Tokyo Game Show 2015: 5 Highlights From This Year's Expo

When it comes to video game trade shows, E3 is typically the first to come to mind. After that, it'd typically be shows like GamesCom or the Game Developers Conference - but there's one other show that most certainly deserves your attention.

For the past few years, the Tokyo Game Show has been something of a smaller show. That's not to say that there aren't enough people attending, it's just that any announcements made at the show tend to be on the smaller side.

However, when it comes to the 2015 show, that's just not the case: this year's TGS was packed to the brim with huge announcements as well as some major updates - sure, it wasn't quite as big as E3, but if you've been ignoring the gaming news out of Japan these past few weeks, you've been missing out.

Not to worry: if you missed out on Tokyo Game Show 2015, we've got five of the biggest headlines from this year's show.

And, while Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and Final Fantasy XV had some great (if somewhat confusing) trailers, they just didn't make the cut.

So, without further adieu, here are the top five highlights from Tokyo Game Show 2015:

Gravity Rush 2 announced, Gravity Rush headed to PS4

Speaking of From Software, the developers had a busy week: not only did Dark Souls III finally get a proper reveal, but the first major expansion for Bloodborne also made its grand debut.

Dubbed The Old Hunters, Bloodborne's first DLC looks to fix most of the game's lingering issues. First and foremost, From Software revealed a slew of new weapons, with each looking better than the last. New bosses and environments were also revealed (including some major story elements), and it even looks like From Software will have players revisiting old areas with new enemies - if you've played Bloodborne since its release, The Old Hunters should be just what the doctor ordered.

This year's Tokyo Game Show was absolutely huge - while it's been more of a niche trade show in recent years, TGS 2015 was packed with massive reveals and big updates. It's still not known for being quite as big as E3 or GamesCom - but, if the show's 2015 outing becomes the norm, that might not be the case for much longer!
