[Tokyo Game Show 2024] Blockchain Game Exhibition Report

The Tokyo Game Show 2024, running from September 26 to September 29, 2024, opened at Makuhari Messe, marking the largest show ever held in Japan. The exhibition hall was abuzz with activity, with 985 companies and organizations from 44 countries and regions in attendance. This year's show gives the impression that both indie games and AAA titles are beginning to naturally incorporate NFT and WEB3 elements. In this report, we cover the excitement of the venue on the first day of the show, focusing on blockchain games that are garnering significant attention.

The popular gymnast, Orakio-san, will be appearing at the venue. This is a unique opportunity to experience the world of games together with Orakio-san. Additionally, there will be a lottery for luxurious prizes, and the 'GESO Verse' blockchain game platform will also be on display, making it worth a visit.

Players progress through the game as 'Immortals', fighting powerful demons and utilizing their own skill trees to craft various battle styles. Although it is an idle game, it seems entertaining with battles and effects that are enjoyable to watch. The game is free to play and runs on the Immutable zkEVM chain. Location: 07-C11

The venue is so vast that it's easy to lose track of where things are, so I felt it was essential to always have the venue map at hand. Here is a link to the TGS2024 venue map.

I was surprised by the unexpectedly large number of BCGs that could not be displayed at TGS2024 on BCGI.
