,000 fans in Cologne, Germany to give gamers worldwide an overview of what to expect during Gamescom week,” its organisers advised. The english program “will feature announcements from major game publishers and independent developers, world premieres of new game footage and special guest appearances from the stars of the gaming industry.”

“Gaming is a shared passion around the world, and every time I attend Gamescom I am energized by the passion and excitement from the community in Cologne,” Keighley said of the new partnership. “The team and I are thrilled to be in Europe this summer to produce this show and share Gamescom with the global video game audience.”

More information on the Gamescom 2019 Opening Night Live livestream will be shared in the lead-up to the event. Gamescom itself takes place in Cologne, Germany and runs over 20-24 August (or 21-25 August here in Australia).

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
