Today the Japanese Computer Entertainment Suppliers Association revealed quite a few details about the next iteration of Tokyo Game Show, which will be hosted between September 20th and September 23rd at the traditional Makuhari Messe venue in Chiba, near Tokyo.

On the menu this year is the "e-Sports X" event that will take a revised form compared to last year, with an expanded venue and an international scope.

Broadcasting and dissemination of information will be another pillar of the event, with more platforms in addition to NicoNico and twitch, aiming to expand global viewership, especially for eSports events.

The new theme has also been announced, and it'll be "The Opening of a New Stage" promising the lifting of a new curtain on booths, live broadcasting, stage events, new fun, new tech, and excitement.

The show will be divided between General Exhibition, Smartphone Game Corner, Romance Game Corner, Game School Corner, and Family Game Park in the halls between 1 and 8. The eSports Corner, VR/AR Corner, Indie Game Corner, and Merchandise Corner will be in the halls between 9 and 11.
