As with E3 2021, gamescom once again opts for an all digital showing this year.
Alongside some week-long programming from event organisers themselves - including a headline stream hosted by Geoff Keighley of The Game Awards fame, and an indie-focused showcase - you can expect a dedicated show from Xbox and another Future Games Show later in the week.
Though busier than last year's show, it's still more subdued than the gamescom we've come to know over the years - but at least, like E3, 2021's conferences are condensed into a single week than a seemingly never-ending list of streams over the summer. Phew!
