Now that we have had the opportunity to digest the news of Gamescom 2021, it is time to start thinking about the next great show on the Game Calendar: Tokyo Game Show.
The schedule of the program is now starting to take shape and, according to the Official Website of Tokyo Game Show, we can expect presentations of some large names, including Xbox, Square Enix, Capcom, Konami and Ubisoft.
The show will be extended from September 30 to October 3, with Xbox, Capcom and Konami will enter their presentations at the beginning of the day, while Square Enix will organize its transmission on October 1 and Ubisoft will take the stage on October 3.
According to the calendar, it is expected that each of these presentations last 50 minutes and can see them from the comfort of their own home, since, as E3 and Gamescom, this year’s Tokyo Games program will be completely online.
Nor can you see through a virtual reality headset, since the official site makes fun of “an epic experiment” that will give online attendees the ability to “visit several stands as if walking around the game world” using HTC lives and oculus headphones missst and rift.
Analysis: What to expect?
At this time, it is not completely clear what specific ads we can expect during the Tokyo Games program, since most editors have kept the descriptions of their very minimal shows.
Capcom, for example, has said that it will deliver “the most recent information of the game” and Ubisoft has only said that its flow will be part of Ubday 2021. Xbox has said to fans that “wait for several ads that can only be heard” that really Nor does it give much far. The recent Xbox presentation in Gamescom was not especially impressive, but Phil Spencer has said previously in an interview with Gamespot who would like Xbox to be “part of the game awareness in Japan” and the presence of Xbox in Tokyo Game Show again It is surely part. of that effort.
When it comes to Square Enix, its description of the event states that it will bring the “latest news about our upcoming titles, along with previous information announced”, but no more than that. Final Fantasy 16 will certainly count as a next title, one of those who would also love an update, but it is far from being guaranteed that it will make an appearance.
As recently as Julio, said Naoki Yoshida producer during a Final Fantasy 14 Livestream that, while the development team would like to show Final Fantasy 16 during the Tokyo Games program, it is possible that they do not perform the deadline and prefer that the Next revelation is detached. Fortunately, there are many other upcoming titles, Square Enix could update us. The expansion of the end of Final Fantasy 14 seems a good candidate, given that it is launched in November, as well as the Guardians of the Marvel Galaxy, which is scheduled for October.
However, with so little to continue, it feels like a good idea to manage our expectations of what could be shown in the Tokyo Games program, even if it is difficult not to be enthusiastic about the possibility of the possible updates of highly anticipated games . Fortunately, it’s just a matter of weeks until the show begins.
