Sub-Saharan Africa's Video Game Industry To Exceed $1B in 2024

Major corporations including Microsoft, Sony PlayStation, and the House of Mario Nintendo are anticipated to participate at the Gamescom event, the biggest gaming expo of the year. High-profile games are anticipated to be shown off with such a strong presence. Fans are given a short selection of games to look forward to.

Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will be completely remade by a company called Virtuous, according to Konami. At a PlayStation demonstration earlier this year, the game was unveiled.

The game’s fans are undoubtedly highly enthusiastic, and they have great hopes for its remake as well. Given that this developer has collaborated with Bluepoint Games on remakes like Demon Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.

Silent Hill 2

The Bloober Team is in charge of yet another remake. They have stated that they want to maintain the classic game’s fidelity to the original. Bloober Team made a big fuss of this game’s use of Unreal Engine 5 when it was first revealed earlier this year.

During the forthcoming Gamescom event, it will be exciting to observe how this game is developing.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake

Oblivion remake rumors have been circulating for some time, but the public hasn’t shown much interest in them. The fact that this game is being created at Virtuous is one of the most significant aspects.

As they work on it, the antiquated Oblivion engine is integrated with Unreal Engine 5. This is being done to improve the aesthetics while maintaining the gameplay of the original game.

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf

There is still a lot of interest in classic role-playing games, as the recent release of Baldur’s Gate 3 has demonstrated. So it won’t be shocking if Bioware and Electronic Arts decide to gin up fan excitement for their forthcoming role-playing game, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

If fans are lucky, they could even get a brief preview of the gameplay or possibly a demo. There cannot be a better time to showcase this game than now.

Stalker 2

Stalker 2 will undoubtedly be present at Gamescom 2023 if Microsoft brings Xbox. For many first-person shooter fans, this highly attractive game is at the top of the list.

This game, a follow-up to one of the spookiest post-apocalyptic games of all time, will undoubtedly draw fans of Metro and Fallout.

Forza Motorsport

Gran Turismo 7 was released by Sony a while back. The game was a visual wonder that was breathtaking to look at. The creators of the Forza Motorsport series are now prepared to introduce their own interpretation of the driving simulation genre.

The game unquestionably has amazing visuals. Turn 10 Studios put so much effort into creating this game that they even gave the tires on those cars some of the most lifelike ones ever seen in a video game.

To watch what they choose to present at Gamescom would be quite intriguing.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Naturally, CD Projekt Red will attend Gamescom 2023. They will carry the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 expansion with them, so fans can relax.

The original game will become something new thanks to the expansion. Along with Keanu Reeves, who is currently a part of this series, Idris Elba will also feature in this extension.

Nintendo Switch 2

At the potential unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2, the clock’s hands finally come to a stop. Undoubtedly one of this year’s most eagerly awaited announcements. According to reports, the system will have nearly as much power as Sony’s PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 4 Pro.

If Nintendo chooses to reveal this platform during the Gamescom Event, it will be quite intriguing to see what games they select to exhibit with it. Rumors suggest Q2 launch next year, with announcement likely at Gamescom, providing an opportunity to announce.
