Sony Returns to the Tokyo Game Show this 2024
After a four-year hiatus from the main exhibit, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) is making a comeback at the Tokyo Game Show 2024. Joining other major publishers like Capcom and Konami, Sony's return is highly anticipated. While last year they were only present in the Demo Play area for indie games, this year's lineup remains a mystery. Sony announced many of their 2024 releases during a State of Play in May, and they have confirmed no major new franchise releases until April 2025.
