Bandai Namco

This year Bandai Namco focused on their two flagship titles, first is its new fighting game, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, the successor to the Dragon Ball: Budokai Tenkaichi fighting games, and Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, which is available to pre-order now on Steam.

Capcom

Capcom had a strong presence pushing its new release Monster Hunter Wilds, coming out February 28, 2025.

What were your favorite Tokyo Game Show Announcements? While AAA studios are staying a little reserved, the focus has seemed to shift to new indie titles. A trend we can certainly get behind. Plus, JRPG fans have plenty to look forward to post-TGS 2024.

The Tokyo Game Show may be over, but the Tokyo Game Show Digital World 2024 can still be accessed online on PC, Apple and Android devices! Join the virtual world to visit your favorite developers on different “islands.”
