The Tokyo Game Show (TGS) scheduled to be held at the end of September also confirmed that this year’s event will also be held online. It can be seen that there is no confidence that the epidemic can be eased to the extent that large-scale online events can be held within half a year.
However, the Tokyo Game Show official will still set up an offline exhibition area at the Makuhari Messe, dedicated to media and Internet celebrities for experience. It is probably also a good balance between the first-hand trial and the need for epidemic prevention.
The Tokyo Game Show will be held from September 30th to October 3rd this year. In addition to the four-day live broadcast, various game developers will take turns to showcase their own products.
The official video game exhibition also cooperated with game companies, as far as possible to launch a free trial version, so that players can experience the fun of new games at home.
TGS has also opened a shopping area on Amazon in Japan, which allows consumers to purchase related products during the live broadcast, and there may even be shopping interactions with the live broadcast.
As for the offline experience area, the general audience will also have the opportunity to “visit” during the live broadcast. However, in the case of a limited number of people on site, the game companies should not be too extravagant.
This year is the second consecutive year that TGS has held online events, and it also coincides with the 25th anniversary of TGS.
Coupled with the launch of the next-generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at the end of last year, this year is the time for gamers to show their talents. Even if TGS only holds online events, there should be no shortage of masterpiece publications.
