A lot is planned for Gamescom 2020 this week despite the show going fully digital. Aside from Opening Night Live on Thursday and the Awesome Indies Show on Saturday, IGN has teamed up with the expo for four days of coverage.

As far as what to expect, there will be new game announcements, trailers, and upgrades on previously-known titles. A number of Switch games are already confirmed, including Captain Tsubasa, Jump Force, Genshin Impact, Little Nightmares II, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, Haven, Remothered: Broken Porcelain, King’s Bounty II, Gonner 2, Minecraft Dungeons, Grindstone, Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World, and more.

Here’s the full schedule:

System: Switch
Release date: August 25, 2020
Developer: Metronomik
Publisher: Sold Out


No Straight Roads is a prime example of a game that is more than the sum of its parts. Its gameplay may be decent at best for the most part, but its constant explosion of beautiful art, vibrant colors, and glorious music make it an overall unforgettable experience that needs to be played firsthand to be fully appreciated. This makes it all the more unfortunate that its aesthetics are heavily compromised in its Switch version, sullying its single greatest selling point.

Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios have announced that the second of three Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath character skin packs will be available on Switch this week. Players can access the Klassic Femme Fatale DLC starting August 28.

The Klassic Femme Fatale Skin Pack features Mortal Kombat 3 inspired skins for Kitana, who is featured in her signature blue as “Sole Survivor Kitana,” Jade in iconic green attire as “Outworld Courier Jade” and Skarlet in her staple red as “Old Blood Skarlet.”

Here’s a trailer:
