As usual with gamescom Opening Night Live, a ton of news and information was revealed on a slew of upcoming games. Many of these are in booths on this year's show floor.

Goat Simulator Is Getting Remastered
Goat Simulator, the dumb fun game released by Coffee Stain Studios in 2014, is getting remastered. Appropriately titled Goat Simulator: Remastered, this enhanced edition will include not just a shiny new coat of paint (and all the laughable but not game-breaking bugs) but also all the DLC made for the game. This includes one DLC that was only available on the mobile version.
Goat Simulator: Remastered is out later this year.
