Each year, Cologne becomes a kind of secular temple where the gaming industry gathers to declare its intentions — and in 2025, those intentions arrived with unusual clarity. Over 300,000 attendees witnessed an Opening Night Live that balanced franchise obligation with genuine surprise, from the recalibrated thunder of Call of Duty to the quiet dread of survival horror's return. The event served as a reminder that even in an age of constant digital announcement, there remains something irreplaceable about a room — or a stage — where anticipation is shared.
