NetEase’s open-world RPG ANANTA has won a Japan Game Awards 2025 “Future Division” trophy at Tokyo Game Show. Here’s what that award actually signifies and why it matters for an unreleased title.
Inside the Future Division at Tokyo Game Show
The Future Division recognizes unreleased games exhibited at TGS that capture the strongest player anticipation. Voting is conducted on-site by attendees during the show period, with winners announced at the JGA ceremony.
Public Voting Rules and Participation at TGS
Eligible attendees cast ballots on the show floor (one person, one vote). Any platform or region may be represented, as long as the title is a TGS exhibit and unreleased at the time of voting.
Why a Pre-Launch Win Actually Matters
Because ballots reflect hands-on impressions and floor buzz, a Future Division trophy signals early market momentum and player excitement—a different metric from post-launch awards decided after release.
ANANTA’s Win in One Shareable Line
ANANTA earned a Japan Game Awards 2025 “Future Division” excellence trophy at TGS, chosen by public vote as one of the show’s most anticipated unreleased games.
