The 13 Best Opening Night Live Trailers at Gamescom 2025
Europe's big gaming event of the year, Gamescom 2025, has kicked off with Opening Night Live, an extensive trailer showcase giving early looks at the biggest games coming later this year and into 2026. Last year's Gamescom 2024 Opening Night Live had a ton of reveals, including Mafia: The Old Country and trailers for then-upcoming games like Marvel Rivals, Dune Awakening and more. This year's showcase had some big reveals and some tantalizingly short teases -- like around 20 seconds of Silksong, the long-awaited sequel/spinoff to indie darling Hollow Night. Below are the biggest trailers for the two-hour Opening Night Live event. Fallout: Season 2 Amazon's Fallout show was a delightful surprise, faithfully adapting a beloved gaming franchise -- and just being pretty darn good. Gamescom 2025 features the debut trailer of the second season, which arrives Dec. 17, as well as an on-stage chat with the showrunners and stars Ella Purnell and Aaron Moten. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 We got our first long look at the story, which mixes cerebral mindscapes with your typical fast-paced Call of Duty combat. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice anime Yes, FromSoftware's cult favorite samurai game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is getting an anime adaptation called Sekiro: No Defeat. The trailer shows the game's protagonist, swordsman Wolf, both before and after he receives his prosthetic arm -- suggesting we could see things both before and during the course of the original game. The anime will debut on Crunchyroll at an unstated date. Resident Evil: Requiem We got a brief look at Resident Evil: Requiem (aka Resident Evil 9) at Summer Game Fest, but this trailer shows a peek at player character Grace Ashcroft and her mother -- before things get bad. Details are scarce about the story, though Capcom has insisted that the game will lean way more into horror and terror than other recent entries in the series, like the run-and-gun Resident Evil 8. Black Myth Wukong sequel revealed Chinese developer Game Science wowed the games world with Black Myth Wukong, and Gamescom 2025 featured the reveal trailer of the next game in its series, Black Myth: Zhong Kui, which will be another action-adventure game based on Chinese myth -- in this case, the ghost-catching god Zhong Kui. Monster Hunter Wilds x Final Fantasy 14 Well this is fun: a crossover between two of the biggest games in the world, Monster Hunter Wilds, which was released earlier this year, and perennial MMORPG Final Fantasy 14. Both games will get content from each other -- here's the trailer for the Monster Hunter Wilds portion coming late October and here's one for the Final Fantasy 14 portion coming late September. Silent Hill F The next big Silent Hill game got another trailer and plenty of teases for the lore of the title, which is set in the 1960s in Japan. Onimusha: Way of the Sword It's been nearly 20 years since the last new Onimusha game came out, and now we've got another look at Onimusha: Way of the Sword -- which looks to preserve the originals' sword-and-parry combat with other magical weapons. Demons, bosses and brutal executions abound in the Onimusha trailer. Cronos: The New Dawn Bloober Team's follow-up to last year's Silent Hill 2 remake, we got another look at Cronos: The New Dawn. This peek showed some of the gameplay for its third-person shooter combat as well as a ton of the hideous monsters you'll encounter in the game, which launches soon, on Sept. 5. Outer Worlds 2 Obsidian's sequel to the space action RPG Outer Worlds got a trailer showcasing the companions you'll meet and fight alongside in the game. "And no, you can't sleep with them," the trailer voiceover cheekily pointed out. Boooo. Ninja Gaiden 4 The next trailer for Ninja Gaiden 4 includes looks at boss fights, including giant robots and futuristic samurai with stylized armor. While demons and ninja fights are still in the game, the futuristic setting looks more prominent than we'd previously seen. Ghost of Yotei Another trailer from the upcoming sequel to Ghost of Tsushima has dropped, showing more gameplay, from traversal across beautiful lands to swordfights in the snow. The beautiful tale of revenge is coming Oct. 2 -- and the DLC, Ghost of Yotei Legends, is coming in 2026. World of Warcraft: Midnight The next big expansion to the long-running MMORPG World of Warcraft, titled Midnight, is coming soon -- and Blizzard Entertainment has, in its grand tradition, unveiled a riveting story trailer to set the stage for the next chapter in Azeroth's story.

Charges laid after stolen utility trailers sold online: Calgary police
A police vehicle is shown at Calgary Police Service headquarters in Calgary, Alta., on April 9, 2020. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh) Two Calgarians are facing dozens of charges after allegedly selling nine stolen utility trailers. Police say the trailers were stolen from Calgary and Cochrane between October 2023 and December 2024. They were sold online with fraudulent Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs). On Feb. 6, investigators searched a home in the 8000 block of 34 Avenue N.W., seizing 191 identity documents, trailer 're-VINning' equipment, a .22-caliber rifle and ammunition. Police then worked to recover all nine of the stolen utility trailers, which were returned to their respective owners. The victimized buyers, however, suffered a cumulative loss of $77,500. A 40-year-old Calgary woman and a 39-year-old Calgary man are facing more than 50 charges in total. 'Investigations like this highlight the serious impact of property crime. The impact is not just in financial loss, but in the violation of trust,' said Insp. Keith Hurley in a Monday news release. 'Our goal is always to protect Calgarians and prevent others from becoming victims.'

AMC Theatres is Planning to Shorten Its Pre-Show Ads Following Blowback From Studios — GeekTyrant
Everyone who frequents movie theaters these days is well aware that when the lights dim, there's still a fair amount of time before your movie begins. You have ads, trailers, and the theatre's commercial to sit through before you even get to the movie you came for, and sometimes I am left wondering what it is I came to watch after seeing all the content that came before it. But one of the country's biggest chains is looking to downsize that wait time. After blowback from some major Hollywood studios over AMC Theatres' decision to book more ads before each movie's showtime, Deadline reports that the No. 1 circuit is working to shorten its preshow. It's still early and specific details are unknown, but there's hope that a shave can be done by year's end. News leaked back in June that as of July 1, AMC had worked a deal with National CineMedia Inc. to run spots during each movie's pre-shows, specifically a platinum spot. AMC's rivals, i.e. the repsective No. 2 and 3 chains Regal and Cinemark, already were participating in this ad revenue stream. AMC didn't see any business deteriorating for the competition, and it opted into the National CineMedia pact. Execs at the major studios were upset by the move, angry that moviegoers no longer were sitting through their in-cinema trailers for future movies due to lengthy preshows — a very powerful piece of marketing as moviegoing begets more moviegoing. Adding more fuel to the fire was AMC running a notice on its ticket-buying portal: 'Please allow 25-30 extra minutes for trailers and additional content before the movie starts.' Some studio execs read that notice as, 'Hey, moviegoers, why don't you just skip the pre-show until the movie starts?' Myriad studios launched their own studies last month noticing that the preshows for the top three chains ran from 24-28 minutes before one particular new wide release that weekend in SoCal. One internal study observed that only 80% of the audience were in their seats to watch trailers a mere four minutes before a movie began. 80% sounds solid to me, and I would assume that those 20% are either running late, buying concessions, or hitting the bathroom before the movie starts. No one is truly paying attention to those ads, as people do their best these days to avoid commercials and ads wherever they come across them. But AMC shortening their intro sounds like a positive move to me, and executives can go on to pretend that the ads that remain are making a difference.
