[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63830, member: 1"] Microsoft has announced plans to return to gamescom this year with what it says is its biggest booth ever at the German games show. Gamescom 2024, which runs from August 21-25, will see Xbox maker Microsoft showcase the likes of Obsidian’s Avowed, Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76, and Blizzard’s Diablo 4 expansion Vessel of Hatred and World of Warcraft expansion The War Within. It is Blizzard's first gamescom following Microsoft's $69 billion aquisition of Activision Blizzard last year. Here’s the list of games Microsoft said it’s bringing to gamescom 2024 (this list is not comprehensive — expect more announcements at the show): [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.ign.com/games/age-of-mythology-retold']Age of Mythology: Retold[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.ign.com/games/avowed']Avowed[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.ign.com/games/ara-history-untold']Ara: History Untold[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.ign.com/games/diablo-iv-vessel-of-hatred']Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.ign.com/games/diablo-immortal']Diablo Immortal[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.ign.com/games/the-elder-scrolls-online']The Elder Scrolls Online[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.ign.com/games/fallout-76']Fallout 76[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.ign.com/games/towerborne']Towerborne[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.ign.com/games/world-of-warcraft-the-war-within']World of Warcraft: The War Within[/URL] [/LIST] Sony and Nintendo, meanwhile, have confirmed they are skipping gamescom 2024.
