The Tokyo Game Show (TGS) will be back in full form for the first time since 2019 when it last took place. From September 21 to 24, hundreds of thousands of visitors are anticipated at the Makuhari Messe Convention Center in Chiba to demo new games, purchase limited-edition swag, and take in the vibe of not only Japan’s premier game show but also one of the last significant gaming exhibitions in the world taking place today.
The news might spread quickly during this year’s TGS, from updates on titles in production to potential surprise announcements for upcoming releases, so quickly that even in-person attendees might find it difficult to keep up.
Thankfully, important presentations from Koei Tecmo, Square Enix, Capcom, and other Japanese gaming industry heavyweights will be live-streamed for anybody in Japan or across the world to see.
All of those performers, along with a few others you might not be familiar with, are on the 2023 lineup. The remaining 2023 games from Level-5, whatever HoYoverse may be working on, and even Koei Tecmo’s upcoming Fate/Samurai Remnant are all likely to receive some info.
Additionally, there may be a couple more trailers and release dates during the course of the week. Before the start of the autumn season, this is the last real-time for major game news. Let’s call it a speak-now-or-forever-hold-your-streams situation.
From September 19 to September 24, the Tokyo Game Show 2023 will take place. While many attendees will attend TGS 2023 in person, viewers from all over the world will be able to watch the many exhibits, keynotes, and presentations live-streamed. The times of the various shows are listed in the following table. All timings are Pacific Standard Time, and some shows will run simultaneously with others.
