Sony's more or less ditched the traditional press conference this year, but that's not to say the platform holder won't be at the industry's big events. Tokyo Game Show 2019 is right around the corner, and while Sony's presence at Gamescom was minimal, it looks like it has bigger plans for the Japanese trade show.
As reported by Gematsu, the company has outlined its plans for TGS over on its official site and the Japanese PlayStation Blog. The PlayStation booth is set to have playable demos of many upcoming games, such as Final Fantasy VII Remake, Nioh 2, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Death Stranding will also make an appearance, though not playable; attendees will be able to watch gameplay footage. It's unclear if it'll be anything new, but we imagine it'll be a repeat of the Gamescom trailers.
Additionally, Sony will host a series of live streamed stage presentations, collectively named "PlayStation Presents Live Show TGS 2019". These events will show off live gameplay demos of some upcoming titles, but we don't know which ones just yet. It'll be interesting to see what these will bring to the table, but we wouldn't get too excited until we learn more.
Tokyo Game Show 2019 gets started mid-September, running from the 12th to the 15th. Are you excited to see what the Japanese show will bring? Take a guess at what Sony will be live streaming in the comments below.

"It's unclear if it'll be anything new, but we imagine it'll be a repeat of the Gamescom trailers." Huh? obviously its going to be new, and kojima even said so at gamescom. Man you are dumb.
@Shepherd_Tallon Calling someone dumb is aggressive? Ok...
@Amppari We're not doing this again are we? You've been warned in the past not to throw insults around. Let's stay on topic and be respectful please.
@Shepherd_Tallon The community is definitely getting more aggressive but that’s just the general mood around the world now I fear.
@Amppari Yeah it is. You wouldn't call a total stranger "dumb" in public so don't do it here.
Frankly I'll be happy if all Sony did at TGS was announce they bought Level 5.
nice article. I hope they have something to show about Ghost of Tsushima. 🤞
@Shepherd_Tallon I would love to see something more of Project Awakening, but I'm 99% sure it'll be a next-gen release.
Of all the yearly events, TGS is one of the ones that I can wait to see any video's uploaded to youtube and selectively read any articles. Some of that is the language barrier and the fact that Japanese style games don't appeal - nor the cultural differences in presentation.
@Shepherd_Tallon Can't wait to see people's faces when Deep Down is re-revealed as a PS5 launch title, only for it to disappear completely. Again.
i'm OK with some trailers and game play being live streamed, they don't always need a press conference and besides it would leave more time for the actual games to be shown
although it would be nice to see SOMETHING about the PS5 even if it's just a show piece like MS did for Scarlet at E3
@Shepherd_Tallon i honestly had to go look it up because i had no idea what you was going on about but it looks really interesting and i'm always down for a good RPG
I was hoping for another one of their conferences that I could watch at midnight in the US again. Sony better bring it hardcore for amount of conferences they're skipping.
seems the right place to show some GoT trailer?
I mean?
Why not?
Expect Kojima to take the stage and give another Death Stranding gameplay demo.
This time, Norman Reedus will defecate on the ground and a giant tree will shoot out. He will then chop the tree down with an axe and use it as a bridge to cross a large chasm.
@AdamNovice If Sony Bought Level 5 or Nihon Falcom I Could see a alot of Playstaton Haters Rioting in the Street Yelling about Censorship lol
Nioh 2 all the way baby! I'm hoping we get some sort of vague release date. I have a few vouchers saved for that and Ghost of Tsushima especially.
