The latest reveal comes after a preliminary announcement that came in August 2024. The Tokyo Game Show will run from Sept. 26, 2024, to Sept. 29, 2024. It will be held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

Arguably the most anticipated title in the list is Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds, which will have 40 demo stations at Tokyo Game Show 2024. Sony also revealed the schedule for its games during the event, according to Gematsu.

There will also be a panel discussion on the game that will be available on the PlayStation 5. It will be led by game creator Hideo Kojima and Daichi Miura. They will be joined by Nicolas Winding Refn and several other guests.
Showcasing a Variety of Titles
The Tokyo Game Show event is one of the world's most celebrated expos. It focuses on video games, industry trends, and cutting-edge technology. It is Japan's flagship gaming event that has served as a mecca for gamers and industry professionals, JapanToday said.
However, many longtime attendees complained that the event has recently shifted its focus to lean too heavily on mobile games. They argue that it has lost some of its appeal, particularly for fans of traditional gaming.
Sony aims to take advantage of the event's reach and on its final day plans to showcase Monster Hunter Wilds. This is Capcom's highly anticipated new release for the franchise that builds on the foundation created by Monster Hunter World, according to VGChartz.
