With Gamescom 2015 having ended, I felt it would be a good thing to have a centralized discussion for all things concerning the next big games conference. With Tokyo Game Show 2015 just a bit more than a month away, news about it is going to start coming out and some might not be big enough to have their own threads, like today's press release of the TGS 2015 keynotes including "The Current State of the Japanese Computer Game Industry, and the NewComputer Entertainment Supplier’s Organization (CESA)," and "Hit Contents Creation made possible by the unique status of a Creator and Corporate Executive (Level-5)."
So it's been stated that TGS 2015 will be the biggest in the show's history, with 293 companies having signed up as exhibitors as of July 10th (there were 224 signed up at that point in 2014). The number of booths has reached 1,904 (surpassing last year's final number of 1,1715), and the CESA has said they will be using the entirety of the Makuhari Messe convention center instead of just a portion of it for the first time ever because of the show's size.
With that as context, what are we expecting from TGS this year? I've created a tentative list of relatively high profile Japanese games we might expect to see new info for at TGS 2015 (games which have not been unveiled bolded; percentages mostly arbitrary):
