PlayStation is set to make a return to the Tokyo Game Show this September, marking the end of a five-year absence from the major gaming event in Japan. The event will be the largest-ever Tokyo Game Show, with a total of 3,190 exhibition booths, surpassing last year’s record. Sony Interactive Entertainment will be a part of the exhibitors list, alongside companies like CAPCOM and SQUARE ENIX, and will also be a platinum sponsor for the exhibition’s indie developer focused area.
Over the last few years, PlayStation has focused on providing updates through events like PlayStation State of Plays rather than attending industry trade shows. The Tokyo Game Show 2024 will take place from September 26th to September 29th. The big question now is what PlayStation will showcase at the event, especially considering the release dates of its upcoming titles like Concord, Astro Bot, and the PC version of God of War Ragnarök which are all set to release before the show. With a limited confirmed release list, it remains uncertain what Sony will present at the event.
One potential highlight could be the presence of renowned game developer Hideo Kojima, who teased his involvement in the event on social media. Kojima’s new espionage game with PlayStation could be a potential highlight, although it might be too early for any significant updates. Notably, Xbox will not be attending TGS2024 but will have a major presence at Gamescom in August.
