Gamescom is coming!

We've finally touched down in Germany and made it to the beautiful city of Cologne, which can only mean one thing: Gamescom 2013!

Over the next week we'll be bringing you news of the latest announcements, hands-on previews of the latest games and exclusive interviews with the biggest names in the industry.

There are several things that we're excited about seeing at Gamescom 2013, and top of the list is more time with the next-generation consoles. The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are set to dominate the headlines yet again as they go head-to-head to determine which console will come out on top at the end of the year.

Expect Microsoft to announce a new, exclusive game for the Xbox One to get audiences cheering. If rumours are to be believed we're expecting a new Crackdown, but hopefully a new Gears of War or Halo isn't asking for too much.

Sony will reveal more details for their exclusive games and you can watch their conference live here on ArabicGamers.com, while hopefully both platform holders will announce solid release dates for their consoles so that we can put them in our diaries.

We'll also be seeing a lot of the biggest games due for release at the end of 2013, including the likes of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Watch Dogs, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Marvel Heroes and many more.

Next-generation FIFA 14 is also on our to-do list and we'll be bringing you an exclusive interview with executive producer David Rutter, asking him all the tough questions including: Messi or Ronaldo?

Much to see and do then and we can't wait to get started. Keep checking back with us throughout the week to stay up to date with the latest from the world of gaming. Auf wiedersehen!
