Ninja Gaiden 4 time! We're getting the expected deep dive into the upcoming action game, with a look at its combat, enemies, and core mechanics.

There's also a lot of talk about its difficulty settings, which it seems will be as punishing as ever.

The game will feature new assists though, designed to make the game a little easier for those learning how to play.

It's time for our first game! A "fully rebuilt entry" in a series that started in Japan... What could it be?

We've got some Phil Spender action on screen right now, introducing the show.

The stream is beginning! Get ready...

Start getting ready for the stream folks, we've got just 15 minutes to go until it kicks off.

Grab a drink, make some popcorn, as this will likely be a long one.

Oh, that's a bit anticlimactic... It turns out that Microsoft has accidentally revealed Forza Horizon 6 over on an Instagram post.

The image, posted to the official Forza Horizon page, shows an in-game cinematic and is accompanied by the caption "The Horizon Festival is heading to Japan."

The cinematic also confirms a 2026 release window.

The Tokyo Game Show sale is here

Monster Hunter Wilds

If you want to celebrate Tokyo Game Show 2025 with some fantastic savings on great games, than the latest Xbox sale has you covered.

I'm seeing some top-notch sale prices while scrolling through the Toyko Game Show Sale section of the Xbox store right now, including a 40% discount on Final Fantasy 15 Complete Edition. Monster Hunter Wilds has also had its price slashed, as has Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

Head over to the official sale page and have a browse - you might be able to find a bargain ahead of today's stream.

How long will the show be?

Gears 5

Interestingly, there's no official word on how long the stream will be - which makes it a little bit difficult to predict just how many reveals there might be.

Luckily we can always look at previous year's shows to work out the potential length. Last year's Tokyo Game Show broadcast lasted just over 51 minutes, so I would expect this year's to last a similar length of time.

What if I can't watch the show?
