Microsoft has announced an Xbox Digital Broadcast that will air at 6 pm JST / 9 am UTC / 2 am PDT. on September 21. The event will feature “progress updates” from both Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks, as well as “a creatively diverse collection of games from creators predominantly located in Japan and across Asia”.

Meanwhile, Microsoft says it will also be revealing new games coming to Xbox Game Pass. The broadcast will be available in Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, French, German, and Castilian Spanish.

What exactly Microsoft will announce during the broadcast remains to be seen, but there’s a pretty good chance that we’ll be hearing more about Final Fantasy 14’s long-awaited Xbox version, which is due out next Spring.

On Atlus’ side, though Metaphor: ReFantazio – which launches sometime in 2024 – isn’t mentioned, two upcoming Persona titles will be part of the lineup in Persona 5 Tactica, which launches this November, and Persona 3 Reload, which is out in February.

Meanwhile, Sega, too, will be leaving out a major title in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, but again, will have plenty to show off with Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, Amplitude Studios’ Endless Dungeon, and of course, Sonic Superstars.

Sega and Atlus’ TGS lineup will also include several third party titles from partner publishers, including Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged and Payday 3 from Plaion and EA Sports FC 24 from, well, EA Sports.

Before TGS kicks off, Sega and Atlus will also be streaming a special media broadcast on September 21, 3 AM PT.

Even more interesting is there will be a 50-minute pre-recorded Capcom Online Special Program with the latest news on September 21st, 11 PM JST. Perhaps a release date for Resident Evil 4 Remake’s VR Mode will be revealed. There may also be details on A.K.I., the next DLC character for Street Fighter 6, and Exoprimal’s next big Title Update. Dare we hope for an update on Separate Ways, rumored to be paid DLC for Resident Evil 4 Remake?

Time will tell. Tokyo Game Show 2023 takes place in Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, from September 21st to 24th. Other companies confirmed for the show include Konami, Sega, Atlus, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, Koei Tecmo, and Microsoft. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

Tokyo Game Show VR 2023 also returns and is available for the entirety of the event, while its exhibition is accessible until October 1st. Along with head-mounted displays and PCs, visitors can access it with smartphones. Fans can also expect online programs with “trial versions of indie games and big-name titles” coming to a special Steam site.

Last year’s physical event had 140,000 visitors during all four days, which is noteworthy due to the COVID-19 restrictions in Japan at the time. With that in mind, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association wants this year’s show to be “the largest-ever hybrid event.” It will have over 2,000 booths, with more than 200,000 visitors expected. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months.
