Tokyo Game Show 2023 notable showcases

Tokyo Game Show is one of the biggest gaming showcase events hosted annually in Tokyo, Japan. While the event is primarily for the Japanese audience and focuses mainly on Japanese developers, it also conveys significant news to global audiences. Let's take a look at some of this year's major conferences:

  • Microsoft Corporation Japan (Xbox) - While Xbox traditionally hasn't had a strong presence in Japan, it has shifted from that stance recently. Following the massive success of Starfield, the console maker has Forza Motorsport as the next major title lined up. The publisher might also reveal what Tango GameWorks is working on next, after the success of Hi-Fi Rush and Ghostwire Tokyo.
  • 505 Games - Last year at TGS 2022, 505 Games showcased a number of titles, including Gunfire Reborn, Cloudpunk, and Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes. With the later title set for an April 2024 launch, it is bound to be showcased in-depth, along with several upcoming titles.
  • SEGA / ATLUS - Sega is hosting a joining show with its subsidiary Atlus, which more or less confirms the presence of Persona 3 Reloaded and Persona 5 Tactica. Sega is also expected to show Sonic Superstar and possibly Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
  • Koei Tecmo Games - Koei Tecmo has a couple of games lined up for their future slate that they might showcase at TGS 2023. These include Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake and FATE/SAMURAI Remnant. The developer/ publisher is also expected to showcase Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty DLC Vol.2 Conqueror of Jiangdong, which is set for a September 2023 release.
  • Capcom - Capcom has teased a couple of things for TGS, including Separate Ways DLC and VR mode for Resident Evil 4 Remake, Dragon's Dogma II, Street Fighter 6, and a new Ace Attorney game.
  • HoYoverse (miHoYo) - MiHoYo, the developer behind Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, is set to showcase upcoming content for both titles. The developer might also give us a closer look at its next project, Zenless Zone Zero or ZZZ.
  • Square Enix - Square Enix has a couple of games lined up for TGS 2023, including Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Final Fantasy XIV Online, Foamstars, Infinity Strash: DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai, and Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince.
