Kodansha Game Creator's Lab Exhibits 14 Titles at Tokyo Game Show

Kodansha Game Creator's Lab will be exhibiting at the Indie Game Corner at Tokyo Game Show 2023, which will be held at Makuhari Messe from September 21 to September 24 (JST). 14 titles will be rolling out, including the current hit "BOKURA," as well as "In His Time" and "IGNISTONE," both of which were released this year. We will also be a platinum sponsor of "Selected Indie 80," a free exhibition project at the Indie Game Corner.

Shoppers will be handed out at the booth entrance, and displays and handouts will be made around the demo stands to bring out the appeal of each title. To enhance the value of the visitors' experience, the booth will also feature secret projects. We look forward to seeing you at the Game Creator's Lab booth, which will feature a collection of works that are brimming with individuality.
