This 2021 Tokyo Video Game Program, like in 2015’s, is an on-line event. There is a teensy little in-person location with small cubicles. The general public is not admitted, as well as also Sony does not have a cubicle. Yet you understand that does? Ikea.
Make good sense, due to the fact that the Swedish furnishings manufacturer’s video gaming collection does look respectable!
According to our associates at Gizmodo Japan, while it would certainly take a minimum of half an hour to go through the whole program flooring on journalism day, it just took 5 mins to look into the program this year. Sega as well as Atlus have a cubicle, as does Konami, SNK, as well as Capcom, yet the program is, by Gizmodo Japan‘s price quote, regarding 1/12 the dimension.
The majority of the occasion hall isn’t cubicles, yet instead, conference room. The in-person section does seem much more regarding taking conferences as well as networking.

As stated over, the occasion is mostly on-line– I indicate, the name of the program is Tokyo Video Game Program 2021 Online. The incorporation of a greatly decreased program flooring is the Tokyo Video game Program’s means of alleviating back to typical. (I do question if the substantial cubicles will certainly return when the program returns to typical in the future. Possibly? Possibly not?)
One shock, nonetheless, is that Ikea has a cubicle Over the last couple of years, the quantity of video gaming furnishings, particularly video gaming chairs, on display screen at TGS has actually enhanced significantly, so it’s not a total shock to see Ikea. Yet thinking about exactly how there’s no PlayStation cubicle, Ikea placing in a look is absolutely notable. Hell, it would certainly be also if this were a regular year as well as a regular program.
This is a TGS initially for Ikea. Their cubicle becomes part of ASUS’ Republic of Players’ location, which you would certainly anticipate due to the fact that the video gaming furnishings line is a cooperation in between both business.
Yet in a year in which the offline occasion is so decreased, simply seeing an Ikea branded location with their video gaming furnishings is an excellent sign of exactly how significant the Swedish furnishings firm has to do with video gaming.
