“Upcoming games” isn’t broken down to specifics, but StarCraft 2 and Diablo III are both upcoming games, so draw your own conclusions.
This event runs from the 20-23rd, while Blizzcon is the 21-22,so it’s a fairly safe bet that the same demo builds will be shown at both shows. Might we get an advance peek at new D3 stuff from Cologne on the 20th, before Blizzcon opens the next day? (Note that Germany is 10 hours ahead of California, so Gamescom will open almost a day and a half before Blizzcon.)
