Here’s a detailed look at all the new releases presented at gamescom.

NACON’S NEW RACING UNIT LIFTING THE LID ON SEVERAL PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE

Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator will be released in the fall of 2024 on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.

NEW GAMING ACCESSORIES FOR ALL PLAYERS

The end of 2024 will be packed with new products, especially the arrival of eagerly awaited new accessories, for all the gaming platforms.

NACON is taking advantage of gamescom to preview its new controller currently in development with Xbox: the Revolution X Unlimited for Xbox and PC. A unique combination of customization, durability and precision, it incorporates Hall Effect technology, to reduce the risk of joystick drift. Meanwhile, the instant triggers combined with the trigger blockers enable the controller to adapt to various genres, and its high-performance permanent battery provides more than 10 hours’ play without needing to recharge. It can also boast a major new feature: an LCD screen in the center of the controller makes it really simple for the player to customize various game profiles without having to use the dedicated app. The Revolution X Unlimited will be released in late 2024.
