Developer and Publisher Streams for TGS 2024

Aside from the Official Exhibitor Programs, which will be shown on the Tokyo Game Show’s main channels, there will also be separate streams hosted and presented by several developers and publishers attending the event. These include Bandai Namco, KOEI TECMO, and Square Enix.

Their streams will be shown on their own channels, separate from the Tokyo Game Show’s schedule, and will sometimes coincide with the latter’s programs.

Major segments from these publishers include the upcoming Atelier Yumia by KOEI TECMO, The Legend of Heroes: Kai no Kiseki – Farewell, O Zemuria by Nihon Falcom, and Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake by Square Enix.

Sony Returns to the Tokyo Game Show this 2024

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) will return to the main exhibit at Tokyo Game Show 2024 for the first time in four years, joining major publishers like Capcom and Konami. Last year, Sony only participated in the Demo Play area for indie games. Although it's unclear what Sony will showcase this year, many of their 2024 releases were already announced during a State of Play in May. Additionally, Sony has stated there will be no major new franchise releases before April 2025.
