The Tokyo Games Show 2020 begins on September 24, and much like other games industry events such as Gamescom, the event will take place entirely online through video channels due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The official schedule for TGS is now live, and while the first day is light on content, it does feature a 50-minute long Xbox Tokyo Games Show Showcase at 5 AM PT.

Microsoft has struggled to establish a foothold in the Japanese market, something which Xbox head Phil Spencer wants to remedy when the Xbox Series X launches globally in the 2020 holiday season.

You can see the full schedule in the image below. Please note, the times listed are in Japanese Standard Time.

As we inch closer and closer to the holiday season that has both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 waiting in the wings, it’s probably about time we start hearing about some of each console’s defining features. In the case of the PS5, Sony has let developers explain why the inclusion of its super-fast SSD and implementation of 3D audio are potential game-changers.

The speed and architecture of the SSD allows for games to access data both more efficiently and quickly, as Sony’s Mark Cerny explained in detail earlier this year. What that means for game’s in practice is little to no load times, faster movement speeds through larger worlds, or potentially new game experiences that haven’t been envisioned yet.

As Neil Hill, lead programmer on Far Cry 6, explains in the latest PlayStation Blog post: “The SSD is a gamechanger, I think as this generation matures we will see some amazing innovation in streaming and open-world game design.”

On Twitter, Capcom confirmed that Resident Evil Village will be part of Tokyo Game Show. The company’s live show will be held on two days, September 26-27, through Capcom’s Twitch Channel.

On both days, the livestream will run from 5 AM – 8 AM PDT. If you’re looking to just catch Resident Evil Village news, it will be part of September 27’s stream. The broadcast will be in Japanese, but simultaneous English and Chinese interpretations will be available. Capcom has also announced that it will be showing Street Fighter V Champion Edition during the September 26 livestream.

An announcement trailer for Resident Evil Village was released back in June. Producers Tsuyoshi Kanda and Pete Fabiano’s interview with Famitsu, translated by Alex Aniel, also revealed more about this new addition to Capcom’s popular horror franchise. Resident Evil Village will conclude Ethan’s story that started in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. They also commented that the title underscores village because there is “another protagonist” in the game and don’t want the game to be known as Resident Evil 8.

Few successful horror franchises ever truly die, and Scream is the latest series to be rebooted. The fifth Scream movie has now been given a confirmed release date, and the first teaser has been released.

Scream 5 will hit theaters on January 14, 2022. The film has been steadily adding cast members over the last few months, but it is yet to start production. As a result the teaser is very basic–literally just the movies’ iconic Ghostface mask emerging out of darkness. Nevertheless, it’s exciting to see it again–check the teaser out below:

Scream 5 hasn’t got an official title–although given every movie so far has just been a numerical sequel, it might just stay that way. It’ll be directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who helmed last year’s highly entertaining horror comedy Ready or Not.

In addition to the reveal of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, 2020 will also see the introduction of new GPU architecture from both Nvidia and AMD. Nvidia’s new hardware will be on display very soon: The GeForce Special Event announced a few weeks ago will take place today, September 1, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. You can watch the Nvidia livestream right here to see all of the news and announcements it has to share regarding its new Ampere GPUs, including the RTX 3090.

Nvidia has spent recent weeks on social media celebrating the past two decades of PC gaming and hardware advancements. During the event, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will deliver an update that “highlight[s] the company’s latest innovations in gaming and graphics.” It hasn’t explicitly stated that the RTX 3090 will be among the hardware on display, but it’s a safe bet based on leaks.

News of this event came shortly after a series of short teaser trailers that Nvidia has been sharing on Twitter. This included one that simply reads, “21 Days. 21 Years.” This September 1 date in line with both rumors and previous Nvidia reveals, which typically took place in August during Gamescom ahead of a product release in September. With Gamescom having just concluded its digital event this past weekend, Nvidia will focus now host its own event today.

Marvel’s Avengers has launched worldwide to those players who pre-ordered the game for early access, with the worldwide launch coming on September 4. The story of how the Avengers reassemble to face the threat of Advanced Idea Mechanics is only part of the full experience, as the game will continue long after the main campaign has wrapped up.

According to a new blog post from developer Crystal Dynamics, these events will be split between weekly and seasonal activities such as missions, faction challenges, and community challenges, and will reward players with cosmetics and gear if they can complete these objectives before they expire.

Missions can be accessed through the war table, and will also feature weekly content and their own unique loot to earn. Modified operations will be playable through Priority Missions and Priority HARM challenges that include several modifiers, while two new mission modes will be activated after Marvel’s Avengers launches. One of these new modes focuses on co-op play and is only active during weekends, while the second challenges you to use your entire roster of heroes to run a gauntlet in solo play.
