<p>It’s official, like every other video game convention before it, this year’s Tokyo Game Show has been cancelled to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The show, which was scheduled to take place between 24th – 27th September, will now be replaced by an online event.</p>
<p>Here’s the official statement:</p>
<blockquote readability="10">
<p>Due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on a global scale and the situation remains unpredictable in Japan as well, the organizer and the co-organizers have reached this decision after a long consideration to place the utmost priority on the health and safety of visitors, exhibitors and stakeholders. We ask for your kind understanding and cooperation.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>More details about the new online format will be shared on the <a class="external" href="https://expo.nikkeibp.co.jp/tgs/2020/en/">official website</a> and via a press release later this month. Other recent cancellations include EVO 2020, Gamescom 2020, and this year’s E3.</p>
