The name "Swords Of Legends" does not exactly cultivate intrigue. File it alongside Legendary Sword, Sword Legends, Legend of Sword, and Sword: Legends under "game titles that would put me to sleep even if I were being steadily electrocuted". Having visited the official site for Swords and watched the Chinese announcement trailer, I have come up with some alternative, vastly superior English titles: 1) My House Is Unaccountably Peckish, 2) Can I Play Football With This Boss's Detachable Head, 3) A Kingdom For My Horsebro, and 4) Did That Mountain Just Sideeye Me.

Gamescom 2025 begins today, Tuesday August 19th, with Opening Night Live - the annual livestream showcase of trailers, teasers and release date announcements, in which helpless videogames are dragged on-stage and hacked into 90-second gobbets by Geoff Keighley.

You can watch Gamescom Opening Night Live on this very page, care of the below video embed. The show starts at 2pm EDT, 11 am PDT, 7pm BST and 8pm CEST, and should last around two hours, because that's approximately as long as the summoning magic can keep Geoff bound to our mortal plane. There's also a pre-show at 1.30pm EDT, 10.30am PDT, 6.30pm BST, and 7.30pm CEST, but nothing noteworthy ever happens in those. Prove me wrong, host Kyle Boseman!
