Konami announces gamescom line-up - Silent Hill, MGS, PES2012

Barely a month after E3, Konami's the first company to announce its line-up for gamescom. The starting gun for Cologne has gone off.

Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater, Silent Hill: Downpour and Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 will make up the numbers.

"Gamescom is a success story," said Konami Europe chief Martin Schneider in a machine-translated press release.

"We are proud to actively participate in the same contributing to the show involves a unique experience for the public, trade and media."

We've been told this is only the initial line-up consisting of key titles, so expect more news to follow soon on other titles.

gamescom takes place from August 17-21 in Cologne. We will, obviously, be there.
