Sony hasn’t attended the Tokyo Game Show for five years since it began distancing itself from various physical gaming events and hosting its own online presentations. When Sony confirmed its attendance at the Tokyo Game Show 2024, many were surprised but appreciated the return. TGS 2024 is set to be the largest edition of the show to date, featuring a total of 731 exhibitors across 3,190 booths.
With just a week to go before the Tokyo Game Show 2024 officially starts, Sony has announced the lineup that will be showcased at the event. Some are new games, and some have already been released. To begin with, there are several booths with demos for upcoming games, such as Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Monster Hunter Wilds, and more. The highly-rated Astro Bot will also make an appearance in Sony’s lineup.
