The Tokyo Game Show fills Makuhari Messe in Chiba with the Japanese and international games industry: two business days followed by two public days on which the queues for a twenty-minute demo run to several hours.
CESA publishes attendance per edition; we have not collected a dated one.
The show's position in the global calendar is as the Japanese counterweight to E3's decline and Gamescom's scale, and it remains where Japanese publishers choose to announce.
A note on the location, since the partner calendar files it correctly and most do not: this is at Makuhari in Chiba prefecture, forty minutes from central Tokyo, not in Tokyo.
PlanningA late-September window at Makuhari Messe, in Chiba rather than Tokyo.
