Best games trailers from Gamescom 2016: FIFA 17, Mafia III and more

It’s that time of year again when the games industry meets en masse in Cologne for the biggest European videogames show, Gamescom.

And that means there are plenty of new games trailers emerging that you won’t have seen before.

All of the biggest games for the rest of 2016 and beyond are being exhibited at the show, which is for the trade and public, but you might not be able to head to the Koelnmesse yourself to check them out.

That’s why we’ve collected the best trailers we could find here, so you don’t feel left out.

FIFA 17

EA’s footy title adopts the Frostbite Engine for its graphics duties this time around so player models are more lifelike than ever before.

We also love that Premier League managers get their own celebrations, based on their real-life counterparts.

Tekken 7

The fighting game is coming in early 2017 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC and Bandai Namco announced during Gamescom that Lee Chaolan and his alter-ego Violet are joining as playable characters.

Here they are in all their glory.

Mafia III

We cannot wait for the full release of Mafia III. Everything we’ve seen so far has only raised our expectations.

And the 1960s soundtrack is almost worth it on its own.

Battlefield 1

After a fantastic E3 showing, Battlefield 1’s Gamescom level showed horses joining the fray for the first time.

The desert setting is also great for a massive multiplayer skirmish, as we found out in our hands-on play at the show.

Titanfall 2

The sequel to Titanfall might be languishing in the shadow of Battlefield 1 but it is no less important in the build up to Christmas.

A multiplayer tech test period will be held over the next two weeks, so you can find out why yourself.

PES 2017

With FIFA 17 heading in a new direction, with a story mode and new graphics, PES is finally back doing what it does best – super fast and frenetic gameplay.

What’s more, licence deals with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund add much needed real world kits and stadiums.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole

Having recently played through The Stick of Truth again, thanks to Xbox One backward compatibility, we’re ready for more hilarity with the sequel.

Here’s one-and-a-half minutes of gameplay for you to enjoy.

Steep

It’s been a while since a decent skiing and/or snowboarding game and Steep’s premise has great potential.

It features a massive open world in which to take part in multiple extreme sports activities, so is one to keep an eye on.
