The Tokyo Game Show organized by the Japanese CESA (Computer Entertainment Suppliers Association) will be returning in full form again this year, as it’s the first time the event will be as big as it was before the pandemic. This has both studios and fans thrilled and anticipating big announcements for the event. For Xbox, it’s an excellent opportunity to impress Japanese gamers, as the company has struggled to keep up with the popularity of Nintendo and PlayStation in the region. Exciting reveals and announcements involving local studios could get more local players into Microsoft’s ecosystem.
The Xbox Digital Broadcast might also be the perfect time to reveal what the Japanese studio Tango Gameworks, the creators of the hit rhythm-based action game Hi-Fi Rush, are currently working on. It has been rumored the team is working on two new projects. Could the Xbox Digital Broadcast be where we find out what they are? Regarding its new Xbox Game Pass titles, it would be interesting to see if some big players from Asia, such as Capcom, Konami, or Sega, will be bringing goodies to the service.
