The most recent Tokyo Game Show event took place last September, and drew 262,076 attendees over the course of four days.
The event is currently considering ways to hold an online event.
The event was scheduled to take place at Chiba’s Makuhari Messe center on September 24 to 27.
The official website for the Tokyo Game Show convention announced on Friday that it has canceled its planned event later this year out of concern for attendees, exhibitors, and staff in light of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
