Tokyo Game Show 2025 has concluded, and the organizers are already sharing news about the 2026 edition.
For the first time in the show’s history, it’ll happen over 5 days instead of 4, from Thursday, September 17 to Monday, September 21.
Makuhari Messe in Chiba, near Tokyo, will remain as the physical venue for the show, although it isn’t actually in Tokyo and it hasn’t been since it moved away from Tokyo Big Sight in 1997.
We also learn that the 2025 edition drew 263,101 attendees, making it the third-largest in the show’s history, behind 2018, which still holds the record with 298,690 attendees, and 2024, which ranks second with 274,739 attendees.
The games selected for the Japan Game Awards Future Division have also been selected. The Japan Game Awards picked them after evaluating a popular vote among TGS 2025 attendees as titles expected to gain significant attention and, as such, representative of the year ahead.
You can find the full list below, straight from the press release sent to Simulation Daily.
Capcom certainly takes the lion’s share of the nods, while Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yōtei represents Western developers.
Of course, Simulation Daily was at Tokyo Game Show, and you can expect a metric ton of coverage to come your way over the next several days.
