Fable, GTA 6, The Witcher 3 & Blood of Dawnwalker - We're back from Gamescom 2026!

from Swapping Joysticks · host Ben Austwick & Ed Nightingale

We’re back from Gamescom 2026! After a week in Cologne, we’re talking through the best games we played and saw at the show, including Fable, The Blood of Dawnwalker, The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, Castlevania and Gears of War. We also go through the biggest announcements from Gamescom Opening Night Live, before getting into GTA VI and whether Rockstar’s latest showing has made us any more excited for what is probably going to be the biggest game ever. Plus, we look ahead to a ridiculously busy September, pick out the games worth keeping an eye on and share some of our favourite stories from Gamescom. And somewhere along the way, Ed squirts a pickle.
