🎮All these works have attracted a lot of attention! Introducing the Japan Game Awards 2024 "Future Division" award-winning works!

The Tokyo Game Show 2024 (TGS 2024), Japan's largest game festival, opened on Thursday, September 26, 2024, but time is flying by and today, Sunday, September 29, 2024, marks the final day of the event. Time seems to flow several times faster than usual for such an enjoyable event. Although I am feeling a bit more sad, TGS 2024 is still underway, and because it is the last day of the event, it is still very exciting! One of the most popular events at TGS is the " Japan Game Awards " presentation ceremony, which is just as important as the booth exhibits. On the first day, Thursday, September 26, 2024, the " Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award ", " Game of theYear " and " Game Designers Award " were announced, and on the last day, Sunday, September 29, 2024, the " Future Division " was announced. On the final day, September 29, 2024 (Sunday), the "Future Division" was announced. We would like to introduce the winners of the "Future Division" in this issue.

In the "Future Division," ten highly anticipated games won awards!

The "Future Division" of the Japan Game Awards is open to all unreleased titles exhibited at TGS 2024. Of the 378 titles that were voted for, 10 were selected for the 2024 "Future Division" as titles that are particularly anticipated for future releases. We are sure that those who voted are very curious to see if the title they voted for won, so please check out the award-winning titles with great excitement and excitement!

Among them, " Metaphor: Refantaggio " and " Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven " will be released next month, and I think they have amplified the fans' desire to " play them as soon as possible!
