Today (August 20) sees the opening of the world's biggest gaming expo, gamescom, with four press conferences taking place over the next two days.

Each conference from Cologne in Germany is expected to reveal new games for the first time, and show new features and details for anticipated titles on next-gen consoles.

You can watch two of these conferences from EA and Sony - which are taking place this afternoon and early this evening - using the embedded live streams below.

We'll also be posting separate live blogs of each conference, which will go live 30 minutes before they begin, and will remain online afterwards so you can catch up with any announcements you may have missed.

However, Microsoft will be hosting a non-streamed conference at 9:30am UK time, which we'll be live tweeting at @digitalspygames and then followed up with news stories.

The same applies with Blizzard tomorrow afternoon (August 21) at 10:30am. No stream, but you can follow updates on Twitter, followed by in-depth reports shortly afterward.
