Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and Bandai Namco Online Inc. will be participating at Tokyo Game Show 2023 (TGS2023), which will be the first time in four years that the entire show will be held, and will be one of the largest ever. The theme of the exhibit will be “Connect with Fans” to deliver the appeal of IP (Intellectual Property such as characters) to fans.
Under the “Fun for All into the Future” slogan, Bandai Namco’s Mid-Term Vision is to “Connect with Fans,” and they aim to deeply connect with a wide range of stakeholders including IP fans, business partners, Group employees, and communities around the world. The companies will be exhibiting at TGS2023 to deliver games that exceed the expectations of the fans in our core game business based on our basic policy of delivering “deep and lasting, quality content” and “diverse entertainment,” and to further revitalize the game market in the future.
At TGS2023, which will be held from September 21 to 24, 2023 for the first time in four years, the family area and cosplay area will return to the on-site venue utilizing the entire Makuhari Messe. In addition, the “TGS VR” virtual venue, which was available in 2021, will be accessible through PC, head-mounted displays, and smartphones.
