Space exploration, alternate universes, and an unwelcome interruption were some of the most memorable moments from this year's Gamescom.
The commencement of Europe's largest gaming show normally presents a significant opportunity for admirers eager to observe their beloved series.
A large crowd of people were present in Germany and numerous others watched remotely.
Here is a list of the most memorable aspects from the evening, such as a ground-breaking event in gaming.
We are now only a few days away from the commencement of this massive interstellar journey, offering an expansive universe that includes numerous planetary bodies.
Developed by Bethesda, the makers of the after-the-end Fallout franchise and magical Elder Scrolls title, this one's sure to be a hit.
Todd Howard, the executive producer of the game, shared with us how the story begins.
The player became a part of The Constellation, which he referred to as "NASA combined with Indiana Jones".
A glance was then taken at a live-action trailer, indicating some of the exploration gamers can anticipate, yet without any genuine images from the title.
It's hardly a shocker these days when a new installment of the Call of Duty (CoD) franchise is released, and the focus this year is set to be on Modern Warfare 3.
It was already known that the game had a new story mode, multiplayer, and the Zombies survival mode that has traditionally only been seen in Black Ops entries.
We've now had a peek at what lies ahead for the protagonists of the series, and we were able to view a more detailed demonstration of the game's first level, known as Operation 627.
Hardcore fans of the series were given something to be excited about, as news broke that the players will be returning to Verdansk - the scene of the original CoD Warzone game.
It has been a long 13-year wait for devotees of the horror video game Alan Wake, yet the sequel is nearly here after only a few more weeks.
A new trailer is likely to have increased the level of excitement, with more information revealed about a mysterious dream world.
A combination of live action footage featuring actors and computer generated graphics will be utilized.
Our objective is to create a game that is as creepy and eerie as it can be.
Gamers will be able to determine if they have achieved success when they obtain it.
The renowned Assassin's Creed franchise takes gamers to some of the most intriguing sites throughout history.
This occasion has people discussing it for a different reason.
At a major international game conference, a trailer featured a full Arabic language voiceover, with English included as subtitles for the first time.
When gamers explore the historic cityscape with the main character Basim, who they previously encountered in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, they will experience full Arabic language voice acting with the game Assassin's Creed Mirage.
The smoothness of the opening night conference's presentation wasn't flawless.
A single individual made an unexpected appearance at the event, presumably as a form of protest against the scant information currently available on the much awaited Grand Theft Auto 6.
Geoff Keighley's presentation was disrupted when a voice interjected claiming "Bill Clinton desires to partake in GTA 6".
It seemed to be related to Matan Even, the YouTuber also known as the Bill Clinton Kid, who attended the event last year.
The crowd erupted in boos as he was taken away.
Geoff Keighley, host, expressed his disappointment, saying, "That's just so disappointing."
