Microsoft has announced plans to return to gamescom this year with what it says is its biggest booth ever at the German games show.<\/p>\n

Gamescom 2024, which runs from August 21-25, will see Xbox maker Microsoft showcase the likes of Obsidian\u2019s Avowed, Bethesda\u2019s The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76, and Blizzard\u2019s Diablo 4 expansion Vessel of Hatred and World of Warcraft expansion The War Within. It is Blizzard’s first gamescom following Microsoft’s $69 billion aquisition of Activision Blizzard last year.<\/p>\n

The Xbox team is heading BACK to @gamescom<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Xbox (@Xbox) June 20, 2024<\/a> <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the list of games Microsoft said it\u2019s bringing to gamescom 2024 (this list is not comprehensive \u2014 expect more announcements at the show):<\/p>\n

Age of Mythology: Retold<\/a>Avowed<\/a>Ara: History Untold<\/a>Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred<\/a>Diablo Immortal<\/a>The Elder Scrolls Online<\/a>Fallout 76<\/a>Towerborne<\/a>World of Warcraft: The War Within<\/a><\/p>\n

Sony and Nintendo, meanwhile, have confirmed they are skipping gamescom 2024. Sony told Eurogamer<\/a> it has no plans for the show, and Nintendo confirmed the same<\/a> back in April.<\/p>\n

While Sony\u2019s decision was expected (it hasn\u2019t attended gamescom in years), Nintendo\u2019s decision came as something of a surprise given it has turned up at gamescom in recent years. But given the Nintendo Switch successor console<\/a> isn\u2019t due out until 2025, a quieter 2024 makes sense.<\/p>\n

Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo outlined what to expect from PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch respectively during each company\u2019s summer showcase: Sony\u2019s got Astro Bot, Lego Horizon Adventures, and Concord due out in 2024; Microsoft has Avowed, Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred, and World of Warcraft: The War Within; and Nintendo has The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and, creeping into early 2025, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.<\/p>\n

On the hardware front, Microsoft has a new series of upgrades for both the Xbox Series X and S<\/a>, including an all-digital Series X, all of which will be available this holiday. Sony is reportedly set to release a PS5 Pro<\/a> model later this year, too.<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s confirmed attendance at gamescom 2024 comes amid deep cuts at its gaming business, which have seen some 1,900 staff let go<\/a> and the closure of Redfall developer Arkane Austin and Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks<\/a>, among other studios. Xbox boss Phil Spencer, who will no-doubt be at gamescom 2024 to show off the company’s games, told IGN recently<\/a>: “I have to run a sustainable business inside the company and grow, and that means sometimes I have to make hard decisions that frankly are not decisions I love, but decisions that somebody needs to go make.”<\/p>\n
