Key Discussion Points & Predictions

The Gamescom Dilemma: Is It Ever a "Big Announcement" Show?

• The hosts agree that Gamescom ONL is less bombastic or surprising than other industry presentations.
  • Tim Gettys (06:25): “Gamescom is definitely the show that is hardest to predict because the least actually happens.”
  • Andy Cortez (06:42): “But all it takes them is one year...Two announcements that really sort of shake the world…”

Confirmed Games & Opening Conversation (05:30–07:00)

• Confirmed appearances:
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
  • Resident Evil Requiem
  • The Outer Worlds 2
  • Ninja Gaiden 4
  • Silent Hill F
  • Ghost of Yotei
  • World of Warcraft: Midnight
  • Amazon's Fallout S2 sneak peek

Prediction Highlights

Hollow Knight: Silksong—Is This Finally the Year? (07:33–12:35)

• Speculation runs wild after Geoff Keighley posts a “clown nose” meme (07:33).
• The team is split:
  • Andy Cortez: Skeptical, suspects misdirection: “I’m gonna say no, we are not getting Hollow Knight Silksong in this presentation.” (08:19)
  • Mike: Hopeful, betting that Silksong ties in with Xbox’s Rog Ally X: “I’m putting my money on yes...this is the moment.”
  • Tim Gettys (09:57): Declares a “pizza bet”—if the release date isn’t announced here or at the next Nintendo Direct, he’ll dress as a clown on the next Games Daily.
    • "I think it's here and I'm gonna say this right now... Hollow Knight Silksong release date will be announced either tomorrow or at the next Nintendo Direct...If not, I’ll dress as a clown." (09:57)

Marvel Mayhem: Multiple Character Announcements Incoming? (18:07–20:10)

• Tim Gettys: Predicts five new Marvel characters will be revealed across “Marvel Token Fighting Souls,” “Marvel Cosmic Invasion,” and “Marvel Rivals.” (18:07–18:39)
• The group has a spirited, comedic debate about setting the "over/under" for new Marvel character reveals.

Ubisoft's Next Move (33:13–35:11)

• Speculation on Ubisoft’s next game announcements given their absence at recent events.
• Blessing (32:57): Predicts Michael Ironside will appear on stage to tease a new Splinter Cell with only a minimal teaser. “You get the three green dots. Maybe a little bit longer, but you're not going to get anything more than that.”
• Possible appearances: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake.

Pragmata is... Mega Man?! (27:37–29:02)

• Wild theory discussed that Capcom’s mysterious Pragmata is secretly a Mega Man game.
  • Tim Gettys (27:37): “Pragmata is Mega Man. There’s been a lot of evidence. Feels like a crazy Grinch theory...but there's evidence. But it won't be officially revealed at Gamescom, just more obviously hinted at.”

Demos and Expansions (25:15–27:30)

• Predicting hands-on demos for big titles is in vogue:
  • Andy Cortez: Predicts Crimson Desert will get a gameplay demo soon on Steam.
  • General agreement that demos are "back" and an effective hype tool.

Additional Notable Predictions

• Mike: Battlefield single-player campaign showcase; Power Wash Simulator 2 with a Sonic crossover. (13:03–22:58)
• Blessing: Ghost of Yotei shows a new trailer, Erika Ishii will present on stage. (23:54–24:43)
• Tim: Crimson Desert gets release date (later edges with Andy’s demo prediction as more likely). (25:44)
• Mike: Diablo 4 second expansion is revealed, featuring cinematic trailer and Paladin class. (31:40)
• Blessing: Over 4.5 “Genshin-like” games will be featured, and protestors will appear on stage during ONL—a Gamescom tradition. (47:28–48:19)
• Andy: Armored Core 6 will get an expansion announcement—not a sequel, but something to keep the game lively. (41:18–42:45)
• Tim: Ace Combat 8 will be revealed with a full trailer—including catchy subtitle. (43:22–44:38)

    • "Thunder ray, Beta ray, Thunder ray."

Fun showcase of Princess Peach. I can't wait to see what this is. We are 11 person business all about live talk shows. You already got games daily talking all about Cory Barlog kind of you know what I mean? Did he do something? Does he have a Facebook? How many hearts does this man have?

[Tim Gettys]

Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney the Psalm Twining. Today we're brought to you by Factor Shady Race and Aura Frames, but with tell you about that later. For now, let's begin with the topic of the show. Gamescom Predictions Gamescom opening night live 2025 is upon us. Jeff Keeley has been out here yapping, yapping, yapping, yapping, saying all the things are going to be here. A lot of stuff is confirmed already. Call of Duty, Black Ops 7, Resident Evil Requiem.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We're reading through the thing, the things.

[Tim Gettys]

That they already announced.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But like what if I took some of those things and like massage them a little bit?

[Tim Gettys]

Well then that's a lazy prediction. And you know, Resident Evil Requiem, the Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, Silent Hill F, Ghost of Yote and World of Warcraft Midnight will all have a presence during Gamescom Opening Night Live. We'll also get a sneak peek at Prime Videos, Fallout Season two. So yeah, that's all the stuff that's confirmed to be there. So I feel tomorrow. Gamescom Opening night live Tuesday, August 19th at 11am There's a 30 minute pre show hosted by Kyle Bossman starting at 10:30. They're saying announcements will be there as well. So I feel like they're more than the past couple years. I would say we know a lot of what's going to be here. I feel like we kind of know this show and then it's like all right, maybe a couple announcements here or there. But we all know this. We've done this game a million times. We predict State of plays, we predict Nintendo directs, we predict Summer Game Fest, Game awards and we predict Gamescom. And Gamescom is definitely the show that is hardest to predict because the lease actually happens. Yeah know it's a very, very few consequential things in the past have happened at Gamescom. We get updates on great games like that list I just read like that's impressive. Like there's a lot of AAA greatness there and things that we want to see more of.

[Andy Cortez]

But all it takes them is one year.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. For that's it.

[Andy Cortez]

Two announcements that really sort of shake the the world and then we go.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Hey, man, dying light.

[Andy Cortez]

You know what I mean? Like it doesn't. The change doesn't happen until it happens.

[Tim Gettys]

And is it going to happen tomorrow, Andy?

[Andy Cortez]

I. I don't know. Maybe we'll get a Madden or something. I don't know.

[Mike]

So that's.

[Tim Gettys]

That is actually where I want to start this conversation because of course we each brought our five predictions that we're going to talk about here of what we do think will be here tomorrow. And again, maybe not the most exciting predictions episode based on the reality of. I don't think it's going to be the most exciting announcement show. But we got to start with the big one. I don't know who has on the list. We probably all have some variation of this, so let's just get it out of the way. Barrett, can you please bring up the link?

[Andy Cortez]

Man, I don't remember Biomutant being that ugly. It was. It was really shocking, man.

[Tim Gettys]

This morning at 10:20am, Jeff Keighley himself tweeted out first time with the clown emoji. See you tomorrow for Gamescom opening night Live. It's a picture of him with a clown nose on that is very reminiscent of a meme that we've seen invoking the Knight himself. Hollow Knight. Sir Hollow Knight. Mr. Sir Hollow Knight in a clown outfit. Is this confirmation that we're getting a release date for Hollow Knight? We know it's playable. We've seen the Nintendo booth being set up for demos of Hollow Knight. Silksong. We know that the Roger Ally X is going to feature this as well.

[Mike]

Playable at the Xbox booth on PC.

[Tim Gettys]

They said, andy, is it time?

[Andy Cortez]

I think if. If Keely's doing this thing where he's like confirming, no, not gonna be there. If he's like doing, then I think that like, you can get it. You can fall into like a little boy Cry wolf situation where it's like, no, you can't. You can't do that. Because then how do we ever trust any sort of future tweet from you that says, hey, no, we're not gonna get, you know, Metal Gear Solid six here or whatever or. Or Half Life three that's not gonna be here. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say no, we are not getting Hollow Knight Silk songs in this sort of little presentation.

[Mike]

Mike, I want to say yes because there's just so little time before the the announcement slash release of this Xbox Raj Ally X. So where else would this be that would be of significance? The team is big enough that they could just put out a tweet and we would all celebrate that trailer just by itself. But this is the showcase. This is the moment that to lead us up to whatever this release date is if it coincides with the Xbox handheld or if it's before that. But I'm putting my money on yes, it will be there and it's finally time to show it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Plus I mentioned on a KHD within the last few weeks that I will no longer be predicting things about Hollow Knight Silk song. However, in one of my predictions I do say that in a high profile indie game will launch on October 14th. A high profile indie game two days before the Rog Ally Xbox Ally launches.

[Tim Gettys]

I want to let you know from the bottom of my heart, I respect you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Thank you.

[Tim Gettys]

You know, thank you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I appreciate it.

[Tim Gettys]

That is a good, good prediction. I I think it's here and I'm gonna say this right now. It's a pizza bet against myself. Hollow Knight Silk song release date will be announced either tomorrow open night live or at the next Nintendo Direct. Mm. I think it's gonna be tomorrow though. And if I'm wrong that it's not one of those whenever it is announced somewhere else the next games daily I will dress like a clown. Okay.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right.

[Andy Cortez]

All right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I like.

[Mike]

I love this.

[Tim Gettys]

So predictions. I'm putting that out there. I going into this episode was not gonna mention Hall. No, I wasn't. That wasn't gonna be one of my predictions. This tweet to me makes me think it's there. There's so much evidence of the game existing first off. No being playable first off.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But.

[Tim Gettys]

But its presence at Gamescom and the way that it was phrased about the release of the the Ally X and not that that means because Xbox before said all these games are coming out in the next year and that didn't happen for this game. But then marketing Hollow Knight alongside the Ally I think that that's telling it being playable. All that Gamescom and Hollow Knight are going together. Jeff Keeley doing this leaning in like this I to Andy's point but on the opposite end I don't see him trying to get this smoke. He's trying to get more people to like these conferences from him specifically Gamescom needs a little bit of help. I don't think that he says, see you tomorrow. If it's not going to be here really quick.

[Andy Cortez]

Bander SN just sent us this. Apparently Jeff posted this September 24, 2024 Sora and the same clown get up asking first time, did something with Kingdom Hearts happen, like the next day or something?

[Tim Gettys]

Or was September 24th, would that have been Tokyo game show time? Which is not a Keely thing, obviously. And nothing happened there.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Why was he saying this on September 24th?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

We need to get to the bottom of this.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We need to get to the bottom.

[Tim Gettys]

Check Cory Barlog's Facebook.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Jeff Keighley friends with Cory Barlog.

[Andy Cortez]

What's this Cory Barlog thing?

[Tim Gettys]

The old ch.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, you gotta watch.

[Tim Gettys]

Long story short, Andy, it's a rumor of somebody found a Facebook post from apparently Cory Barlog's Facebook. But the real question is, is it really his Facebook of him saying that they're working on some a new game that's technically ambitious and it's like, all right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Then Greg said it's probably his. Greg says, probably true.

[Andy Cortez]

Wow.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Probably real. That's a quote.

[Tim Gettys]

The Hollow Knight stuff is. It's interesting, right? Like, it's just for him to do this about his own show and say, see you tomorrow. I'm gonna be real upset with you, Keely. If it's not there, I'm gonna feel betrayed.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But he says first time because we always do this.

[Andy Cortez]

I know he's making fun of this.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

He's making fun of us. Yeah, I agree with him, but.

[Andy Cortez]

Or is he not referencing the silksong meme and he's referencing this specifically?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That'd be hilarious.

[Andy Cortez]

That'd be hilarious.

[Tim Gettys]

Somebody gets to the bottom of the September 24th. Where were you on September 24th? Let's get to our first predictions here. Mike, let's start with you.

[Mike]

Yeah, I wrote down a couple. Tim. I have some, like, low ones that are like, oh, if that happens, that's cool. Not a big deal. I got some mild ones that would be kind of exciting. And then of course, the high profile ones. So I'll start with some low ones. I'm going to go with my two. Like, if that happens, people will be like, that's fine. The first one is an easy one. I believe that EA and the Battlefield Studios team will return after their two big weekends of their recent beta testing and they will showcase more details on the single player campaign. Of course, this is kind of home court advantage for part of the team from Battlefield Studios. They are riding high off of those two beta weekends. Better way to just continue to keep the hype going into early October than showing off the single player campaign. We know about Portal. We. We know about multiplayer. Let's show off that story that's really going to push that full package that we want from Battlefield. So I'd like to see Dagger 1 through 3. That's the story team kind of debut on that one. Maybe we see some actors come out on stage and showcase the team.

[Tim Gettys]

Michael Ironside.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Michael Ironside.

[Tim Gettys]

I like that prediction, dude. I think it's solid. You have good evidence there too.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. If we were to get some sort of big reveal at the campaign with cutscenes and giving us a little glimpse as to what the hell this story is, that would be really, really awesome.

[Mike]

Yeah, I don't think we will see Firestorm, which is the battle royale. I think we will wait on that until probably February. In my mind. A perfect world. We get that February after the cooldown of the release window. Get the player base back up. But probably if I had to guess, I bet you it's February Showcase, July or June re. June release to get the summer gamers in. But that's my Battlefield low. I don't think that's going to blow the world off. But people will be excited about that.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I like it. Bless.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Dispatch. It shows up. It gets a release date for February. It gets delayed out of 2025. How much is that?

[Andy Cortez]

Is wishful thinking. Oh.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like it actually comes out.

[Andy Cortez]

I have it. Oh, oh.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wishful thinking for the fantasy critic. I was even thinking about Fantasy Critic. That's more so me wondering why we haven't gotten the release date.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yet. Right. I feel like that's something that we should have gotten during summer games.

[Andy Cortez]

Probably going to be next year. And it makes me really sad.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think getting into us being this late in August and not having a date for a 2025 thing means that you're probably for a game like this, I think you're probably going to see it get pushed. But also played the demo and that demo runs well. That demo is a fucking awesome thing. Right. And I think based on where it seems to be at off that demo. Like I don't get the vibe of like, oh, this thing's never coming out or oh, this thing needs a whole lot of work. But I could see it. Yeah. Just slipping in. Slipping a few months and not being able to hit the 2025. And also think February. I say also because for any prediction for 2026, you gotta. You gotta build in room between whatever game you're putting out and GTA 6, which is May. Which is May.

[Mike]

So.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Mike]

February seems like a good spot for this for now. It's kind of a packed window here as we close out the year. So a game like this that has the opportunity to be really special and stand out. I kind of like that early 2026 window would be great.

[Andy Cortez]

Do you think we'll get any sort of. Not just release date, but hey, check out. We also have this other new. This other actor that we're sort of.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, that'd be sick.

[Andy Cortez]

Like a way to kind of.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Michael Ironside. I mean, do we. We know all the voices for the main cast of superheroes, right? I don't know if there's anybody left on the table for them to announce in a major role.

[Andy Cortez]

Have we gotten any like villain stuff yet? Is there an antagonist?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, you know, that's a really good question.

[Andy Cortez]

Michael Ironside.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Michael Ironside.

[Tim Gettys]

Heard it here first, Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

The few I have are kind of. Kind of boring. Sorry, I just legitimately been so out of the loop. But I feel like it's time to get some sort of announcement for Marvel Rivals on Switch to some. Some sort of thing going. The game is still. It's. It's wild. Me going back home hanging out with my nephew and him just being all over Marvel Rivals because I just thought it was all about, of course, you know, Roblox, Fortnite, Call of Duty, all that sort of stuff. Marvel Rivals is. It's massive amongst the youngins. I don't know if you know that blessing, okay. Because to me it's like I'd always try to like, hey, Overwatch. Right. But it's just that game style I didn't think really resonated the payload, the capture, all that. I thought it was just battle Royales or nothing, but the same with my. One of my best friends and his kids and their friends all about Marvel Rivals. I think that we should get some sort of announcement. Not that we will get it, but I would like to see some sort of like. All right, we're dropping Marvel Rivals 2 with this new season whenever that happens. Available on Switch 2 only. No, Switch 1 can't run that shit. Yeah, we saw the way Mortal Kombat 1 looked on that.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm going to stick with Marvel for my prediction. My first one, Marvel baby. No less than four new characters will be announced across Marvel Token Fighting Souls and Marvel Cosmic Invasion.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, okay.

[Tim Gettys]

So I don't know where. I don't know how it's going to be divided, but no less than four characters announced in those two games.

[Mike]

You want to bring in rivals and up at the six.

[Andy Cortez]

I like how double that double.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Down five over.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm going to go five, then five.

[Mike]

Okay, you go.

[Tim Gettys]

My locked in prediction between our three games, five new Marvel characters announced between those three bringing up.

[Andy Cortez]

Do you want to just say like that you set the over at four and a half?

[Tim Gettys]

Yes.

[Andy Cortez]

Because if it's six or seven, five and a half.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You know what I mean? Five and a half.

[Mike]

He's under. We go over. Because we'd have to go opposite of him.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Well we'd say under five and a half.

[Tim Gettys]

He was no less than five. Okay, so four I'll never understand.

[Mike]

Over and under.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay, guys, you say something. I say yeah, you know Doctor who.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Four and a half is what we're doing then. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

What do you think? Do you want to like.

[Tim Gettys]

I, I don't know.

[Andy Cortez]

No, because I thought it was odd that obviously, you know that Thor character in. In Cosmic Evasion. But it's the alligator guy, whatever he is. What is he?

[Tim Gettys]

He's an alien, but yeah, I didn't.

[Andy Cortez]

Know that was real.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

I thought it was somebody from Invincible or something.

[Tim Gettys]

He was hinted at in Ragnarok. He's like one of the faces on like there's the grandmaster on the big like building. Oh, he's one of them.

[Mike]

Thunder ray, Beta ray, Thunder ray.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Bill that almost r up a porn star. What's the story in Marvel Cosmic Invasion?

[Tim Gettys]

Like why horse world Annihilation's coming. The annihilation almost horse wrestling.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Because we got Beta Ray. We got Silver Surfer. Who, who else we got? This is a group of misfits.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, it's a whole bunch of. I mean like they're get. We're getting to the misfit announcements here.

[Andy Cortez]

You know what I mean?

[Tim Gettys]

But cuz we already have Spider Man. We have Captain America Mike saying horse world.

[Andy Cortez]

I saw a tweet recently of a bumper sticker that said Horse Denier with a picture of a horse with the like the Ghostbusters cross out that said not real. Just made me laugh a lot.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Okay. No, we got Spider man here.

[Andy Cortez]

We got.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is that Magneto? That looks like Magneto. We got Storm. That's not Magneto.

[Mike]

That's Nova.

[Tim Gettys]

Nova.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Nova, I know Nova. And then who's this person in the back kill?

[Tim Gettys]

Ael.

[Mike]

Is he Sometimes I ain't with you.

[Tim Gettys]

It's the truth, man.

[Mike]

He knows so much Marvel. Did you Watch Guardians have no idea what's happening.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I didn't watch Guardians.

[Tim Gettys]

Remember the little girl at Guardians three that they save and then she like joins the team? Oh, yeah, that's her.

[Andy Cortez]

What was the little sound that Drax would do? He would do a little sound.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mookie.

[Andy Cortez]

Or out of one of these.

[Tim Gettys]

I forgot.

[Andy Cortez]

Y' all remember.

[Tim Gettys]

Y' all remember?

[Andy Cortez]

Let us know in the comments.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, man.

[Andy Cortez]

Phil LaBelle. That. I mean that's. That's an R B artist.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I listen to Philip bell in the 90s.

[Andy Cortez]

Or he's a backup shooting guard for the. For the Sacramento Kings. There we go.

[Tim Gettys]

Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

I said Mookie.

[Mike]

Yeah, I'm gonna stick with one more low. I'll give you a quick double. I'll give you a double because both of them are kind of low. One is just for Snowbike Mike. Of course. The Mega Cat Studios who have taken over Backyard Sports the franchise have come out and started to get the license for a lot of former MLB players leading to the re release of Backyard Baseball 01 which had the sports, actual MLB players in it. Hall of Famers and players that were playing at the time. So my selfish prediction is we showcase Backyard basketball with KG and all the players back then, which would be very special. They had Tim Duncan, kg, many others. That will not happen here. Just, you know, I want that to happen. I'll give you one that I do think will happen though. Power Wash Simulator 2 gets a release date and has a fun collab with Sonic. I think Sonic is hot right now. I'm trying to picture what they're watching. You have the Sonic Tails kind of.

[Tim Gettys]

Just blasted him down.

[Andy Cortez]

I don't like it.

[Mike]

You can't be. Give me. Give me blast in the furries like that. But I do think it's some sort of Sonic crossover would be fun. Maybe Dr. Egghead's cool stuff.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's.

[Mike]

That's maybe some tracks. But I do think Power Wash Simulator 2 will get dated here. This is time for us to see this. Of course Joey got the showcase and talk about a little bit of it.

[Tim Gettys]

But Egghead.

[Mike]

Dr. Robotnik. Don't they call him Egghead?

[Andy Cortez]

Eggman.

[Mike]

Eggman. I don't really like Sonic.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know Sonic.

[Mike]

So I'm just guessing.

[Tim Gettys]

This is. It's a good, good guess here. Cuz.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Sonic. Do be collabing.

[Mike]

What's fun, right? It's like spongebob came. That's awesome. What other cool collapse could you do?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Final Fantasy 7 happened.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So that's my Guess I just, I. I do find it tough to think what they're washing in the Sonic universe. Cuz Chemical Plant zone. Like what are the iconic locations? The tracks.

[Andy Cortez]

You got to keep the tracks.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

A chili dog stand. Maybe it is Tails plane.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tails probably would be that Robotnik's little hover machine thing that he's always flown in.

[Andy Cortez]

Think about all the mildew and stuff that grows around the little pool that big the cat jumps in in Sonic Adventure 2. Think about when he goes fishing.

[Tim Gettys]

Think about it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I never actually played Sonic Adventure 2 Sonic Adventure.

[Andy Cortez]

Me either. I just saw games got into great game Grumps playthrough.

[Mike]

So there's two just easy ones for you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I like it.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think it would have to be Chemical Plane zone. Is it my turn?

[Tim Gettys]

It is.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

As we know, Ghost of Yotei is getting a new trailer or at least it's showing up at the event. Erika Ishii comes on stage to introduce it and talk about the game. That's it. That's all I got.

[Tim Gettys]

Gamescom everybody.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, Gamescom. Because like that's my thing is I went through the rigmarole in my brain of what new can you show about Ghost of the Ote? And the problem is I think we've seen everything that we've needed to see. We've gotten the. The tie in console, right? Like we've seen how those PS5 plates look. We've gotten gameplay, we've gotten story. We've gotten like what the setup of the game is. They've shown us so much of Ghost of Yote. I think right now we're just in the final stretch of getting to the game and I think all you have left is to just show another trailer and have Erika Ishii come out and like hype people up and talk about the game a little bit.

[Tim Gettys]

Cameron Kennedy in the chat says multiplayer. Maybe you think there's a chance that they now announced that?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I don't think so.

[Tim Gettys]

Maybe a Legends.

[Andy Cortez]

Too early.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think it's too early. I think if that's coming out later then you wait until the game's out and then have that be part of like a post launch rollout to continue to ride the hype. That's my thing is like it's gonna be. I. We know it's gonna be here. I just don't think there's anything worthwhile. Like man, maybe I make that part of my prediction. Erica Ishii comes out and talks about it. Nothing worthwhile is that it's just another trailer and you go, okay, cool. That was a good trailer.

[Andy Cortez]

She was like, yeah, I don't mind going to Germany. That sounds fun.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

He's like, oh, I'll take a check to go to Germany. Yeah, for sure.

[Mike]

Of course.

[Andy Cortez]

Like the free flight.

[Tim Gettys]

Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

I believe in my heart of hearts that Crimson dawn, otherwise known as Crimson Desert, mm, will show off another one of these trailers. I mean, they just had gameplay release recently, but I think they will drop a date for a demo that will be available in the next week on Steam.

[Tim Gettys]

I think that you're onto something there. They have done the demos before and yeah, that. That does make sense.

[Andy Cortez]

It's real. Play it.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, you know, yeah. One of my predictions was Crimson Desert gets a release date February 2026. There's no mention of Crimson Dawn. Ah, yeah, but. But yeah, actually, I think. I think your prediction's better than mine. I think a demo soon, demos more likely than a release.

[Andy Cortez]

Dan.

[Mike]

Like, yeah, it would be wild. My mind, My mind melts when you say demo of this game because I'm so excited for it, but it's just this giant open world. Where do you put me in this demo?

[Andy Cortez]

We, I mean, well, when, you know, when the Elden Ring Network test happened and you talk about a giant open world, there were a bunch of walls that just, you know, prevented you from running everywhere. Like, you had a shit ton of just dev walls all over the place whenever you would try to go out and far and explore. But yeah, I think we haven't really. We haven't really discussed just how much demos have been back for several years after many, many years of just being a. Not just never ever existing, really. And in the last like three, four, five years, it's been like, demos are back, baby. And I think that this is a good way for them to show, hey, the game is real Again, we. We showed you that gameplay trailer and you know that this shit is real. And this game runs, or at least runs in a way, because it isn't flawless. When I watch that gameplay trailer, I noticed like, all right, this is probably running on DLSS Ultra performance because it looked really noisy in some spots. And it's doing its best to keep the rays from reconstruct, ray reconstruction on the metal and all that. It's like, this is a flawed game visually that I can see, like, yeah, this is a real game and you'll be able to play it very, very soon. Hopefully.

[Tim Gettys]

My next prediction was going to be Crimson Desert getting a release date, but since you took that, I'm going to jump to something a little spicier.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's spicy.

[Tim Gettys]

Pragmata is Mega Man.

[Mike]

Let's fucking go.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Let's fucking go.

[Tim Gettys]

There's been a lot of evidence. It seems like a crazy Grinch theory, but there's evidence in where there's smokes everybody. But here's the deal for the prediction. It will not be officially revealed at Gamescom. It will just be more clearly hinted at.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Mike]

That.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, is this Mega Man? Like in a. In a more direct way than. Okay, there's a lot of like hidden tiny things in a way that we're gonna be watching this and be like, that's Mega man. You know. And I think that the Mega man official like them saying it outright. That'll be game awards.

[Andy Cortez]

They mentioned Dr. William or something. Like something close to W or something. Do you. Okay, is there any part of your brain that could also theorize that, you know, let's say this was always meant to be like a 10% mega man.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So obvious. Look at. Look at her. What she's wearing.

[Andy Cortez]

But as everybody's hyping this up more and more they're like, yeah, we should lean into this shit even more. Hey, fudgeing.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Jeff, get over here. Like, let's go harder. In this sort of. In this sort of area.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think they do the thunderbolts thing where the. The game comes out. They cross out the title.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, I was gonna say that.

[Tim Gettys]

But I think that happens at game awards.

[Andy Cortez]

Asterisk.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, so you think they actually do that?

[Tim Gettys]

I think they actually do it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That'd be. Come on.

[Andy Cortez]

Do you think more blue gets added to this suit throughout the game because it's completely white right now.

[Tim Gettys]

Yes.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. She's actually 38 Inc. Mega woman.

[Tim Gettys]

For that woke there.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Can you go back to the like the. The key art at the end with just like the Prigmata text? I'm trying to solve a puzzle right now. Cuz like those search puzzles are highlighted. Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Cuz I'm like M A and and M. But is that a V A Up down. Those are directions you go in Mega.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Man you do go up and down.

[Andy Cortez]

Mega jump and shoot, man. Okay, whoa, whoa, hold on, man. You all are real.

[Tim Gettys]

Like, oh, Andy, this. There's a rabbit hole for you to go down of evidence left, right?

[Andy Cortez]

No, I mean I've read like the Polygon article and stuff and. And I was like, okay, but these are all still just cute theories or whatever. But man, we are getting into some. We are getting into some Kojima at.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Can you go back to when she.

[Andy Cortez]

Was, like, doing this Kojima Game Awards with the mask on.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

You know, whatever his. What was that called?

[Tim Gettys]

I forget.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, the fan Yokin Mogrin or whatever.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like, are you talking about, like, the, like, didn't have, like, a whale?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, but even before that.

[Andy Cortez]

Right?

[Tim Gettys]

It was the dude with the bandages.

[Mike]

Yeah, but, like, you know.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yes.

[Andy Cortez]

When the logo ended up revealing that, it was, like, Phantom, you know, like.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, I see.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, man. Interesting.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's in our face right here, dude.

[Tim Gettys]

It's in our face.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's in our face.

[Andy Cortez]

But, like, she has a hand there. She just had a bus. Her cannon. Someone said she's the mega. He's the man. Bam.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, she looks like Roll for Mega Man. Can you pull a picture of Roll? Like, that's one of the biggest pieces of evidence this. And I get. Cool. It's just a little blonde girl, but it's a little blonde girl holding her hand out like that. Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm so on the Mega man train for this.

[Andy Cortez]

I don't know. She rolls, wears red. This girl's wearing blue. Yeah. I don't see it.

[Tim Gettys]

It's 2025.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mega Man Blue.

[Tim Gettys]

Who's next?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Who just went? You?

[Tim Gettys]

I just went. Mike. Mike, I'm back again. Yeah.

[Mike]

Okay, let's do some fun ones here. Tim and I also have a cool announcement that I get to share. I'll do the announcement first.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm pregnant.

[Mike]

I get to share that I went down to Treyarch for a look at Black Ops 7. That is all I can say, but I will share more details tomorrow after Opening Night Live. And I would keep an eye out for our coverage if you're very excited for Call of duty black ops 7.

[Andy Cortez]

Nice.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You said that, like, had a gun to your head.

[Mike]

Well, I didn't know where to put this in, to be honest with you. I was like, oh, I probably rewind.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And listen to how he delivers it again.

[Mike]

So excited about that. I can't wait to tell you about it. But going back to predictions, here's another little mild medium one for you. Diablo 4 second expansion is shown with a trailer. Of course, it's the Badass Cinematics team showing it off. And the Paladin is confirmed. This is something we know is happening Most likely in 2026. Jason Schreier put up that tweet and that photo back at, like, some weird DICE summit. We know that Rod Ferguson already announced that we're on the path of this. And so is this the time to showcase that Xbox has a heavy presence here at Gamescom. I think Diablo 4 will have a second expansion shown.

[Andy Cortez]

Then Greg Miller goes. Who? We double down.

[Tim Gettys]

That's a good one, dude. Yeah, yeah. Bless.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, I think I'm next.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No, it's me. Oh, yeah. But also, I'm not ready because I'm looking at mine and I'm trying not to do the too obvious thing, but then I have one that I don't. I have one that I wrote down that I don't believe in.

[Tim Gettys]

Having fun.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'll write down the one that I don't believe in, but maybe, like, you guys can help me massage it and turn it into something.

[Andy Cortez]

Find the knots.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yes. Michael Ironside. Okay, here we go. He's there.

[Andy Cortez]

He's there.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The Reddit post where the guy was like, yeah, I saw my Ironside at the airport and he was talking about going to Munich. That turned out to be true because it was a connecting flight down to Gamescom and Cologne. He's on stage and he shows off the smallest teaser for a Splinter Cell. It's gonna be one of those ones where, like, really? That's it?

[Tim Gettys]

The three green dots.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The three green dots again. It's like, again, yes. Maybe a little bit longer, but, like, you're not going to get anything more than that.

[Mike]

That could save Ubisoft.

[Tim Gettys]

This is the turnaround.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think that's one part of what saves Ubisoft, because us saying this could.

[Andy Cortez]

Be the one is like, this could be the one.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Because elsewhere in the show, Prince of Persia, Sands of Time remake shows up and gets an actual trailer and reiterates, 2026.

[Tim Gettys]

It is. I. I'm similar to you where, like, I didn't really have a prediction. I just had a couple words that I was like, I'll flesh it out. Yeah, Ubisoft's been quiet. They didn't.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

They didn't have a forward.

[Tim Gettys]

Not having a forward. They're big releases in the forms of outlaws and shadows both being out. It is a little bizarre that we just haven't heard anything about what they're up to besides the Assassin's Creed DLC and all that. So I do think at some point they need to start talking about games and, like, reaffirming things that we've seen before with a bit more of, like, a road map or else what's even coming from them. Right. So we know Prince of Persia stands the time. I don't know that we see it tomorrow, though.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, 2020. When do you. When do we see it?

[Tim Gettys]

Do we see it?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's a really good Question, you know, do we see it?

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know. You know, there's been rumors of Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, shoot.

[Tim Gettys]

And like, oh, that's actually more like the type of place to to do that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That does make more sense. Actually.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm not convinced that that's real. But also at the same time, if Ubisoft was to bring anything to Gamescom, I would expect that level of announcement rather than like a new Far Cry or a new. I don't know, man. A Far Cry feels like the perfect.

[Tim Gettys]

Type of a game like Ubisoft's. So you're giving Gamescom too many franchises were like, it feels like Gamescom opening night Live announcement.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's my thing is it's the how far Ubisoft has fallen thing of it.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Where I'm like, have they gone down to Gamescom level? Maybe. I would hope not. Like I would hope that Saints of Time. In fact, when did we see Prince of Persia sans the time last Was that a game awards?

[Tim Gettys]

It was Ubisoft's forward where they had their little Prince of Persia. Like it's been 40 years or whatever. And like we saw all the little princess.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Never mind. I stand by it.

[Mike]

Maybe rethink your thinking. Ubisoft with thrive at an opening night live showcase that is also Ubisoft games would steal the show and be kind of the most talked about things there. Maybe this is where you plant your flag and kind of get a little elbow room at the table letting people know you're back.

[Andy Cortez]

They're also in the middle of like restructuring with the whole what is it, 10 cent and all that stuff.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like I don't know.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, but that's like mainly Assassin's Creed, right?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And also Princess. I'm just not convinced that they like.

[Andy Cortez]

Show up at this and like the way the that Mike is. They just go big. Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Thriving and opening night live.

[Mike]

Their games don't have said anywhere else be thriving.

[Andy Cortez]

I picture like Slow Mo walking into a club Eve Gil Mo like pushing people out of the way like.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Palm somebody's face.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh my God. All right, we are halfway through our predictions for Gamescom. We'll be right back after a quick word from our sponsors.

That's why we're not expecting anything major to be dropped here.

[Andy Cortez]

What's the biggest thing that's been announced at a Gamescom Biomutant?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Dead Island.

[Tim Gettys]

Real talk. Yeah, Dead Island.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Dead Island 2. What closed last year was that dying like the beast? It couldn't have been. Right?

[Andy Cortez]

I'll look into it.

[Tim Gettys]

Definitely.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, it definitely sounds right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, we got Erica that one year the FMV game that I played me Greg played wasn't like the Portal. Was the Portal from Gamescom. There's like some PlayStation hardware that happened. Yeah, PlayStation Portal. Maybe the Edge. One of them. PlayStation hardware. Was that Gamescom?

[Tim Gettys]

The Edge?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, here we go.

[Andy Cortez]

No, you know what closed Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024 was mafia. The old country. Oh.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

The announcement for it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, it was a Saints Row. Saints Row closed that one year. Usually. Like the games, like the. The revivals of games that people have been asking for that come out and score 7 out of 10 at most are the ones that close out Gamescom.

[Mike]

Back Down's back.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Down's back.

[Tim Gettys]

It's time.

[Andy Cortez]

Did y' all play a Mafia?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, it was bad.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Really?

[Andy Cortez]

Six out of ten.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Everybody kind of dissuaded me from playing it.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, I'm replaying the series right now, though. Good series, short games.

[Tim Gettys]

Where were we at? We have two more predictions here. Andy. Go.

[Andy Cortez]

A little saucy this one.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, sauce me up.

[Andy Cortez]

See a little red light? That's a sound effect for the audio listeners. Do it one more time. Oh, I didn't catch you. Well, it's just like the general sort of like sound effect whenever a light turns on and it's the same red light. Looks familiar. That's because it's the same red light we saw when Armored Core was released. Bandai Namco is here. We know that they're at Gamescom. We know they're showing three games on the show floor. But I think that they announce. I don't want to say an Armored Core sequel. I just want to say an Armored Core expansion. Something new. With Armored Core 6, the game sold way beyond their expectations. Even though it wasn't a massive success, it still like did really, really well for them. We know from software has a shitload of teams working on a lot of different things and I think that one of those smaller teams was working on some sort of Armored Core something. I don't know what it is.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

A mobile port.

[Andy Cortez]

God, I hope not. A new multiplayer mode.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But they already have a multiplayer mode.

[Andy Cortez]

I've set a new multiplayer. Yeah, they just had like. What are you doing in this one?

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know.

[Andy Cortez]

Maybe.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Maybe they're going to get Harvard core racing game.

[Andy Cortez]

Maybe they're trying to go up against Mecha Break. You know, maybe they're doing a full sort of force 4v4 squad. I would just love to see some sort of expansion.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That'd be sick.

[Andy Cortez]

I know that they're here and I know that that's, you know, I'm record.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Didn'T deserve to like come and go. Not to say that like people like didn't like it or like threw it away or anything, but it's one of those games where you finish it and you kind of move on.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I feel like that's a game that deserves like an expansion or something to keep it in the.

[Andy Cortez]

Well, you finish it and you play it again for that new game.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Plus. Yeah, which I.

[Andy Cortez]

And then again for the plus new game. Plus plus.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Which I did. I love that.

[Andy Cortez]

What a game.

[Tim Gettys]

So Andy, your prediction there? Armored Core AC Andy Cortez. That's the wrong Ace Combat.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

What?

[Tim Gettys]

Ace Combat Eights is what it's going to be. It has been many years since Ace Combat 7 Skies Unknown was released in 2019. People love this franchise. Every time I see a trailer for it, I'm like, whoa, that looks pretty cool. And I think it's time to take to the skies, Tim.

[Mike]

If that's for real, I'm in. Because I've been high on Microsoft flight Simulator for a while now and if I can elevate that into some dog fighting up in the skies, get my full maverick on, I'm in. Tim.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. This is a post maverick world. We haven't had an Ace Combat since it's time tomorrow. Take to the bank.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Take it to the bank.

[Andy Cortez]

Is it like a trailer? Is it just a logo? You can't just do a logo if you're Ace Combat. Like, not. You don't got it like that, you know?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think. I think it's the whole kitten caboodle. I think it's a trailer. I think it's. It's a name of the game. It'll be fun. Subtitle it will be Ace Combat 8 something. And we're the. The name's not going to be cool enough to actually elicit a response from us that's like, oh. But because we're having this conversation, it's.

[Andy Cortez]

Not Fires with Rubicon.

[Tim Gettys]

It's not. It's not gonna be Fires of Rubicon levels, but I think it's gonna be above. Sky's Unknown.

[Andy Cortez]

I was gonna say skies of Arcadia.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, God, we know the skies now.

[Andy Cortez]

Do you think maybe the main character is some sort of celebrity?

[Tim Gettys]

Michael Ironside. Mike. Next one.

[Mike]

Yeah, Tim, let's talk about dinos.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Mike]

I've been awaiting a Jurassic park game called Jurassic Park Survive. And they just got a nice little team breakdown, talking about how excited they are about being in the Jurassic park universe, how excited they are to show you all the sweet details of the dinos, what they're bringing to you with the single player game. And that got me excited. I would love to. Dinosaur pod.

[Tim Gettys]

No.

[Mike]

But you know what?

[Tim Gettys]

I do. I think it's the perfect level of Lucid three. No. Arc two.

[Mike]

Oh, it's time.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay.

[Mike]

What's up with Wild Card Studios? Where are they at? What do we do in Studio Wildcard? Ark 2 is in this weird spot where Arc 1 is getting some nice strong love over there. It is time to move over to that. Vin Diesel hasn't been seen in a while up on stage talking about how much he's put into that. So, yeah, my dino prediction is Ark 2 is finally shown here and we kind of start moving the ball towards a release next summer.

[Andy Cortez]

Mike, can you give me the rundown as to what is happening with arc period? Like, is. I know that whenever you. Me and Nick streamed it, it was the. The remaster. The sort of. What was it called? ARC Re. Arc Survival Re. Imagine Recore Revolved.

[Mike]

Arc Ascended.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was just. That's just a. Was that just a visual upgrade? I'm so confused with this franchise because I feel like we saw this Vin Diesel trailer so long ago and four Years ago. And you could have told me it came out two years ago and I'd be like, oh, shit. I. Wow. I didn't realize that, but I just don't know what's happening with this world and with this franchise anymore.

[Mike]

Ark Survival Ascended is the remaster of the 2017 game Ark survival Evolved, which is going to take you up to that kind of next gen level of graphics and stability. I don't know much about where we are with Studio Wildcard. I thought last we left them, they had something going on with their studio that wasn't positive. And so hopefully they're back on track and we see this cuz it. This game is like. What's the underwater game we've been talking about?

[Andy Cortez]

Subnautica.

[Mike]

This is a Subnautica situation to me where I love this game and I want more of it. So I hope that we can see this sooner than later.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Plus, man, I'm between two. I'm going to. I'm going to combine them both into. Not necessarily game predictions or at least games that we care about, but things that'll happen. All right, we have.

[Tim Gettys]

Y' all need to strap in. I'm seeing what he's typing right now.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think you get. I think both these things happen. Firstly, you get over four and a half Genshin Impact. Like games.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay, yeah, that's good.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So that includes that. And that is including Genshin. If we see Genshin. So Genshin Zenless on Waves, Wuthering Waves, Star Rail, and then I guess at least one more. That's my first part. Second part.

[Andy Cortez]

I'll make one between now and then.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Second part. And again, this all has to happen for me to get this whole point.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, shit.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

At some point, the big parlay protesters end up on stage.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, shit.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think. I think somebody's protesting something. Probably political.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, I thought it was going to.

[Tim Gettys]

Be people who protested something. I thought it was that processors storm the stage. That's a prediction.

[Andy Cortez]

I thought it was people.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Again.

[Andy Cortez]

How is this related to the Genshin likes?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No, it's just one of those things where it's like. It's tradition. It's a big part what happens at Gamescom. People end up on stage that shouldn't be on stage. What else happens at Gamescom? We get a lot of Genshin likes.

[Andy Cortez]

Gotcha games need to go. Gotcha games need to go.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Maybe they're protesting Zenless Zone 0.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, man. Oh, man.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy got one prediction, by the way.

[Andy Cortez]

I know we had some not so positive news about 1BioShock 4 recently, and we won't get any more here. This does seem like one of those, like, man, it could possibly happen, but there will be no BioShock 4. That's not my prediction, though. Let me just make one up right here on the spot. See here. Let's see here. Let me go through. And go through here real quick.

[Tim Gettys]

No bioshock, no Judas.

[Andy Cortez]

No bioshock, no Judas.

[Tim Gettys]

Man.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Man, I'm a believer in Judas. I think Judas is happening, but it's just not a Gamescom announcement.

[Andy Cortez]

That's. That's a. That is a.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's like summer game fest.

[Andy Cortez]

I think it's summer game fest type deal. Actually. No, we will get a BioShock 4 trailer. Yeah, I changed my mind.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

What was the new story we just covered about that?

[Andy Cortez]

Things are. But they were like, hey, the remake was canned or whatever, and things aren't going great with development right now on four. We've had to sort of. It's similar to, like, whenever you hear news about Marvel movies where you're like, hey, we've gone back to the right to the writing drawing board. Yeah, Writers room drawing board. I think some leadership has been replaced or something like that.

[Tim Gettys]

From what I remember, it ain't looking.

[Andy Cortez]

Good, but they're gonna sneak In a. An MP4 into that presentation.

[Tim Gettys]

All right. I don't want to go here. Amazon's fallout will be there. We know that. Amazon Secret level, Season two.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh.

[Tim Gettys]

Also be there.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I like that. I like that.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't. It's already confirmed they're doing a season two.

[Andy Cortez]

Will it be more focused? Because I.

[Tim Gettys]

No, I don't think so. I don't think this will address any issues people had with the first season. I do think that tomorrow they will announce no less than three game worlds that will be visited in season two.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And which are. Which game rules are those?

[Tim Gettys]

I am not willing to say that at this time.

[Andy Cortez]

And what. What game gets a weird adaptation that they turn into an episode, I. E. Shadow Labyrinth. Pac Man. Pac Man.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

So you're sitting the. You're setting the over at two and a half.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay. You're going over two and a half.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

That's it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I like it. Somebody says Mafia. I can see Mafia episode.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Why not?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

For Secret level.

[Andy Cortez]

Well, we do know. Didn't they ment. Mike something about, like, really wanting to do Halo?

[Mike]

I. Yeah, I was going to say Halo. I think Halo's a layup on that one. For sure.

[Tim Gettys]

For sure.

[Mike]

If they would announce a season two, I think that partnership and going back to that is definitely a. A must do.

[Andy Cortez]

I swear. They were either asking an interview or it was a random tweet from people responding to somebody working on the team. Being like, we really wanted to do Halo. Hopefully, you know, crossing our fingers for being able to do one in the future or something.

[Tim Gettys]

Kevin. Kenny says we get like Split Gate or some shit. Dude. Split Gate Season 2, Secret Invasion Level, Level. Take it to the Bank.

[Mike]

What was it?

[Tim Gettys]

I think that I. That does make sense to me.

[Mike]

It'd be like the Unreal Tournament one. That was really. Yeah, I liked that one a lot.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So Split Gate could be cool.

[Tim Gettys]

Or Portal.

[Andy Cortez]

Maybe we can just get a portal one.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That'd be cool.

[Andy Cortez]

Take the. Take the PvP.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Don't. Don't underrate their access to IP because they like they were able to partner with everybody. Like they had a whole PlayStation episode.

[Tim Gettys]

No Nintendo.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I never watched. Well, yeah, not Nintendo.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, nobody's.

[Andy Cortez]

That's different.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Yeah, nobody has.

[Andy Cortez]

One person will be able to play a Pokemon game in the next couple months and it won't be Tim.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I was also thinking about making a Fallout prediction. So I like that. Yours was just that they'll have more stuff because I was trying to massage it. Couldn't figure out where I wanted to go. But I. I think where I landed on was that somebody we know is going to be on stage talking about Fallout to present the trailer. I just couldn't figure out if it's Walton Goggins. Like could they get him? You know, could they fly him to Germany for that? I don't know.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Todd Howard.

[Mike]

Maybe they just released some first look photos. I mean, old school New Vegas before Goggins becomes the ghoul, which is gonna be cool. Then they go back in time. So that means maybe we go back towards Fallout New Vegas and that.

[Andy Cortez]

Wait, so he becomes a. Isn't he a ghoul now?

[Mike]

Yeah, but they show past Walter Goggins as well.

[Tim Gettys]

It's old New Vegas.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. Flashback.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

What's the name of the star actress that Ali.

[Mike]

Ali Pernell.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Ella Purnell.

[Andy Cortez]

Holy. Maybe getting that right.

[Tim Gettys]

That's just all wrong. Everything about that I could see her being there. Okie dokie.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I don't know. I believe they can get her but not get Walton gone.

[Tim Gettys]

There's a lot of chatter in the same way. There's chat about Assassin's Creed, Black Flag remake. There's always chatter about a Fallout 3 remake. I don't think this is the place or time. But what do y' all think.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, that'd be. That'd be sick. I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility.

[Andy Cortez]

Oblivion kind of came out of nowhere.

[Tim Gettys]

No, totally. Yeah. So it is possible.

[Andy Cortez]

All it takes is one showcase, man.

[Tim Gettys]

All it takes is one. Let's turn the shit around.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

British.

[Andy Cortez]

I think she's Australian, maybe.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, never mind. I was going to say maybe she lives closer so you can get her. Also, she's.

[Mike]

These things, airplanes, they get you two.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm like, there's no way. They're flying Walton Goggins to Germany to Gamescom to then introduce a Fallout trailer.

[Andy Cortez]

She is from the.

[Tim Gettys]

Why?

[Andy Cortez]

He likes uk.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, he does like money, but, like, I don't know. It's just long. If Ella Pernell's closer, then, yeah, just get Ella Pernell.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, Bear. Just. She is from the uk. That does change everything.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wait, is he. Wait, is he from the uk?

[Tim Gettys]

No.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, okay. I was about to say, I wonder where he's from.

[Tim Gettys]

Like, I don't know. A little jaunt.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. But not as close as, like, anywhere else in Europe to Cologne, I guess Germany's a Jackie Plus.

[Tim Gettys]

What's your next one?

[Andy Cortez]

Did you say Germany's like gigantic country?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, wait. Actually, no, never mind. Sorry. I'm thinking of. Never mind.

[Andy Cortez]

What are you thinking of?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

[Andy Cortez]

Russia.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Don't worry about it.

[Andy Cortez]

Definitely thinking Russia. Definitely thinking Russia.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Black Myth with Wukong against dlc. That's all I know.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, fuck. I thought you were leaving Black Myth Wukong in 2024.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I was trying, but then I ran out of predictions because my last prediction was gonna be about the Rog Ally. Yeah. But I kind of got that out the way with Silksong. And so here we are.

[Tim Gettys]

Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

Just looking down the list of games that might be there. Looking down, but I want to make a. You know, I think I want to make just another demo sort of announcement. Oh, Morbid Metal is going to be there, which is a Ubisoft published game, which gives me even more hope that we might get Michael Sam Fisher. I don't. I got off. What if I just gave you four? Is that allowed?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I feel like we. This. Well, that was your. This is your fourth. Right. We can just go to super chats if you'd like.

[Mike]

What about Hades? Well, what about James Bond?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

See, I was thinking about James Bond.

[Tim Gettys]

James Bond gameplay, I think, is very, very possible.

[Mike]

I would feel like this is a mission or the start of a mission to James Bond, Right? We saw some gameplay, so now it feels like a perfect time of like, hey, let's show you kind of how this is gonna flow.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You don't think that's too soon? I feel like it's game awards, like, because when are we getting James Bond? 2026.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If we. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay, hold on, hold on. Why is the Division 2 playable at Gamescom? Is it DLC that you played from a month and a half, two months ago?

[Mike]

I don't think many people talked about that.

[Tim Gettys]

Right.

[Mike]

Maybe it's just a chance to get people to just remember it in general.

[Andy Cortez]

Something's happening and it could change the fortune. Wow.

[Tim Gettys]

This is gonna be the turning point.

[Andy Cortez]

Could change everything. For Ubisoft.

[Tim Gettys]

My last prediction was mouse PI for hire finally gets a release date trailer.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, nice. I like that. Okay, that's a good one.

[Andy Cortez]

Troy Baker announcing anything on stage. Nothing that he's in the game again, is he? I mean, he may be in Russia. It's a long flight.

[Tim Gettys]

Let's look at some super chats here. JB says I'll crash out if no new Mega man tomorrow. Check it out. Frag Arrow says Warhorse will be there with Kingdom Come delivery. Deliverances twos new DLC. A native PS5 upgrade of one has been leaked and subsequently teased by Warhorse. Maybe a shadow drop. That makes sense. Warhorse Yel Sing says, after the betas for battlefield six, how do we feel about 100m?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like 100m?

[Mike]

What the hell is 100h m?

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, 100 million players.

[Mike]

Oh, hitting the 100 million players.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, no, but this is.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But no, they want to hit 100 million players.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

In Battlefield.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Mike]

That was some sort of crazy, like, CEO meeting, right? Where they were just throwing numbers around that camping.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, it was some like, person at EA being like, I think we can hit 100 million.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think we get to 100 million listeners of the show.

[Tim Gettys]

Just gotta believe everybody.

[Mike]

If the Ring of Fire goes free to play, then you talk about that. But no, I don't think after this beta, you're showing that right now.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No.

[Tim Gettys]

Trevor says small prediction. Slay the Spire 2 early access date. Yeah, that's a good one.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I like that a lot.

[Tim Gettys]

Lee Ellis says, morning, gents. First time messaging. Just want to say I love and appreciate everything you do. Thank you.

[Andy Cortez]

Thank you.

[Tim Gettys]

Can't wait to hang out with you tomorrow. Live reacting to Gamescom and then Kebab says Michael Ironside shows up on stage to announce Sam Fisher's gear as dlc. In some other Ubisoft game. Maybe Rainbow Six. Siege. No mention of the Splinter Cell game. Can you imagine?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think he's already in Siege.

[Tim Gettys]

One of the other ones. Then.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I know he was put him in for honor. You know he was in Ghost Recon, Wildlands.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. They just be putting him things.

[Tim Gettys]

They just be putting them in things. Thank you all so much for hanging out with us for this predictions episode. I feel like we put together a pretty good list of things.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All things considered, Gamescom might be the toughest showcase to do predictions for.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Because you can't aim too high.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And so he tells you so much of what's already going to be. That.

[Tim Gettys]

That is the thing.

[Mike]

I have a confirmed list of over 15 games here that are cool. Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

So, like, we're gonna get some good stuff tomorrow. Just like, I don't think you should expect major announcements, but we'll see. All it takes is one all it takes is one all it takes is.

[Andy Cortez]

Change the future and fortunes of Ubisoft Division 3 and Gamescom.

[Tim Gettys]

Until next time. I love you all. Goodbye.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I was thinking of Russia.
