Games confirmed at Gamescom 2025 by Xbox

The list of playable games at the Xbox stand is impressive. Among them, the first public demo of Ninja Gaiden 4 stands out, the direct sequel to the classic action game that combines melee combat, platforms, and modern design with a classic flavor. It will also be the first time the public can play Grounded 2, now developed jointly by Obsidian and Eidos Montreal.

Other notable games include Hollow Knight: Silksong, which will have a demo on both PC and the new ROG Xbox Ally X, Sea of Thieves, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, and the highly anticipated expansion of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, titled The Order of Giants. The demo will allow players to play the base game and participate in a daily activity with themed prizes.

Additionally, an exclusive behind-closed-doors presentation of The Outer Worlds 2 will take place, set in the “Tomb of the Matriarch” complex, an area loaded with political symbolism and tense decisions. This guided theatrical experience will allow attendees to see part of the story and atmosphere of the new Obsidian RPG for the first time.
