The conference is expected to unveil a number of new Japanese games for Sony's current platforms, namely the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro. This appears to be a tradition for the company as far as their previous pre-TGS conferences are concerned.
In last year's PlayStation Press Conference, fans saw the world premiere reveals of Koei Tecmo's "Warriors All-Stars," Square Enix's "SaGa Scarlet Grace," a special edition "Final Fantasy XV" for the PS4, and D3 Publisher's "Earth Defense Force 5." This year's PSPC will likely be the same with new titles being announced from different Japanese publishers.
In addition to new games, the conference will likely confirm the release dates for some games already announced by the company and may see the reveal new console bundles. With rumors that the PlayStation 5 is already on the horizon, it would not be surprising if a few hints will be made regarding Sony's new flagship console as well.
For those lucky enough to be in Japan during the video game expo, TGS 2017 will be open to the public during the final two days.
