Some were waiting for the news: the TGS will open its doors to professionals and the public. For this new edition, the show has a very particular theme “Nothing can stop the game”.
Japanese residents, professionals and players alike, will have the honor of reconnecting with a very physical lounge, the Tokyo Game 2022. A classic configuration was put on hold due to the global pandemic which is still blocking many countries.
An appointment in September, as usual
Take out the agenda, the Tokyo Game Show 2022 has stopped its dates it will be Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 September 2022. A face-to-face edition will take place in the city of Chiba to Makuhari Mass, about 40km from Tokyo. So that everyone does not step on it, the days 15/16 sec have been reserved for the specialized press and the 17/18 for visitors. The “world before” is back in short.
For spectators, there will be presentations in English, playable demos, and a VR zone. In particular, it will be possible to get a glimpse of the TGS through a simple virtual reality headset.
Regarding the theme, the organization opted for “Nothing Stops the Game” which directly echoes the COVID-19 crisis.
Over the past two years, various playful events have disappeared from our daily lives, but games have continued to brighten our days. Games will continue to brighten everyone’s day, now and forever – this year’s theme involves such determination.
A physical Tokyo Game Show, with what type of audience?
Unlike previous editions, including that of 2021, everyone will have the right to celebrate Japanese video games. Well almost… since the borders of the archipelago are still closed at the time of writing these lines. Will Japan reopen to everyone by then? We have to cross our fingers.
What to expect? Square Enix could have a strong presence as news of FF16 and FF7 Remake Part 2 have been promised later this year. And who knows, the PS VR 2 may also be part of the party.
