FULL STORY ======================================================================

Now that weve had a chance to digest the news from Gamescom 2021 , its time
to start thinking about the next big show on the gaming calendar: Tokyo Game Show.

The shows schedule is now beginning to take shape and, according to the official Tokyo Game Show website , we can expect presentations from some big names including Xbox, Square Enix, Capcom, Konami and Ubisoft.

The show will run from September 30 through to October 3, with Xbox, Capcom and Konami getting in their presentations early on day one, while Square Enix will host its stream on October 1 and Ubisoft will take the stage on October 3.

According to the schedule, each of these presentations is expected to last 50 minutes and youll be able to watch them from the comfort of your own home as, like E3 and Gamescom, this years Tokyo Game Show will be entirely online.

Youll also apparently be able to watch through a virtual reality headset as the official site teases an epic experiment which will give online attendees the ability to visit various booths as if you were walking around the game world using HTC Vive and Oculus Quest and Rift headsets. Analysis: What to expect?

At the moment, its not entirely clear what specific announcements we can expect during Tokyo Game Show as the majority of publishers have kept the descriptions of their shows pretty minimal.

Capcom, for instance, has said it will deliver the latest game information
and Ubisoft has only said its stream will be a part of Ubiday 2021. Xbox has told fans to look forward to various announcements that can only be heard
here which doesnt really give much away either. Xboxs recent presentation at Gamescom wasnt especially mind blowing but Phil Spencer has previously said
in an interview with Gamespot that hed like Xbox to be part of the gaming consciousness in Japan and Xboxs presence at Tokyo Game Show again is surely part of that effort.

When it comes to Square Enix, its event description states that itll bring
the latest news about our upcoming titles, along with the pre-announced information but no more than that. Final Fantasy 16 would certainly count as an upcoming titleone that plenty of fans would love an update for, toobut
it's far from guaranteed that itll make an appearance.

As recently as July,producer Naoki Yoshida said during a Final Fantasy 14 livestream that while the development team would like to show Final Fantasy
16 during Tokyo Game Show they might not make the deadline and would prefer the next reveal to come shortly before release. Fortunately, there are plenty of other upcoming titles Square Enix could update us on. Final Fantasy 14s Endwalker expansion seems like a good candidate, given its set to release in November, as does Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy which is scheduled for October.

With so little to go on, though, it feels like a good idea to manage our expectations for what might be shown at Tokyo Game Show even if it is hard
not to get excited by the prospect of potential updates on some highly-anticipated games. Fortunately, it's only a matter of weeks until the show begins. Don't miss the latest from TechRadar's PC Gaming week
