Tokyo Game Show 2025 has revealed their main visual, along with a few more key announcements regarding the list of exhibitors and dates for overseas ticket sales. We look forward to providing you with additional announcements and coverage of Tokyo Game Show 2025 when the event begins later this summer.
Main Visual for TGS2025
As announced in May, illustrator Zashiki Warashi is the creator of this year’s main visual for TGS 2025. The artwork represents TGS2025’s theme: "Unlimited, Neverending Playgrounds," and there’s also an official video that brings the art and even theme to life!
Comment from Zashiki Warashi“I am truly happy to have received so many reactions to the teaser illustration. I've never had the experience of releasing a teaser and a main visual separately before, so receiving comments like ‘I'm looking forward to the main one too’ was very new. As the main visual's release draws near, I'm very much looking forward to it myself. Even my mother has been looking forward to the release. This visual incorporates many elements of games that I love. I drew it with a feeling of gratitude towards those involved in game production. I put my heart into it despite the pressure of such a prestigious event like TGS. I would be happy if visitors to TGS enjoy it even a little!”
