2024 Gamescom announcements: Batman, Nikki, Marvel Rivals and more

Gamescom was crammed with over 60 game reveals this year
Papergames

Another year, another round of Gamescom announcements, and 2024 was crammed with over 60 trailers, updates, and reveals. We saw everything from Batman Arkham Shadow to Infinity Nikki, Monster Hunter Wilds, Civilization 7, and plenty more besides, and more than a few games actually have release dates as well – a rarity at these events.

There were a few surprises in the mix as well, including a Borderlands 4 reveal, and some poorly kept secrets, like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle coming to PS5. We also had a chance to see the game in action before the showcase, so check out our Indiana Jones preview if you haven’t already.

There’s a lot to get through, but we’ve condensed it all below with every Gamescom 2024 announcement.
