First 5-day Tokyo Game Show in 30 years cuts back to 4 in face of Typhoon Dujuan

As reported by Kotaku, the organizers of the Tokyo Game Show have announced that its final day has been canceled and tickets for Monday, September 21 will be refunded. This was supposed to be the first five-day event in TGS’ 30-year run⁠—while I am not a superstitious man, God or karma or something may be trying to tell us that it’s just supposed to be a four-day deal.

“Due to the approach of Typhoon No. 25, strong winds and rain are expected to intensify in the afternoon and beyond, and disruptions to transportation are also a concern,” event organizers wrote on Twitter. “Therefore, prioritizing the safety of all attendees, exhibitors, and related parties, as well as ensuring safe return home, we have decided to cancel the event for the entire day.”
