Just Cause 4 Gameplay Trailer Square Enix is responsible for creating some of the most epic gaming titles, most notably the Final Fantasy and Just Cause series. While at E3 earlier this year, the developer gave us a glimpse of Just Cause 4. In the build-up to Gamescom, Square Enix unleashed a full-fledged gameplay trailer which showed the first proper look at tornadoes, which is one of the four “extreme weather” simulations that players will face in the game. Just Cause 4 launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on December 4.

Cyberpunk 2077 to be revealed in detail CD Projekt Red, which is also responsible for the Witcher series, will reveal more about its upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game. The first gameplay reveal of the title happened back in E3 2018 and although there is no news on the release of the game, Gamescom should reveal more details about this futuristic action RPG title.

Nintendo Indie titles for Switch Nintendo seems to have stolen the maximum spotlight ahead of Gamescom, releasing a flurry of Indie titles out of nowhere for the Switch console. Three of them, which are Bad North, Prison Architect: Nintendo Switch Edition, and Morphies Law, can be played from today onwards. The full list of titles can be seen below.
