FULL STORY
======================================================================

Xbox has confirmed its attendance at Gamescom 2024 in Cologne, and is 
bringing what it claims is its "biggest booth yet." 

The official Xbox account over on X / Twitter posted about the publisher's 
return to Gamescom from August 21-25, along with a list of games both 
upcoming and available to play now. Xbox states that there's more to come, 
but the current list as posted by the official account is as follows: Age of 
Mythology: Retold Avowed Ara: History Untold Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred 
Diablo Immortal The Elder Scrolls Online Fallout 76 Towerborne World of 
Warcraft: The War Within The Xbox team is heading BACK to @gamescomVisit us 
at our biggest booth yet August 21-25! #Xboxgamescom

No word yet as to which of the above games will be playable or strictly 
hands-off, but most are close enough to release and - in the case of 
Towerborne - had playable versions available at last year's Gamescom event. 
As such, it's easy to imagine most things here being playable. 

Despite the impressive showing, we're not expecting to see anticipated 
upcoming games like Fable or Perfect Dark at this year's event. Neither have 
concrete release dates (outside of the former's vague '2025' as revealed in 
its latest trailer). 

Xbox is to be the only one of the big three console manufacturers in 
attendance at this year's Gamescom. Sony has reportedly confirmed it will not 
be at the event for the sixth time in a row. Similarly, Nintendo confirmed 
earlier this year that it will be skipping Gamescom this year "after careful 
consideration." 

Nintendo would have plenty to show off at Gamescom 2024 given the blowout 
Nintendo Direct of a few days ago, but we expect it's likely full-steam ahead 
on preparing its next console, tentatively being referred to as Nintendo 
Switch 2 , before making itself known as big events like Gamescom again. You
