Everything announced at Opening Night Live, Gamescom 2025
It’s Gamescom Opening Night Live time, and that means Geoff Keighley’s back and ready to dish out loads of gaming news and information. As part of the presentation, Keighley and the crew behind Opening Night Live took to the stage with brand-new trailers, announcements, reveals, and more, kicking off this year’s Gamescom event in Germany. You’ll find a complete list of everything announced during the showcase below.
A new trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops 7
First up, there was a cinematic trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops 7. The trailer, set in the year of 2035, showed a world under the grip of terrorism, where militarised police and soldiers take to the battlefield in both the real world and what appears to simulated, topsy-turvy versions of Los Angeles, Angola, Tokyo, Alaska, and somewhere called Avalon (a ‘living, breathing space that evolves with the player’, per the devs).
The trailer also seemed to tease some sort of Zombies mode called ‘Arcade Zombies’ which is a top-down, action-RPG style experience that’ll be added to this year’s CoD. You’ll be playing as series veteran David Mason, who’s deployed alongside the ‘Guild’, a tech-startup inspired group that apparently calls itself ‘humanity’s last stand’. Hm.
