Bandai Namco will have an announcement to make at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne, and will bring eleven playable games at its booth.

Today Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe announced its games lineup for Gamescom 2018.

The publisher's booth (Hall 6 - B 41) will include "no less than eleven" playable titles, of which eight have been disclosed today via press release.

Attendees will be able to enjoy the following:

Jump Force
SoulCalibur VI
Dragon Ball FighterZ for Nintendo Switch
One Piece: World Seeker
Code Vein
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
My Hero One's Justice
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker

Apparently, three games are not listed in the press release, but a comment from Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe Vice President of Marketing and Digital Hervé Hoerdt includes a hint, mentioning that a new co-publishing project "that fans will be very excited about" will be announced at the show.

While the press release does not mention it, considering what was mentioned by Producer Kazutoki Kono just before E3, I would be surprised if we didn't get the announcement of the release date of Ace Combat 7. Of course, keep in mind that this is just my speculation based on an interview, so take it with the customary grain of salt.

Gamescom will be held in Cologne, Germany from August 21st to August 25th. Of course, DualShockers will be on the show floor ready to report on all the news and get our hands on all the game, so stay tuned for a lot of coverage right here.
