The main visual for the TOKYO GAME SHOW 2019, the biggest gaming event in Japan held by Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) in cooperation with Nikkei Business Publications, Inc. (Nikkei BP,) has been chosen.
The main visual of TGS2019 was produced by Ippei Gyoubu, the Japanese famous illustrator, as usual. This work expresses “One World, Infinite Joy,” the theme of TGS2019. As symbol of this event, it will appear in a variety of situations. Please look forward to seeing them.
Comment from the creator, Ippei Gyoubu,
“I’m deeply impressed to be aware that I have been commissioned to create the main visual of TGS for 10 years! The new era, Reiwa, has just began and society is changing at a more accelerated pace.Even if the trends and technologies change, we human beings would enjoy them.We need the “interactive” devices as a bridge between technologies and human beings.I always think games will serve as the “bridge” in the best way. I’ve got the inspiration for the main visual for TGS2019 from its theme, “One World, Infinite Joy.” I tried to express relationships between old technologies and new ones, and people to people relationship lie ahead of technological innovation. She is reaching out her hands to you in front of the picture!”
