Gaming’s biggest summer party in Europe is getting a horror-flavored twist this year. The Future Games Show at Gamescom 2026 is officially on the way, and organizers have revealed who will be steering the broadcast: the dynamic zombie-killing duo of Nick Apostolides and Angela Sant’Albano. If you’re wondering how and where to catch all the reveals, trailers, and world premieres, here’s everything you need to know.
What Is the Future Games Show at Gamescom?
The Future Games Show is GamesRadar’s flagship digital showcase, and over the past few years it has grown into one of the most reliable events on the gaming calendar for fresh footage and surprise announcements. The Gamescom edition traditionally airs alongside the massive trade fair in Cologne, Germany — the largest video game event in the world — giving fans who can’t attend in person a front-row seat to the action.
Each edition of the show typically packs in dozens of games spanning PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and VR, mixing big-budget blockbusters with standout indie gems. For players hunting for their next purchase, it’s essentially a giant, free shopping preview.
Meet the 2026 Hosts: A Zombie-Killing Duo
Nick Apostolides: The Voice of Leon Kennedy
Gaming fans will instantly recognize Nick Apostolides as the voice of Leon S. Kennedy in Capcom’s acclaimed Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 remakes. His performances made him a fan favorite in the survival horror community, and his charisma should translate perfectly to hosting duties.
Angela Sant’Albano
He’s joined by Angela Sant’Albano, and as PC Gamer notes, the pair arrive with serious zombie-slaying credentials. It’s a fitting bit of casting for a showcase that always delivers a few horror-tinged surprises of its own.
The Future Games Show has a tradition of tapping beloved voice actors as hosts — past editions have featured talent like Troy Baker and Laura Bailey — and this Resident Evil-flavored pairing continues that trend with a distinctly undead twist.
How to Watch the Future Games Show at Gamescom 2026
The showcase will be completely free to watch and is expected to stream live during Gamescom 2026, which runs in late August in Cologne. As in previous years, viewers can tune in via the official Future Games Show channels on YouTube and Twitch, as well as through partner platforms and GamesRadar itself. Exact broadcast dates and times should be confirmed closer to the event, and the full show will naturally be available on demand afterward for anyone who misses the live premiere.
What to Expect From This Year’s Showcase
While the full lineup remains under wraps, expectations are sky-high. Gamescom week has become a prime window for publishers to spotlight titles heading into the busy holiday season, and with 2026 shaping up to be one of the biggest years in gaming history — thanks in no small part to the arrival of Grand Theft Auto VI in November — there’s no shortage of hype to build on.
Based on previous editions, viewers can likely look forward to world premiere trailers, developer interviews, extended gameplay deep dives, and the show’s signature mix of hidden indie treasures sitting comfortably alongside AAA heavyweights. The famous “One More Thing” closing segment is also a safe bet for at least one final surprise.
