Where can I see the Tokyo Game Show in 2021?

If you want to follow the next Tokyo Game Show 2021, go over to Tokyo Game Show's YouTube and Twitch feeds, and don't forget to come back here since we'll have all the latest updates, teasers, talks, and more!

What Can We Expect from the Tokyo Game Show in 2021?

The Tokyo Game Show will feature presentations from some of the world's most well-known game companies, including Xbox, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Capcom, Konami, miHoYo, Bandai Namco, and others.

Xbox has promised "exclusive news" at its panel, although it's unclear what that news will be. Is it possible that it's a new look for Halo or Forza Horizon 5? Could it be possible that it's the reported Kojima-Microsoft collaboration? Only time will tell if any of this is reality.

Square Enix will also be present, although fans of Final Fantasy 16 should temper their expectations. While the core plot premise is "fixed in stone" and the English voice overs are nearly all recorded, FF16 producer Naoki Yoshida said in July 2021 that he wasn't sure if the team would be able to deliver something in time for the TGS deadline.

A miHoYo presentation on Genshin Impact, a Konami panel discussing Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel and more, fresh details on Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires from Koei Tecmo, presentations from Capcom and Ubisoft, and more are among the highlights of the week. Furthermore, SYBOO games, developers of the Subway Surfers Tokyo, are also expected to have a panel at the event. 

What can you do to be ready for the Tokyo Game Show 2021?

While eagerly waiting for TGS 2021 (which we know you are!) you can try a number of fantastic titles developed by these brands to just get boost up for the event. Some of these titles include Tokyo Ghoul (Bandai Namco), Subway Surfers Tokyo (SYBOO games), Wolverine Tokyo Fury, Genshin Impact, Akracing and many more! Furthermore, most of the above brands develop games mainly for the xbox console so, if you are having a xbox game pass and a good and working xbox controller, there are some awesome titles waiting for you. 

You can use “Screen recorder by Appsmartz” on your android devices (ios users can use any other screen recorder) to record your phone screens while playing any of the above titles and share with the world. Even the people who don't know what screen recording or what a screen recorder is can easily use the app and can learn and record live streaming videos in no time.
