  "account": "Level Infinite, a division of Tencent, is set to make a big impact at gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany. The publisher will showcase four major titles – Control Resonant, Hunt: Showdown 1896, Dune: Awakening, and more – along with numerous partner studios and exclusive announcements.\n\nOne of the most exciting announcements is the reveal of Hunt: Showdown 1896, an extraction shooter developed by Crytek. During the event, players will have the opportunity to play the game alongside developers and provide real-time feedback on the game's rebalancing process. Additionally, the first hour of Control Resonant will be playable at Level Infinite's booth, offering attendees a hands-on experience with the eagerly-anticipated game.\n\nFans of Dune: Awakening will also be able to experience the console version of the game for the first time at gamescom. The September 22 release features a new solo mode, which was optimized based on data gathered from the PC version. This new content, combined with the highly-anticipated Dune film release, aims to reinforce the immersive experience offered by the game.\n\nLevel Infinite's booth will also feature cosplay opportunities, giveaways, exclusive merchandise, and photo opportunities. Visitors entering Hall 6 will be immediately greeted with Level Infinite's presence, showcasing the four playable games and giving them the chance to engage with each experience.",
