Last week, GIANTY proudly participated in Tokyo Game Show 2024 (TGS), one of the largest gaming exhibitions in the world. Held from September 26th to September 29th at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba, Japan, this year’s Tokyo Game Show attracted almost 275 thousand attendees, bringing together industry professionals and gaming enthusiasts alike.
This event is a key platform for showcasing the latest advancements in the gaming industry, and GIANTY was honored to be part of it. With over three decades of history, Tokyo Game Show remains a hub of innovation and creativity, where companies from all corners of the gaming world gather to share their latest projects, build relationships, and discuss the future of the industry.
GIANTY’s presence at Tokyo Game Show 2024 underscored our ongoing commitment to being at the forefront of these developments. In this blog, we are excited to share some of our most memorable highlights from the event.
Showcasing Our Expertise at Tokyo Game Show 2024: 2D and 3D Design
At our booth, GIANTY introduced a major project we have been working on — the 3D modeling of characters and background assets for a highly anticipated title from Square Enix.
We also had the opportunity to demonstrate our innovative solutions in 2D and 3D design to a global audience of game developers, publishers, and enthusiasts. The response to our work was incredibly positive, and we’re thrilled to have had the chance to present these capabilities to such a broad audience.
These demonstrations highlighted our versatility and expertise, reinforcing GIANTY’s ability to support top-tier game development projects across various platforms and genres.
Engaging with Partners and Industry Experts
In addition to showcasing our projects, Tokyo Game Show 2024 provided us with a valuable platform to connect with industry leaders and potential collaborators. These interactions allowed us to discuss the latest industry trends, share insights, and explore new business opportunities that could fuel our growth in the years ahead.
We had valuable time to connect and engage in meaningful discussions with hundreds of industry experts, potential partners, and representatives from leading companies.
We particularly focused on domestic game companies, sharing insights, and exploring potential partnerships. We also discussed the evolving dynamics of the gaming market, particularly the growing shift toward console gaming and the increasing importance of North American markets for Japanese developers.
Insights from COO Shingo Honda
GIANTY’s COO, Shingo Honda, who has been attending the Tokyo Game Show for the past eight years, shared his reflections on this year’s event.
“I noticed a significant increase in attendees during the business days compared to last year. However, I saw very few mobile titles on display, and there seemed to be fewer new console games as well,” Honda remarked, pointing to a shift in the industry’s focus.
One of the key takeaways from our discussions with various companies at Tokyo Game Show 2024 was that the domestic market in Japan is facing challenges, with sluggish sales being a common concern.
Based on our experience at Tokyo Game Show 2024, GIANTY is optimistic about the road ahead. Our track record of successful collaborations with Japanese companies positions us well to expand into the gaming market, where we can offer our expertise in game development, design, and software development.
We are confident that our commitment to quality will set us apart as we continue to expand our international partnerships. We hope this marks the beginning of many successful future projects!
