Gamescom 2013 kicks off in Cologne, Germany on August 21, so expect plenty of game unveilings and announcements coming down the pipeline. Sony has announced that on August 20, it will be hosting its regular Gamescom press conference and promises that “the show will be packed with news on both announced and unannounced titles,” for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Vita. The conference will be streamed online on the PlayStation Blog, or on PlayStation Home at 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET.
After the press conference, Sony will also have a live panel discussion hosted by Dan Maher and will include some of the biggest names in PlayStation gaming such as Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, Beyond: Two Souls director David Cage, and Assassin’s Creed writer Darby McDevitt. The focus of the live panel discussion will be on “storytelling in games” and the first topic of discussion is actually opened to your voting right now.
