The UK PlayStation Blog has posted a preview of Sony’s plans for Gamescom, the annual gaming expo in Cologne, Germany. The PlayStation media briefing will be held on Tuesday August 20 at 6pm BST (1pm Eastern / 10am Pacific), where they will be sharing “our release plans for PlayStation 4, as well as updates on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.”

Gamescom opens to the public at Koelnmesse in Cologne the following day, giving European PlayStation fans their first chance to experience the PS4’s hardware, games like Knack, Killzone: Shadowfall, #DRIVECLUB, and interact with the next generation of PlayStation in full force. PS3 and PS Vita will also be present, with Gran Turismo 6, Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, Killzone: Mercenary, and Tearaway sure to be highlights of the show floor.
