Tokyo Game Show - Schedule

Below you can see the full schedule that the TGS will be following once the event kicks off. Capcom, the famed studio behind Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and a slew of other franchises have one show dedicated to new and existing releases unrelated to Street Fighter 6, and another dedicated to the upcoming fighting game.

Aside from Capcom's double showcase, Xbox will make an appearance at this year's TGS, with plans to show off the games it has already announced. Some speculate that this could include new gameplay for exciting titles such as Starfield, but nothing has been confirmed, although, in a recent statement from Xbox, we know the theme for their expo will be "Nothing stops gaming". So we'll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled to see what they have to showcase this year.

All in all, with TGS on its way, and other events set to hit this month such as EGX London and PAX West, it's clear that September is gearing up to be a month for gamers around the world to keep their ear to the ground with excitement. So be sure to check back with us soon for more news on the upcoming gaming events this year as they roll around.
