Japan’s biggest gaming show is still going to happen this September as a digital-only online stream, as reported by Famitsu. The online show will be held from September 23 to 27th. New game titles will be announced by both major and indie Game developers.
The show will be streamed from the Makuhari Messe convention center outside of Tokyo, but fans won’t be able to attend it personally.
TGS 2020 will include several Japanese game studios, from indies to major AAA from the likes of Capcom, Bandai Namco, PlatinumGames, SEGA, and Square Enix. There will also be an e-sports tournament, and new service showcases and announcements as well.
TGS2020 ONLINE, the first online event at the Tokyo Game Show, aims to provide everyone with the opportunity to experience the joy and possibilities of advanced technology through games. Since the world where people all over the world connect with space and time without time lag spreads online, there is a possibility that the game will exceed the game and change the future of various fields, and the official website says “We would like you to experience that joy with TGS2020 ONLINE as soon as possible. Please look forward to the world-famous game festival “TGS2020 ONLINE”.”

Hello, my name is NICK Richardson. I’m an avid PC and tech fan since the good old days of RIVA TNT2, and 3DFX interactive “Voodoo” gaming cards. I love playing mostly First-person shooters, and I’m a die-hard fan of this FPS genre, since the good ‘old Doom and Wolfenstein days.
MUSIC has always been my passion/roots, but I started gaming “casually” when I was young on Nvidia’s GeForce3 series of cards. I’m by no means an avid or a hardcore gamer though, but I just love stuff related to the PC, Games, and technology in general. I’ve been involved with many indie Metal bands worldwide, and have helped them promote their albums in record labels. I’m a very broad-minded down to earth guy. MUSIC is my inner expression, and soul.
