Tokyo Game Show is the latest major industry event to cancel plans for a physical gathering.
The show was due to take place from September 24 to 27 at the Japanese capital's Makuhari Messe.
However, organisers CESA, Nikkei and Dentsu have announced the event will be converted to an online edition, VGC reports.
"Due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on a global scale and the situation remains unpredictable in Japan as well, the organizer and the co-organizers have reached [this] decision after a long consideration to place the utmost priority on the health and safety of visitors, exhibitors and stakeholders," the organisers said in a statement.
