This Thursday marks the official opening of Japan’s largest video game expo, the Tokyo Game Show 2019. With tons of Japanese developers and publishers expected to put on a show, expect a host of new announcements, trailers, updates and surprises for existing and upcoming games. Tokyo Game Show 2019 will be held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Tokyo, running from September 12 to September 15. Stay tuned with us here for the duration of the event for the latest news and updates with regards to all the hyped big releases to come in the near future.
With Sony opting out of E3 this year, it’s only natural that the gaming giant makes up for it big time with this year’s iteration of the Tokyo Game Show, especially with quite a few highly-anticipated releases under their belt. Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia has released their schedule of events for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2019, the entirety of which (untranslated) can be found here.
