As Gamescom 2019 draws closer, now with less than a month to go, more developers and publishers are starting to announce their playable titles for one of the biggest gaming events of the year.
Over the past few weeks we’ve seen lineups from Microsoft and Xbox, who will be showcasing Xbox Game Studios titles for the console and PC, as well as Nintendo, who will be debuting the highly-anticipated The Witcher 3 port for the Switch during the event. Smaller publishers and developers like Microids, THQ Nordic and Wired Productions have also announced their lineup of playable titles for Gamescom 2019. Just yesterday, we also got a look at the publishers who will be presenting during the Opening Night Live event on August 19, to be hosted by Geoff Keighley.
This time, we’re now getting a look at playable titles from another big Japanese publisher, Sega. The company announced two games, a console and one unannounced title for its lineup this year, all of which are detailed below.
