Everything you need to know about next week’s show

Next week the PlayStation team will be decamping to Cologne, Germany, for the annual Gamescom extravaganza, where gamers from across the continent converge to get their hands on the biggest titles hitting the racks soon.

As per tradition, we’ll be holding a media briefing to showcase the huge variety of games coming to PlayStation platforms later this year and into 2015. Expect new game announcements alongside updates on some of the blockbuster titles you’ll be playing this winter.

The briefing will commence at 6.00pm BST/7.00pm CET on Tuesday 12th August and will be livestreamed in full right here on PlayStation Blog through our dedicated Gamescom hub page, in English, Spanish and German – so set your bookmarks. You’ll be able to watch the stream through your PC, Mac, smartphone or tablet. Or, if you’d rather, through the PS4 browser, PlayStation Home on PS3, on our Facebook page, via Twitch or through a single Tweet in our Twitter feed.

Once the show is over, you can read more about all the key announcements here on PlayStation Blog, and we’ll be reporting from the showfloor all week via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. If you use the latter, follow along using the #PlayStationGC hashtag to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

Finally, if you’re attending the show, make sure you stop by the huge PlayStation stand and get your hands-on a huge variety of up and coming titles, including DRIVECLUB, Bloodborne, LittleBigPlanet 3 and The Order 1886, to name but a few.

It should be a great week for gamers, wherever you are in the globe, and we’ll be doing our best to ensure you don’t miss a thing!
