At the end of September, the 2024 Tokyo Game Show (TGS) was grandly held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. This year's exhibition, themed "Games Lead the World," attracted 985 companies and organizations from 44 countries and regions, with over 270,000 attendees, making it the largest game exhibition in Japan's history.

TGS, along with the American E3 and the German Gamescom, is one of the three major game exhibitions in the world, covering a wide range of game types, and naturally, it has become a showcase for Web3 games to compete for presence and display.

Additionally, on the eve of the exhibition, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) announced plans to reform its regulations related to crypto games, simplifying the process for companies to handle in-game crypto assets. This reform may significantly lower the barriers to entry into the blockchain gaming market and encourage more companies to venture into the blockchain gaming field. The favorable policies for this emerging market undoubtedly provide a boost to the attending blockchain game developers. So, which Web3 games or projects are showcased at TGS? This article will review some of the participating projects.

Dark Machine

Dark Machine is a third-person shooter game based on Immutable zkEVM technology, built using Unreal Engine 5, and developed by the Dubai Web3 game studio Meta-X. As a team-based dark mech shooter, it allows for battles of up to 7 vs. 7. Dark Machine plans to conduct beta testing in 2024, with a release expected in 2025, and aims to become the world's first blockchain game supporting decentralized tournaments.

Apeiron

Apeiron is a god simulation game that combines unique roguelite x real-time strategy card gameplay, developed by the Singapore game company FoonieMagus.

The game will also include single-player and guild modes, featuring both PvE and PvP elements. Players take on the role of deities, controlling and building their own planets, leading apostle teams to explore dungeons, and competing with other new gods in arenas. Apeiron raised tens of millions of dollars in seed funding, with investors including Hashed, IVC, and DeFiance, having raised over $24 million. Apeiron has now released a public beta version.
