New entries included **Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2**, **Mortal Shell II**, **Star Wars Zero Company**, and remastered classics such as **The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered** and **The Sinking City 2**. Additional titles highlighted in the latest release list were **Lies of P: Complete Edition** (Switch 2, Aug 5), the **Gears of War: E‑Day** beta (PC/Xbox, early August), and a broader mix of indie and AAA games across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC and the new Nintendo Switch 2.

As Gamescom 2026 approached, German gaming editors emphasized the August slate, noting that more than 30 new PS5 and PS4 titles are slated for release. Among them, **Beast of Reincarnation** and **Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls** were highlighted as marquee attractions for the expo, underscoring the month’s dense and diverse lineup across all major platforms.
