Numerous components will be recreated in detail and closer to life than ever before, for example the stunning SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, stadium of Borussia Dortmund or FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou. PES LEAGUE will also be included in PES 2018 in order to support the growing eSport culture. PES 2018 will be released on September 14^th for PlayStation®4, Xbox One™, PlayStation®3 and Xbox360™. The game will also be available via Steam in a version that has undergone substantial improvements in terms of aesthetics and content, ensuring the game enjoys parity with the current gen formats.

METAL GEAR SURVIVE is a spin-off of the METAL GEAR series that takes place in an alternative universe. The game will feature renowned gameplay elements of stealth and action while introducing new mechanics of exploration and survival – including a new co-op mode that supports up to four players. Visitors at gamescom will be able to experience the thrilling co-op mode. METAL GEAR SURVIVE will be released early 2018 on PlayStation®4, Xbox One™ and PC (Steam).

In hall 5.2, it’s time to duel: the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game will attract visitors with tournaments and demo duels, including the new rules and monsters from the Starter Deck – Link Strike – which is the latest addition to the world’s largest trading card games universe.
