Tokyo Game Show 2022 To Be In-Person Event For The First Time In 3 Years
The Tokyo Game Show is one of the most important industry events in the calendar, with the Japanese games expo having a firm place in history as it's seen so many big announcements and memorable characters in its long run.

The event will run from September 15 to 18 in Chiba, Japan – with the first two days open to business visitors only, before opening to the wider public for the final two days.
