Tokyo Game Show 2024 is one of the most exciting times for any player, especially those who love Japanese titles. There have been a ton of announcements during TGS, including for every platform from Switch to PlayStation to even Xbox. Here are the best TGS 2024 announcements that have impressed us the most and everyone should know about.
All the Best TGS 2024 Announcements: Ghost of Yotei
The standout announcement happened just before the start of Tokyo Game Show 2024. During the latest PlayStation State of Play, the grand finale announcement was a Ghost of Tsushima sequel known as Ghost of Yotei. The new location, set in northern Japan, and female protagonist are all thrilling.
Better yet, the open-world sequel looks to continue the stunning, colorful aesthetic of the original, but with the power of PS5 and PS5 Pro. And if that isn’t enough, the game is coming out sooner than you might expect. Ghost of Yotei releases next year sometime in 2025.
Holy Horror Mansion
Level-5 hosted its own event in celebration of Tokyo Game Show 2024. The event included new details on previously announced games like Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, DecaPolice, and Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. But the real surprise was Holy Horror Mansion, which appears to be the next evolution of the Yokai Watch series.
The same colorful style from Yokai Watch returns alongside a slightly spookier style. That said, Holy Horror Mansion looks to still be an all-ages RPG, but the story seems to have a significant focus. We will find out more info about this RPG in Spring 2025.
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster on Xbox
Even Xbox fans had something to look forward to during TGS 2024 with one of the best announcements happening during the Xbox presentation. There were quite a few notable announcements here, including a new trailer for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and both Starcraft games coming to Game Pass. However, our favorite has to be the arrival of all six Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster games immediately on Xbox alongside other missing Square Enix titles.
FFXIV Dawntrail Patch 7.1 Details
Still no exact release date just yet for the first major post-launch patch for FFXIV Dawntrail, but we now know 7.1 is coming sometime mid-November 2024 courtesy of the TGS 2024 Letter from the Producer 83. In addition, we now know it will be called “Crossroads” and include a bunch of new content for players to enjoy like the first Final Fantasy XI Alliance Raid, a new dungeon to complete, Pelupelu Allied Society quests, and so much more.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Release Window
One of the more surprising announcements is Hideo Kojima’s reveal during TGS 2024 that Death Stranding 2 is only about 30-40% complete. Despite this alarming fact, the game is still scheduled to come out in 2025. The sequel will also feature a brand new photo mode that will allow players to dance and pose various characters throughout the world for pictures.
Tokyo Game Show 2024 runs from September 26-29, 2024.
