As the Tokyo Game Show 2024 which will take place from September 26 to 29 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, the publishers are busy and each present their program for this essential video game fair. We have already learned of some plans for PlayStation on site, which may not be well received given the local price of its PS5 Pro…, as well as line-ups of Capcom And Square Enix. This Wednesday, other publishers are getting involved, starting with Konami via a press release And his official website. Like last year, its stand will also highlight its own productions, still as numerous as ever, but also titles from its Japanese partners, a good way to give them visibility.
No surprise, since this was announced yesterday during the video Production Hotline #02, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be there, as will the Silent Hill 2 remake a few days before its release. Surprisingly, Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is not mentioned, which is rather surprising given that we have only just received scant news about him.
