Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2022 – Where to watch the stream
It’s been a rather hectic week of streams and reveals, with the Nintendo Direct and Sony’s State of Play being streamed on the same day. Now, it’s time for the Tokyo Game Show with even more exciting announcements, and already, it looks like 2023 is shaping up to be a good year for games.
As a part of the Tokyo Game Show, which runs from September 15 to September 19, Xbox will have its own livestream. There’s already been a lot to hear from Microsoft this past year, having hosted its own rather lively Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase in June this year. We got a long, hard look at Starfield and its thousands of planets, plus a further look at exciting titles like Redfall, Forza Motorsport, and Minecraft Legends.
The show goes on, though, and we can anticipate even more news from Xbox today!

Death Stranding inspired Cryptobiosis plushies will be available at Tokyo Game Show
In a photoshoot fit for Vogue, Hideo Kojima has shared some snaps to Twitter of him posing with some new Cryptobiosis plushies that’ll be available at Tokyo Game Show later this month.
Details have not yet been revealed regarding the price of the plushies, or whether they’ll be available online during and after Tokyo Game Show. What we do know, however, is that they’re quite charming, even if they are strange, small life forms used for replenishing blood.
Going off the photos that Kojima shared, it appears the plushies will be available in two sizes. One of them being small enough to prop up on a shelf or cuddle to sleep, while the other is large enough to make the perfect cushion, as Kojima exhibits. The plushies are also shown off beside a Danboard figurine for size reference!

Project Code Name M, the mysterious new game from the Fata Morgana devs, shows a different side of Tokyo
Stories always came first for the team at NOVECT. The critical and commercial success of The House In Fata Morgana surprised many upon the title’s international release, including the developers themselves. Headlines were made when the game shot temporarily to the spot of most critically-acclaimed game of all time on Metacritic, despite being still relatively under the radar beforehand. Fata Morgana first released to the public in Japan in 2012, and gained a cult following before its eventual successful international release. The reason for it’s acclaim? Storytelling. Every single review praised Fata Morgana’s surprising and enthralling twists and turns as what made this visual novel a must-play title, even for non-fans of the genre.
At the time development started, NOVECT were less a development studio, and more of a group of univeristy friends with minimal coding experience but a love for telling stories; a hobby project run by friends on the side of university and normal jobs inside and out of the games industry, only becoming a fully-fledged studio later down the line. Fast forward to today, NOVECT are a firmly-established indie developer with games and multimedia adaptations of their work under their belt, and new project still mysteriously known as “Project Code Name ‘M'” now in the works. Originally starting development in 2019 and announced earlier this year, Project M had its first public demo at this month’s Bitsummit indie gaming showcasing in Kyoto.
Final Fantasy 16 at the Tokyo Game Show is a no go
Square Enix is gearing up for Japan’s version of E3 with plenty of RPG games in store, but don’t expect to see Final Fantasy 16 at the Tokyo Game Show. It’s notably absent from Square Enix’s meaty show lineup, which includes the likes of Final Fantasy 14, Forspoken, the life game Harvestella, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, and smaller to mid-tier titles, such as Star Ocean: The Divine Force and the Dragon Quest spinoff Dragon Quest Treasures.

The Xbox Stream is Back for Tokyo Game Show 2022
Resident Evil Village will be playable on PSVR 2 exclusively at Tokyo Game Show
Announced via Twitter, Capcom has revealed that Resident Evil Village will have a trial available to attendees on the Playstation VR 2 headset.
This particular trial will be available to the public during Tokyo Game Show, and according to Capcom’s website, only a limited number of attendees will be able to spend time with Lady Dimitrescu in PSVR 2, as you might’ve expected. That is if Lady D herself even appears in the particular trial, which is set to feature a part of the Dimitrescu Castle.
That said, it probably wouldn’t be much of a PSVR 2 trial if we weren’t able to experience the nine foot tall vampire tower over us, but only time will tell.
