Time Out says

The acoustics at this huge convention complex in Chiba City are generally bad, the place is impersonal and it’s some distance from downtown Tokyo. Still, it’s the home of the Summer Sonic rockfest, and big bands such as the Prodigy have entertained full houses here.

Tokyo Game Show 2025

One of the world’s largest and most influential gaming events returns to Makuhari Messe over the last weekend of September. The 29th edition of Tokyo Game Show is themed ‘Unlimited, Neverending Playground’, underscoring TGS’s vision of games as a boundless arena where creators and players from around the globe come together to shape the future of entertainment. While September 25-26 is reserved for industry professionals, the show will open to the public on September 27 and 28, welcoming visitors of all ages to experience cutting-edge titles, immersive demos and much more. Across 11 halls, the massive event will showcase the latest innovations from major publishers and independent studios alike, alongside keynote speeches, sponsor sessions and the prestigious Japan Game Awards. A refreshed identity marks TGS 2025, with a newly redesigned logo and a striking main visual by illustrator Zashiki Warashi, signaling a new era for the show. Actor and avid gamer Kanata Hongo, widely recognised for his roles in game and anime adaptations, has been named Official Supporter, lending his enthusiasm and expertise to the event. Highlights include the Red Bull 283 Academy on September 27, where top young players of Street Fighter 6, mentored by pro legends, will face off in a climactic team battle. TGS 2025 promises to be an expansive playground of innovation, creativity and connection for fans and industry insiders alike.
