Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft in “Resident Evil Requiem,” according to the Future Games Show announcement and separate reporting on the game’s cast.

The published start times are 10 a.m. PDT, 1 p.m. EDT, 6 p.m. BST and 7 p.m. CEST, according to the event announcement distributed through Games Press. (gamespress.com) Cologne, Germany is the host city because the broadcast is part of gamescom 2026. Organizers said the show will be staged as part of the late-August showcase cycle around the convention and will be available as a live presentation rather than a delayed package. (gamespress.com) ### What are viewers being told to expect from the broadcast?

Variety reported that Apostolides and Sant'Albano, identified there as the stars of “Resident Evil Requiem,” were chosen to front the Aug. 26 broadcast. (tech.yahoo.com) February was the release window cited in pickup coverage of Variety’s report, which described the hosts as coming off Capcom’s latest installment in the franchise.
