A week ago, journalist and producer Geoff Keighley hosted Opening Night Live — a ceremony that kicked off the Gamescom 2025 gaming exhibition. The analytics company VG Insights reported which games mentioned at the event collected the most wishlists from August 18 to 23.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
According to the figures, gamers were most interested in the new LEGO Batman adventure from TT Games, which is set for release in 2026. Analysts calculated that LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was added to wishlists 183,000 times.
Below is the full top 9 of games shown at Opening Night Live 2025 by the number of wishlists added from August 18-23:
1. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight — 183,000 wishlists;
2. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV — 159,000 wishlists;
3. Valor Mortis — 103,000 wishlists;
4. Denshattack! — 67,000 wishlists;
5. Resident Evil Requiem — 66,000 wishlists;
6. Road Kings — 62,000 wishlists;
7. Long Gone — 61,000 wishlists;
8. ZERO PARADES — 60,000 wishlists;
9. Cronos: The New Dawn — 56,000 wishlists.
Please note: analysts revealed data only for these six days. If a longer period were covered, some games would have far more wishlists.
For example, Capcom announced back in late June that Resident Evil Requiem had been added to wishlists over a million times, so the wishlists gained from the ceremony were just a relatively small addition. Additionally, the developers of Long Gone recently boasted that the total number of wishlists for their game has exceeded 200,000.
