what's going on everybody morm here this

time bringing you some highlights from

the Gamescom opening show last night

talking about of course the things that

were announced that I thought were

particularly interesting especially in

regards to my own channel and future

coverage so with that in mind I'm not

covering absolutely everything now not

technically speaking part of the

Gamescom show but something that was

also announced yesterday was that

Bloodlines 2 was delayed until the first

half of 2025 out of 2024 of course and I

wanted to sneak that in there somewhere

now first up kicking off the show they

had the announcement of Borderlands 4

for 2025 sometime and they did this with

a announcement trailer so not much else

to say but the main thing I wanted to

mention here is that it was kind of

funny seeing this announced on the back

of that pretty disastrous movie launch

they had recently and it kind of felt

like this did not gather a lot ofy let's

say so I guess we'll see what happens

there now personally I don't really play

Borderlands simply because the art style

is a little rough for me personally it

tends to give me headaches but moving

right along next up we have Dying Light

the Beast putting us back in the shoes

of Kyle Crane and that's pretty much all

the information we have to go on and

they showed off some gameplay but that's

really all there is to say about that

one then we have the announcement of

Path of Exile 2's Early Access date so

that is coming to Early Access on

November 15th and they had a new trailer

and everything to go with it that showed

some pretty impressive gameplay looked

pretty great but obviously we won't have

too much longer to wait for ourselves to

potentially try that one out I know I'm

looking forward to testing it out at the

very least but it is early access though

do keep that in mind following that up

we have two pieces of Starfield news one

is that right now available at the time

that they dropped the announcement but

also at the time of this video vehicles

are officially in the game you can go

fire the game up right now and

experience those for yourself and they

showed off some gameplay footage of that

and some of the things the vehicles

could do including like boosting and

working in different gravity levels that

kind of stuff and overall it looks

pretty fun now the more exciting news to

me personally there was that they also

announced a date for the upcoming DLC

shattered space which is September 30th

that's going to see us investigating

house Veron and it looks to be

appropriately weird now just after this

we had the Space Marine 2 trailer

nothing much to say here it's launching

in a few weeks nothing you probably

don't already know but the trailer

looked fun and I'm excited to kill some

tyranids Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 also

received a trailer following the recent

announcement of their official release

date which is technically a small delay

but they never released the date and it

is coming on February 11th of 2025 and

they showed off some new gameplay and

things to go along with that as well

Diablo I also had a little bit to show

for their upcoming expansion mostly that

they are are adding like mercenaries to

the game to join you on your adventures

alongside the other new features coming

with that DLC or expansion if you prefer

and while I plan on playing that

expansion I don't know exactly what I'm

going to do with it just yet as the

updates they've continually made since

the launch of that game have kind of put

me off playing it for a while following

that up though with unknown n this is an

upcoming action adventure set in an

established Universe of unknown 9 and I

believe this is like their first foray

into video games though and it's about

people who can Venture into a mysterious

Dimension known as The Fold which then

gives them access to all sorts of powers

and stuff and I don't know how that

one's going to do exactly in terms of

like video game releases but it looks

interesting enough for me to take a look

at it and that one got some more

gameplay and a release date of October

18th second to last we then have a

little trailer and some small

information about Mafia the old country

so the next installment of the mafia

series but this time they're taking it

back to the roots of the mafia or the

mob all the way back in Sicily in the

1900s which I thought was such a really

cool idea for a game like that I'm

actually kind of excited just on the

premise but obviously we'll need to see

like gameplay details and stuff to make

much of a further distinction but just

the premise alone of that has me

intrigued and then last but not least

wrapping it up with Indiana Jones we got

a release date and a bunch more gameplay

and stuff but the game itself is

officially slated for December mber 9th

gameplay wise it's pretty much what

you'd expect and everything we've seen

up to this point already so not too much

new to share there but we do have an

official release date for it and I

believe they opened up like pre-orders

and everything if that's your cup of tea

but that is pretty much everything as

far as the stuff I was interested in now

that said as expected we did finally get

some release dates here and I'm able to

sort of organize my schedule for the

last few months of the year in terms of

what I'll be reviewing and everything

and so far it kind of bizarrely looks

like September of all things is going to

be the busiest with October November and

December only having a couple of games

each in terms of new releases thanks to

the things that got pushed out into 2025

but as for today that's pretty much

going to do it I hope you enjoyed the

video hope you found all this

information useful if you did don't

forget to like comment subscribe all the

YouTube jazz let me know what you feel

about all this down in the comment

section below and of course feel free to

share anything that I may have missed

that you thought was really cool but

that's going to do it for today so thank

you so much for watching I really do

appreciate it may you wander in wisdom

and have an amazing day
