15 Best Trailers of Gamescom 2025 (So Far)

E3 may be dead, but Gamescom lives on. Every year The Game Awards host extraordinaire Geoff Keighley descends on Cologne, Germany to bring together a host of trailers, announcements, and cool stuff related to video games in one place: Gamescom.

Thankfully, 2025 is no different, and we got a host of trailers for a bunch of upcoming projects. Now, we’re not IGN, and don’t have the capacity to cover every single thing that dropped as part of the official livestream—but we did want to highlight some of the most interesting and exciting stuff announced at Gamescom in 2025.

Keep in mind that this’ll get updated each morning this week as more is shown off, so feel free to come back each day and see what new stuff as been delivered. With that all out of the way, let’s check out all the best trailers from Gamescom 2025. I hope you like samurai and ninja, because there’s a lot of them.

1. Black Myth: Zhong Kui

• Developer: Game Science
• Release Date: tba
• Platforms: PC, “mainstream console platforms”

When Black Myth: Wuckong dropped in 2024, taking a big-budget dark fantasy approach to retelling the story of Sun Wukong, the main character of the famous Chinese novel Journey to the West (and the basis for Dragon Ball’s Son Goku), it took the gaming world by storm and proved that Chinese studios weren’t messing around.

Now, we know what they’re working on next: a follow up, Black Myth: Zhong Kui, telling the story of a “ghost-catching god who wanders between hell and earth”. Beyond that, we really know nothing. Game Science themselves confirmed the game is still in early development, and that they “have absolutely no idea” when it’ll come out, so don’t expect to see Zhong Kui any time soon.

2. Sekiro: No Defeat

• Developer: From Software
• Release Date: tba
• Platforms: Crunchyroll

Following in Castlevania, Onimusha, Nier: Automata and Devil May Cry‘s footsteps, From Software’s action masterpiece Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is getting the anime adaption treatment. Sekiro is one of my favourite games of the past decade, taking all the skill checks of From’s Dark Souls series and adding a captivating fantasy-feudal Japan setting to the mix.

I’m not entirely sure how well the show will capture any of that, but what little we’ve seen so far at the very least looks damn pretty. I can only hope the studio behind it is reaching out to VaatiVidya or Smoughtown for some guidance on the lore or the show will probably get torn apart by super fans online.

3. Enshrouded: Wake of the Water Update

• Developer: Keen Games
• Release Date: October, 2025
• Platforms: PC

Listen. I love Enshrouded. It’s one of the better survival games out there, and sits comfortably alongside Valheim as a fantastic way to spend a few hundred hours with your buddies. Since my group put the game down (after running out of content), developer Keen Games have added a bunch of new biomes, but later this year it’s adding a whole new element: water.

You’re Flameborn, so it isn’t clear how well you’ll mesh with the pools and swamps we see in the trailer, but being able to go diving into a submerged ancient temple grounds looks dope. While a proper 1.0 release date still eludes us, we’re at least getting a pretty tasty addition here. Check it out, if you haven’t already.

4. Silent Hill f

• Developer: Konami
• Release Date: 25 September, 2025
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series S and X

Silent Hill was all but dead only a few years ago. Now, on the other side of the hugely successful remake of Silent Hill 2, we’re staring down the barrel of a remake of the original game, a new Silent Hill movie (also based on Silent Hill 2, for some reason), and a brand new adventure through a totally different location in Silent Hill f. That’s important, mind you, as until now it’s all taken place in the geographical region surrounding the cursed town itself. In f, though, you’re in Ebisugaoka—a secluded town in Japan suddenly enveloped by fog.

Obviously, some horrific stuff starts happening, and school girl Hinako must survive the ordeal. Or, maybe she’s killing her friends? Honestly, who knows. You’ll be able to find out next month, though!

5. Fallout: Season 2

• Developer: Bethesda, Obsidian
• Release Date: 17 December, 2025
• Platforms: Prime Video

I’m not going to go too deep into this one, as we wrote a whole story dedicated to unravelling what could be going on in Fallout’s Season 2, which you can read here. Still, it’s really cool to see them find ways of merging plot points from Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, while also remixing memorable missions and scenes from New Vegas into this new canon. Seeing The Ghoul exterminate someone in the Dino Dee-lite motel while Lucy watches on from the nearby T-Rex statue is a nice little touch that kind of echoes the games, but also kind of doesn’t. Which is more or less what Prime Video has been doing with this whole series, actually.

Look forward to eight more episodes starting December 17, 2025.

6. Onimusha: Way of the Sword

• Developer: Capcom
• Release Date: 2026
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S

Where are we on the samurai and ninja count at this point? Onimusha is another series that came pretty close to dying a final death, but has been given new life in the form of a brand new entry. I’ll be honest, the first few trailers of Way of the Sword left me a little bit worried that the series was erring a bit close to the Souls formula, but this one shows off just how much the game is iterating on the original series’ combat style.

Plus, it looks really, really good. The demons in Onimusha have always been half-scary, half-hilarious, and I’m very glad to see that approach return here, and main character Musashi looks very fun to play as. Definitely one to watch in 2026.

7. Unbeatable

• Developer: D-Cell
• Release Date: 6 November, 2025
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S

We’re taking a break from games about ninja to share one about doing crime! In Unbeatable, music is illegal, and you are a band on the run. While you can explore an open world, and engage in some branching conversations with bandmates and friends, the star gameplay set-pieces are the rhythm action sequences, where you take control of Beat and fight to the beat.

Also, it’s entirely hand drawn. Like—the whole thing, which probably took a very long time. There’s a demo on PS5 and Steam right now, and the game comes out in November, so check it out!

8. Ninja Gaiden 4

• Developer: Team Ninja, Platinum Games
• Release Date: 21 October, 2025
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S

Another series that almost died and has been given new life, Ninja Gaiden 4 looks like Metal Gear Rising, Bayonetta and Nier: Automata fused together and put on a ninja costume, which makes sense considering Platinum Games and Team Ninja are making it. While you’re not playing as series hero Ryu Hayabusa, you take control of a new protagonist Yakumo with the aim of killing the Dark Dragon—whose revival has plunged Tokyo into some kind of cyberpunk chaos.

Does that make sense? Nah, but Platinum Games’ stories are barely ever the point of the game. You’re here for the gameplay, and boy does that gameplay shine.

9. Denshattack!

• Developer: Undercoders
• Release Date: 2026
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S

Somewhere between a rhythm game and a Tony Hawk’s stage, Denshattack! puts you in control of a train that grinds rails, jumps from track to track, hijacks a Ferris wheel and fights off against “mecha magical girls”, moving castles, and mechanical worms. Yeah, it’s a lot.

With an incredible art style, fantastic soundtrack, and a very memorable hook in playing a kickflipping train, Denshattack! looks like it’ll probably nail the landing when it launches next year.

10. Cronos: The New Dawn

• Developer: Bloober Team
• Release Date: 5 September, 2025
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch 2

Probably the last game I’d expect you to be able to pet a cat in, but here we are. Made by Bloober Team, the people behind the recent Silent Hill 2 Remake, as well as dimension-hopping horror game The Medium, Cronos: The New Dawn is looking like the culmination of everything the team has been doing for the past decade. So much so, in fact, that it kind of looks like a lot of great horror games mashed together.

There’s definitely some Dead Space vibes here, as well as Returnal, and with the otherwordliness of Silent Hill thrown in for good measure. You play as a time traveller going into the past to extract the essence of people of interest in the hopes of saving humanity following “the change”: an apocalyptic event where everyone on Earth vanished. And you can pet cats.

11. Ghost of Yōtei

• Developer: Sucker Punch Productions
• Release Date: 2 October, 2025
• Platforms: PS5

A follow-up to the amazing Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei puts us back in feudal Japan for a story of revenge and redemption. You play as Atsu, who seeks to murder the Yōtei Six who killed off her family. To do so, you’ll travel the land of Ezo (the historical name for what is now known as Hokkaido) to make allies, build your efforts, and, eventually, take your revenge.

While the game itself launches in October, it’ll also launch a free co-op multiplayer mode called ‘Legends’ in 2026, which will effectively allow you to start a samurai gang with your friends. You love to see it.

12. Resident Evil Requiem

• Developer: Capcom
• Release Date: 26 February, 2026
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S

Who puts a bag over someone’s head to suffocate them, only to stab them in the throat? Isn’t that unnecessary? Resident Evil Requiem doesn’t care.

We got our first taste of Requiem when it was revealed a few months ago, but here we get a good look at what is presumably a flashback from the POV of our hero, Grace Ashcroft. Here, the people after her mother, Alyssa Ashcroft, who originally appeared in 2003’s Resident Evil Outbreak, cut the power to the building and attempt to capture (or kill) the Ashcroft family. It’s a ‘gameplay trailer’ in the loosest sense of the word, but more Resident Evil is always welcome around here.

13. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

• Developer: Treyarch, Raven Software
• Release Date: 14 November, 2025
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S

Can you believe there’s been seven black ops games? Absolutely wild. We got a look at the upcoming shooter’s co-op campaign, which is taking a far more sci-fi, trippy lean than I was expecting, as well as the reveal that we’ve all been waiting for: zombies are indeed coming back—both from the dead, and to your screens.

History tends to remember that every time Call of Duty tries to do a ‘future war’ game, rather than something based on modern or historical wars, it ends badly. Not saying that’ll happen this time, but we’ll find out soon enough.

14. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants

• Developer: Machine Games
• Release Date: 4 September, 2025
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch 2

Not quite the indie games I usually play, but last year’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was a fantastic and cinematic game. It did a good job of delivering something that wasn’t just first-person Uncharted, like so many of us expected, and instead blended all the best of Machine Games’ previous work on Wolfenstein with the Harrison Ford classic.

And now we’re getting more. A story-based DLC, The Order of Giants, is launching next month, and will see Indi unravelling the work of a secretive cult while unearth ancient Rome’s biggest mystery. He’s a busy guy. Oh—and it’s all coming to Switch 2 in 2026.

15. Hollow Knight: Silksong

• Developer: Team Cherry
• Release Date: 2025
• Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch 2

Arguably Australia’s most important export (to me, at least), Hollow Knight dropped the gaming industry’s collective jaw when it launched in 2017. And now—eight years later—we’re finally getting a proper reveal of its much anticipated sequel Silksong. No more cope. No more clown makeup. No more doubters.

So far we’ve only seen snippets and teases, which you can see above, but I’ve embedded a link to Team Cherry’s own countdown livestream below. Unfortunately, it’ll kick off at midnight on Friday for us Aussies, but maybe it’ll be worth staying up for? Or maybe we’ll all get Rick Roll’d. Only one way to find out!
