Metro 2039, Alien Isolation 2, Fable and more to be showcased at Gamescom

Xbox has had an increasingly large presence at Gamescom in recent years and 2026 will be no different, with the company set to showcase first-party titles like Gears of War E‑Day and Fable, as well as major third-party titles like Metro 2039 and even Alien Isolation 2. 

As announced via Xbox Wire today, the company is preparing one of its biggest Gamescom showings yet. To mark Xbox’s 25th anniversary, the booth will feature 25 upcoming games and around 140 demo stations, giving attendees hands‑on access to many of the platform’s major upcoming releases.

Of course, there is plenty to look forward to for those not attending the event directly. Microsoft will be making a ton of announcements and showing new gameplay footage for upcoming games like Gears of War E-Day, Fable, Metro 2039, Alien Isolation 2, Minecraft Dungeons 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

Microsoft will also be streaming daily content throughout Gamescom, including developer interviews, new trailers and extended gameplay segments for many of the titles listed above. The company is also planning special programming to mark Xbox’s 25th anniversary, all of which will be available to watch on YouTube and Twitch during the event.

KitGuru Says: Alien Isolation 2 making an appearance here is certainly a surprise. The fact that Metro 2039 is being shown also bodes well, as I was a little worried that the game would be delayed until much later in 2027, versus its current February release window.
