CESA, which also turns 30 this year, will open its own anniversary site on August 26, featuring an interactive online quiz about Japan's game industry history. The anniversary projects include a premium ticket with a pure gold medal, a talk stage with producers of milestone titles, a panel exhibition tracing the industry since 1996, and a support message board. The show also announced new sponsors, including Razer for the Creator Lounge and LINE Yahoo as communication partner, plus the appointment of eight new TGS BOOSTERZ ambassadors.
