You can watch Shinoda write the song live on Twitch later this week.
This year's Gamescom event is taking place virtually, and now we've learned a little more about it. The show will kick off with an Opening Night Live event hosted by Geoff Keighley, and it's now been confirmed that it will have an original theme song written by Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda.
Shinoda is going to write this song live on Twitch, and the tweet announcing it suggests he will collaborate with commenters on what they want to hear. The songwriting event starts at 10 AM PT on August 12 here on Shinoda's Twitch channel.
