As voted by you
Last week, we asked you to vote for the Push Square Gamescom 2018 Game of the Show, and the poll has now closed. We received hundreds of votes in the end, split between a total of 26 nominees. But of course, only one title can be crowned Game of the Show. Below, we've listed the ten games that came out on top. 10. RAGE 2...
Gamescom 2018 Horror as Fortnite Fan Takes a Public Dump and Leaves It to Stink
Fortshite
It's Friday afternoon and Gamescom 2018 has pretty much wrapped up -- you're damn right we're going to write about someone taking a sh*t at a gaming convention. As reported by PlayNation.de, there was a huge queue to play Fortnite at Gamescom 2018. Disregarding the fact that thousands of people queued up for hours on end to play bloody...
Poll What Was the Best PS4 Game at Gamescom 2018?
Game of the Show
As yet another annual gaming event comes to a close, it's once again time to reflect and pick out our Game of the Show. Gamescom may not be the 'European E3' that it once was, but we still got so many new trailers and gameplay videos from this year's show. And so, it falls to you to decide Push Square's Gamescom 2018 Game of...
Gamescom 2018 Kick On with 15 Minutes of Gameplay from the Latest FIFA 19 Build
An upgrade?
Gamespot's uploaded 15 minutes of FIFA 19 gameplay, and as far as we're aware, it's the latest build of the game. As previews promised, we did spy a handful of new animations, and the general flow of play maybe looks a bit more fluid? It's hard to tell without playing the game ourselves, but it does seem that way in the video...
Guide Best New PS4 Games at Gamescom 2018
Upcoming classics coming to PlayStation 4
What are the best PS4 games at Gamescom 2018? While the Cologne convention may not quite match the theatre of E3 2018, publishers do tend go big at the German show, and we’ve been following all of the announcements, trailers, and gameplay demos. We've been updating this article throughout the week to bring...
Gamescom 2018 Watch Fury Take on Envy in New Darksiders III Gameplay
Apocalypse now
Don't forget guys and gals -- Darksiders III comes out in November. There doesn't seem to be quite as much buzz around this game as some of the other big titles launching before Christmas, but the Darksiders games are an enjoyable bunch. As we know, this entry focuses on another of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, namely Fury, and...
Gamescom 2018 Metro Exodus Looks Like a Seasonal Treat
Well, maybe not treat
Metro Exodus is looking decent, eh? The demo being shown at Gamescom 2018 focuses on an autumn environment, but the full campaign will cycle through all of the seasons, which should result in some visual variety as you journey apocalyptic Russia. There’ll be a full day-and-night cycle, too, which will alter the kind of...
Gamescom 2018 Cyberpunk 2077 Is Playable from Start to Finish
But it's far from done
Cyberpunk 2077 is a while off yet, and we've known that for quite some time. There's been on and off speculation about it being an eventual PS5 game, and developer CD Projekt Red basically keeps telling us that it'll be ready when it's ready -- simple as that. But how far along is the project, really? Well, according to...
Gamescom 2018 Dark Souls Is Done, FromSoftware Reiterates
Wants to create fresh experiences
Ever wondered why Bandai Namco has started to milk the Dark Souls series? It looks like its relationship with developer FromSoftware may be over, as the studio moves to pastures new. Speaking with VG247 at Gamescom 2018 this week, communications director Yasuhiro Kitao said that the studio plans to make “a variety...
Gamescom 2018 Take a Sneaky Look at Metro: Exodus Gameplay Footage
Kill or be killed
We've already been treated to an atmospheric new trailer for Metro: Exodus during this year's Gamescom, but publisher Deep Silver hasn't stopped there. It's also released a decent amount of beta gameplay footage, and it's looking great. The above video cuts from one scenario to another, showing us things like rescuing a man from...
Gamescom 2018 Bless Unleashed Announced, Korean-Made Free-to-Play MMORPG
But it's on Xbox first
Bandai Namco has announced that it'll be publishing a free-to-play MMORPG named Bless Unleashed. It's being developed by Korean studio Neowiz, and from what we understand, it's potentially just a console version of Bless Online, a PC MMO that was released earlier this year. Bless Unleashed is due in 2019, and although there's...
Gamescom 2018 Twin Mirror Channels the Spirit of Life Is Strange
All in the mind
Twin Mirror is a DONTNOD game alright. Soft colour palette? Check. Atrocious voice acting? Check. American characters written by French people? Check. Weird sci-fi elements? Check. If we hadn’t already seen the trailer to Life Is Strange 2, we’d be convinced this was the sequel instead – even if it is lacking in the teenager...
Gamescom 2018 Bandai Namco Defends Decision to Add Tira as DLC in SoulCalibur VI
Ring of death
Tira is returning in SoulCalibur VI, but only as DLC. You unlock her if you buy the season pass, or you can purchase her individually. Almost immediately after the announcement, there was outrage. Fans aren't happy that a much requested character is stuck behind an additional paywall at launch, and we can't blame them. It's an...
Gamescom 2018 Embrace the Madness with Call of Cthulhu Gameplay
Lovecraft overload
Frogwares’ forthcoming The Sinking City looks awesome, and so too does Cyanide’s Call of Cthulhu. Both are taking different approaches to H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic universe, with this game adopting a first-person perspective. You play as an investigator named Edward Pierce who’s sent to an island named Darkwater, which is...
Gamescom 2018 Despite DLC, The Full SoulCalibur VI Character Roster Hasn't Been Revealed Yet
Just to clarify
So the other day, Bandai Namco announced the first DLC character for SoulCalibur VI. Fan-favourite fighter Tira will be unlocked if you buy the game's season pass, or she can be purchased separately. As you'd expect, this didn't go down well with fans of the franchise. A returning character being stuck behind an additional paywall?...
Gamescom 2018 Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Looks Superb in New Gameplay Video
Thank you for releasing me
Just like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy before it, Spyro: Reignited Trilogy promises to be a nostalgia gut punch. This new gameplay footage, going through a stage from each of the three games, looks absolutely spot on, with everything from the level layouts to the sound effects reproduced wonderfully. It's clear...
Gamescom 2018 Desperados III Gameplay Looks a Lot Like Shadow Tactics
And that's fine by us
THQ Nordic's Desperados III was a surprise announcement during Gamescom 2018's opening ceremony, as the series has been dormant since 2007's Helldorado. Given the team behind this game produced Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, we had a feeling it would be in safe hands, and this new gameplay is looking pretty good...
Gamescom 2018 Get Up to Speed with New Team Sonic Racing Gameplay and Details
Need for speed
We're cautiously optimistic about Team Sonic Racing. Early gameplay footage has looked bright, cheerful, and fun, and with Sumo Digital at the helm, it's in safe hands. We're still unsure, however, on whether it'll measure up to Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, a wonderful kart racer with lots of variety thanks to its...
Gamescom 2018 Man of Medan Is the Dumb Until Dawn Successor You Wanted
Dive in
Ah, Supermassive Games – after all those spin-offs, we’d forgotten your unique brand of campy horror. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan looks every inch the Until Dawn successor in this gameplay demo from Gamescom 2018, trading on daft dialogue exchanges and borderline unfair jump scares. We love it already. The gameplay seems...
Gamescom 2018 Claire Redfield Kicks Ass in Resident Evil 2 Gameplay
Bloody Birkin
Hot on the heels of Capcom’s complete Claire Redfield blowout this week, new footage has emerged at Gamescom 2018 showing off her portion of Resident Evil 2’s campaign. In this first Dengeki Online video, the heroine comes face-to-face with Sherry Birkin and her father – although fans of the original will know that the latter...
Gamescom 2018 Devil May Cry 5 PS4 Pro Gameplay Footage Emerges
That's more like it
Forget that Xbox One video you saw yesterday, this is the real deal as far as this website is concerned. PlayStation Access has posted 19 minutes of Devil May Cry 5 gameplay footage, all captured on a PS4 Pro in 4K. Lovely stuff. Needless to say that it's the same demo many of you will have already seen, but...
Gamescom 2018 New Screenshots and Info Prove Left Alive Is Still Coming
Still alive
You'd be forgiven for forgetting about Left Alive, Square Enix's Front Mission successor. After being announced at Tokyo Game Show last year, it fell into obscurity, but according to a new report from DualShockers, the game is still very much in development. The sur
Gamescom 2018 The Surge 2 Gameplay Trailer Takes the Fight Outside
Mech-ing improvements
The Surge was a pretty divisive game when it launched last year. We weren't particularly enamoured with it, but some enjoyed its sci-fi spin on Dark Souls-esque gameplay. Focus Home Interactive has released a trailer for The Surge 2, and it looks like there will be a greater variety of environments to fight through. The first...
Gamescom 2018 'Everything Could Have Consequences' in Cyberpunk 2077
Watch your back
Role-playing and your interactions with the world will obviously be core pillars of Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red has already made it clear that you'll be free to explore Night City at your leisure, but the developer wants players to be constantly taking their actions into consideration. Speaking to Gamespot at Gamescom 2018,...
Gamescom 2018 For Honor Is Getting an Arcade Mode
A new challenger
As part of the game's October expansion, Marching Fire, For Honor will get its own arcade mode, complete with regular quest updates, challenges, and rewards. Basically, you'll be fighting through computer controlled opponents with various modifiers to keep each battle somewhat unique. You'll also be able to buddy up with a...
Gamescom 2018 Assassin's Creed Isn't Back on a Yearly Schedule, Says Ubisoft
Odyssey to be supported through 2019
With Assassin's Creed Odyssey following hot on the heels of Assassin's Creed Origins, many are worried that Ubisoft was bringing the series back to an annual release schedule after taking a year's break. The extra time clearly paid off for Origins, but is the publisher hoping to cash in on that success by pumping...
Gamescom 2018 FIFA 19's Story Mode Finale Is Split Across Three Characters
The champiooooons
FIFA 19's story mode will feature not one, not two, but three distinct characters, the game's latest trailer reveals. In the last two games, The Journey has focused on Alex Hunter, and while he's still at the centre of this one as he attempts to find Real Madrid yet more European glory, you'll also play as returning...
Gamescom 2018 Watch 16 Minutes of Uncut Gameplay from A Plague Tale: Innocence
Rats
Yet another game that's maybe not getting enough attention is A Plague Tale: Innocence from Focus Home Interactive. It's an adventure game set in a medieval, war struck France that's also fallen prey to disease thanks to a massive rat infestation. It's a pretty bleak premise, and this brand new gameplay footage reinforces that. It's the best...
Gamescom 2018 LEGO DC Super-Villains Gameplay Is About What You'd Expect
Not bad
Courtesy of IGN, we now have a first look at what to expect from LEGO DC Super-Villains, and it looks like it's par for the course. You'll be hopping between various onscreen characters with different abilities to solve basic puzzles, and it looks as though the developer is largely sticking to the tried and tested formula. That's not...
Gamescom 2018 Fallout 76's Latest Educational Video Covers Crafting and Building
A new home
We're always happy to give these comical Fallout trailers a watch, and the latest video fresh from Gamescom 2018 is a good laugh. It goes over the importance of crafting and building a place that you can call home in Fallout 76. Fallout 4's emphasis on settlement building was divisive, so it'll be interesting to see how this next game...
Gamescom 2018 The Division 2 Takes Aim with a Quick In-Game Trailer
Squad up
Ubisoft's released a new trailer for The Division 2. It's a short one but potentially sweet if you're feeling the hype for this promising looking sequel. It's all in-game footage and we're liking the look of the open world, which is immediately a lot more colourful than the first game's bleak and wintry New York. Are you looking...
Gamescom 2018 Battlefield V Introduces the Company
Action men and women
EA’s making a meal out of Battlefield V’s new Company feature, but what it boils down to is customisation. Across the first-person shooter's two factions – Britain and Germany – you’ll be able to completely personalise the title’s four main classes. This expands to both cosmetic changes and ability upgrades, allowing...
Gamescom 2018 Train with Rocky Balboa in CREED: Rise to Glory
We like the cut of its jab
You’ve always wanted to hang out with Rocky Balboa, right? Now you can. CREED: Rise to Glory is inspired by the movie starring Michael B. Jordan, and will see you assume the role of Adonis as you fight your way to the top alongside Sly Stallone’s iconic alter-ego. It’s looking neat in this teaser trailer; developer...
Gamescom 2018 Fly Away with 11 Minutes of Ace Combat 7 Gameplay
Top gun
Oh, yes – this is just what the doctor ordered. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown looks every inch the cheesy arcade dogfighter we’ve been waiting all generation for. This 11 minute gameplay demo shows a pretty experienced player laying waste to a series of enemy strongholds, all to the sound of inane babble from characters named ‘Tabloid’...
Gamescom 2018 Dante Steps Up in New Devil May Cry 5 Trailer
The man himself
Devil May Cry 5 is making its presence felt at Gamescom 2018, and it's not quite done yet. Alongside a confirmed release date, it's wheeled out a brand new trailer which largely consists of gameplay footage. The highlight here, though, comes right at the end, as we get to see Dante in action. He looks way more over-the-top than...
Gamescom 2018 Devil May Cry 5 Locks On to a March 2019 Release Date
Pull that devil trigger
Capcom has slapped a release date on Devil May Cry 5, confirming that it will indeed launch in March of next year, as previous speculation suggested. If you haven't seen it already, there's loads of gameplay footage doing the rounds across the 'net, so get a good eyeful if you fancy getting hyped. Anyway, the date to mark on...
Gamescom 2018 NBA 2K19 Attracts Hollywood Talent for Story Mode
Hollyoaks talent, too
The story modes in sports games have become bigger budget productions in recent years, and NBA 2K19 is no exception. 2K Sports has attracted some pretty big names for ‘The Way Back’, which will see you working your way through the Chinese Basketball League and back into the NBA. Among some of the stars are Anthony Mackie...
Gamescom 2018 Join Clarkson, Hammond, and May in The Grand Tour Game
The best racing game... in the world
Well, we weren't expecting this. Old Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May took a detour to Amazon a few years ago, where they've been working on their own car show, The Grand Tour. Now, it seems there's a video game adaptation in development, imaginatively named The Grand...
Gamescom 2018 Take a Look at 14 Minutes of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Gameplay
Ninja souls
The reaction to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has been somewhat muted, as it's changing a lot of what people expect from a FromSoftware action game. However, in this lengthy look at gameplay of the studio's new title, the game appears to still have some Souls DNA. It's clear that the action is more fast-paced, and it looks as though you'll...
Gamescom 2018 Cool Looking Strategy RPG Mutant Year Zero Gets a December Release Date
Take your turn
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden grabbed our attention earlier in the year with a cool announcement trailer, and now the post-apocalyptic strategy RPG has a confirmed release date. As if the release schedule wasn't already way too busy, Mutant Year Zero is set to launch on the 4th December. We reckon the game's...
Gamescom 2018 Cyberpunk 2077 Gets New First-Person Screenshots, Certainly Looks Like a PS5 Game
Through cybernetic eyes
CD Projekt Red has released four new Cyberpunk 2077 screenshots. They're supposedly in-engine and representative of what the the finish game will look like. They're also from a first-person perspective, so this is basically what you're going to see while playing, minus any HUD elements. It's unclear whether this is all...
Gamescom 2018 Uncut RAGE 2 Gameplay Shoots to Kill
Bang bang
IGN's nabbed 9 minutes of RAGE 2 gameplay at Gamescom 2018, and the whole thing's totally uncut. It's got hefty looking gunplay, a glimpse at some special abilities, and wingsticks. You know, that boomerang-style weapon from the first game. How do you think RAGE 2 is shaping up? Aim for the head in the comments section below.
Gamescom 2018 Open World Action Game BioMutant Is Back with Loads of Gameplay
Still a 2018 release
Remember that weird looking open world action game, BioMutant? Well it's reappeared at Gamescom 2018, bringing a trailer (above) and over 15 minutes of gameplay (below). The title's still looking quite unique and rather promising, with publisher THQ Nordic calling it "an open-world, post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable RPG, with a...
Gamescom 2018 Transference Looks Trippy in New Gameplay Video
Glitching out
We recently got news of a release date for Transference - 18th September - as well as a playable demo, but that's not the end of it. A new gameplay trailer has emerged online, giving us five minutes of footage from this creepy-looking PSVR game. It's suitably atmospheric, and while you can also play it without VR, this one looks like...
Gamescom 2018 Great Assassin's Creed Odyssey Trailers Ask Which Character You're Playing As
Live by the sword
Ubisoft has released a couple of pretty great trailers for Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Both are cinematic, but they feature little cuts of gameplay here and there, while also showing off bits of the open world. The one we've embedded above focuses on Alexios, the game's playable male character, and the one below has Kassandra, the...

New screenshots too

"Claire Redfield has been on a mission to find her missing brother Chris – a mission that brings her to Raccoon City...
Gamescom 2018 Devil May Cry 5 Gameplay Is Slick, Super Stylish, and Exactly What We Wanted
Devil triggered
Phwoar! Devil May Cry is back in fashion, and it's look very promising. IGN has captured 15 minutes of Devil May Cry 5 gameplay (we know it's the Xbox One version, by the way) and it looks sick. Like, sick as in sick. It looks fast, fluid, and totally over-the-top. There are some sweet moves...
Gamescom 2018 You Can Ride Horses in Farming Simulator 19
Someone cull the crops
You can ride horses in Farming Simulator 19, which is one hell of an addition to a franchise that grows with each instalment.

Gamescom 2018 Tira Joins SoulCalibur VI as First DLC Character, Fans Aren't Too Happy
Ring of death
Oh come on Bandai Namco, you were doing so well. Tira, once again wielding her giant ring of death, has been revealed as a returning character in SoulCalibur VI, but she won't technically be part of the title's starting roster. To unlock her, you either need to buy the game's season pass (which is yet to be fully detailed), or...
