Gamescom 2026 returns to Cologne from August 26 to 30 with a packed lineup of playable games, world premieres, developer showcases, indie releases and new gaming hardware.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV brings base building, four distinct factions, more than 70 campaign missions, Last Stand, Skirmish, and competitive multiplayer back to the battlefield.
