And what about 2021? Next year's Tokyo Game Show will return in physical form to Makuhari Messi, which is located just outside Tokyo. Things kick off on Thursday, September 30, and end on Sunday, October 3.

In Tokyo Game Show 2020 we got to see for example more of Resident Evil Village, an announcement for a live-action Yakuza movie, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons got an award for being Game of the Year.
