08/14/2018 08:57 pm EDT
Focus Home Interactive announced today its lineup for Gamescom with titles like Call of Cthulhu and The Surge 2 being brought to the convention for gameplay demos.
The event that's taking place in Cologne, Germany, kicks off exactly one week from today on August 21. It'll go on for the next few days until it ends on August 25, but during that time, media attendees and convention attendees will be able to try out many of the publisher's games that range from the battle royale genre farming simulator games.
Not all of the games will be playable to the general public, but that doesn't mean that those attending the convention and other staying at home won't get to hear about the games. A certain portion of the titles will be reserved for members of the media to play who will likely be able to share their impressions shortly afterward, those games seen below along with more details on the demos be they hands-on trials or hands-off presentations.
- Call of Cthulhu (Cyanide Studio): With the release planned for the end of October, journalists will be free to investigate on Darkwater Island for the first time with 90 minutes of hands-on gameplay.
- Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 (Tindalos Interactive): Journalists can enjoy hands-on gameplay with Tindalos' epic take on glorious, large-scale space battles set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
- The Surge 2 (Deck13): Deck 13 will unveil more gameplay with a 20-minute developer walkthrough showcasing the sequel's tightened mechanics, expanded environments and brutal combat.
- Space Hulk: Tactics (Cyanide Studio): The board game adaption set in Warhammer 40,000 universe will be playable for journalists eager to engage in bloody, tactical battles in gigantic Space Hulk!
- Fear The Wolves (Vostok Games): Exclusive developer interviews on what's planned for this intense Battle Royale FPS title, created by S.T.A.L.K.E.R. veterans.
Media guests won't have all the fun though with two games playable by the general admission attendees. Farming Simulator 19 and Insurgency: Sandstorm are both playable with farming and hardcore shooters rounding out Focus Home Interactive's lineup.
- Farming Simulator 19 (Giants Software) Hall 8.1, Booth B-021: Players will be free to harvest their way through this latest entry – including access to some of the hotly anticipated John Deere vehicles! Play for the first time at the "Farming" booth!
