The annual Tokyo Games Show has just wrapped up and gamers will be pleased to see quite a bit of new information has been released for a variety of upcoming games; there are also a range of new trailers and gameplay videos for some highly anticipated games.

Some of the most interesting news from TGS 2016 has come from large developer Sony who has revealed more information about games such as Final Fantasy 15 and The Last Guardian. Bizarrely though, there has been no news from Nintendo about their upcoming console which is due for release in March 2017. The upcoming console is the Nintendo NX and, so far, the only information available about this has come from leaks; if Nintendo intends to release the console soon then they’re running out of time to unveil it.

During the Tokyo Games Show, emphasis was placed on games for the Sony console which makes sense considering that Sony is a Japanese company. Various details about PS4 exclusive games were announced during TGS 2016 which made this a great time for fans of Sony and PlayStation.

Nioh

This game was announced not very long ago and more details were released about the upcoming action RPG at TGS 2016; Nioh is an exclusive to the Sony owned PlayStation 4 and sends the player on a journey to become a samurai.

The newly released gameplay shows a Dark Souls style game with a Japanese mythology inspired creature called Jorogumo; a part spider and part woman creature that;s really unsuitable for anyone with arachnophobia. It’s been confirmed for a February 9^th 2017 release date.

A new Final Fantasy 15 trailer was revealed at Tokyo Games Show and has provided a few new details to players; the new trailer is subtitled in English which is great considering this is a story focused trailer. It’s revealed some new scenes of the main characters in the game and has confirmed that various summons from the previous games will be featured in this game also. The car in Final Fantasy XV has also been shown to turn into a flying ship.
