As Gamescom 2019 draws closer, now with less than a month to go, more developers and publishers are starting to announce their playable titles for one of the biggest gaming events of the year.

Over the past few weeks we’ve seen lineups from Microsoft and Xbox, who will be showcasing Xbox Game Studios titles for the console and PC, as well as Nintendo who will be debuting the highly-anticipated The Witcher 3 port for the Switch console during the event. Smaller publishers and developers like Microids, THQ Nordic and Wired Productions have also announced their lineup of playable titles for Gamescom 2019. Just yesterday, we also got a look at the publishers who will be presenting during the Opening Night Live event on August 19, to be hosted by Geoff Keighley.

For this iteration, we’re taking a look at Square Enix, as the Japanese publisher has released their lineup of playable titles for Gamescom 2019. Check out the titles below.

Final Fantasy VII Remake – as is expected, Square Enix’s most highly anticipated project will be making its way to Europe for the very first time. Final Fantasy VII Remake will have a hands-on demo across a whopping 72 stations – Square Enix is pulling out all the stops on this one, so if you’re attending be sure to stop by the publisher’s area.
Final Fantasy XIV Online – with the critical and commercial success of Shadowbringers, Final Fantasy XIV Online will be returning to Gamescom with a grand showcase. Challenges, prizes and stage show programs all await attendees, headed by the makers themselves, Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida, and Main Scenario Writer and World Lore Creator Banri Oda. August 23 will also include a cosplay competition, as well as the game’s largest fan gathering during the evening.
Kingdom Hearts III – released just a few months ago, Kingdom Hearts III will probably be playable to promote the game’s upcoming DLC.
Life is Strange 2: Episode 4 ‘Faith’ – the next chapter in Dontnod’s award winning franchise will debut at Gamescom 2019.
Marvel’s Avengers – the first playable demo of this huge AAA title from Crystal Dynamics will debut on Gamescom, as fans get to battle as the Avengers during the game’s opening events.
Trials of Mana – the latest title in the revered Mana series will be making its global debut at Gamescom this year, featuring revamped action RPG battle, leveling, and skill systems. An early section of the game will be available to attendees.
