Great news, if you're a fan of cool horror-action protagonists with quippy one liners or Grace Ashcroft, who doesn't want to be in said horror-action games but is trying her very best: We've got both coming to the Future Games Show this month, as the voice actors for both Leon Kennedy and Grace will be presenting a feast of games for you to sink your teeth into.
Nick Apostolides and Angela Sant'Albano are known, most recently, for their roles in Resident Evil Requiem—and they'll be helping our friends at the FGS show off over 40 games from both AAA and indie studios, including Tides of Annihilation and Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
PC Gamer's own Morgan Park was particularly taken with the latter, calling Onimusha: Way of the Sword "the best thing I saw at Summer Game Fest" last year, and its penchant for style even cracked Wes Fenlon's parry-averse heart when he played it back in August of the same year. It's one to keep an eye on.
"I can't wait to share an incredible lineup of games with fans around the world," Apostolides says, "Whether you’re into pulse-pounding horror, samurai adventures or anything in between, we’ve got first looks, exciting reveals and plenty of surprises in store."
Sant'Albano, unlike the understandably-terrified Ashcroft, is also giddy with excitement: "We’re putting the zombie-dodging to one side to bring you world premieres, exclusive gameplay reveals and brand-new trailers for some of the most exciting upcoming games. Nick and I can't wait to share it all with you—see you there!"
You can tune in August 26 at 1 pm EDT/6 pm BST, though there'll be more after the main show with FGS Live at Gamescom, which'll have even more previews and news from the packed, excited floors of the Koelnmesse. There'll also be the Best of Gamescom on August 30 at 1 pm EDT/6 pm BST, for recaps, developer interviews, and more.
You can watch on Twitch and YouTube alongside other platforms—including a sister stream from our friends over at GamesRadar+.

Harvey's history with games started when he first begged his parents for a World of Warcraft subscription aged 12, though he's since been cursed with Final Fantasy 14-brain and a huge crush on G'raha Tia. He made his start as a freelancer, writing for websites like Techradar, The Escapist, Dicebreaker, The Gamer, Into the Spine—and of course, PC Gamer. He'll sink his teeth into anything that looks interesting, though he has a soft spot for RPGs, soulslikes, roguelikes, deckbuilders, MMOs, and weird indie titles. He also plays a shelf load of TTRPGs in his offline time. Don't ask him what his favourite system is, he has too many.
