But what is Opening Night Live? Gamescom Opening Night Live is a showcase that officially kicks off the huge European gaming convention and is hosted by The Game Awards’ Geoff Keighley. This is only the second year the showcase is taking place and, unlike last year, this year’s event will be a “fully digital show” – you know, because of the pandemic.
