Tokyo Game Show 2020 will be cancelled, according to a new announcement. The full notice available on the website is written as follows:
TOKYO GAME SHOW 2020(TGS2020), scheduled to be held from September 24 (Thu.) to 27 (Sun.), 2020, is now planned to take place online. TGS2020, which is usually held at Makuhari Messe, is cancelled.
Due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on a global scale and the situation remains unpredictable in Japan as well, the organizer and the co-organizers have reached this decision after a long consideration to place the utmost priority on the health and safety of visitors, exhibitors and stakeholders. We ask for your kind understanding and cooperation.
More information will be announced as needed on the official website and press releases from late May.
The official website is here if you wish to keep track of the developments. Tokyo Game Show 2020 being cancelled joins the other events also cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, as well as moving online. We might be able to expect more later year events to be cancelled as well considering TGS 2020’s relatively late scheduling, as the situation continues to fluctuate. We’ll see if the various participants for the event will also begin unveiling their news online.
