Smilegate announced on the 3rd that it officially opened booths for 'Chaos Zero Nightmare' (hereinafter 'Chaos Zero') and 'Miraesi: Invisible Future' (hereinafter 'Miraesi') at Anime Expo 2026 (AX), North America's largest subculture festival, held in Los Angeles for four days starting on the 2nd (local time).

The 'Miraesi' booth is located in the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center. It welcomes visitors with a variety of attractions, including a hands-on demo zone, a four-sided LED experience zone, and a 360-degree photo zone.

The 'Miraesi' stage will host daily events for visitors. Notably, on the morning of the 4th, developers Kwon Se-woong, Jo Sun-gu, and Kim Hyung-seop (Hyulla) from CONTROL9 will hold a 'Dev Talk' to share the game's development philosophy and history. Additionally, renowned illustrators such as REIQ, Karory, and Ruca will participate in a three-day drawing show on stage, where they will illustrate 'Miraesi' characters in their own unique styles.

REIQ will also appear as a guest at a separate panel session on the evening of the 4th, where they will perform a joint drawing show with Kim Hyung-seop. The 'Miraesi' booth will offer various limited-edition merchandise, including 'Miraesi'-themed happi coats, as rewards for participating in on-site events.

Chaos Zero,' which enjoys significant popularity in North America, has set up its booth in the lobby in front of the South Hall. The booth is designed as an immersive space that makes visitors feel as if they have stepped into the game, reflecting the 'Nightmare' ship and the 'Chaos' combat zones. Various on-site events will allow visitors to collect physical versions of the game's core combat cards. Visitors who collect all the cards will be entered into a raffle for a 24K gold card.

As this is the first offline event for the game in North America, developers including Kim Hyung-seok and So Su-bin will be on-site to meet fans, hold photo sessions, and host autograph signings. During a panel session on the evening of the 3rd, Super Creative's Kim Hyung-seok, So Su-bin, and Ryu Han-kyung will discuss the present and future of 2D animation games with users and share the development story of 'Chaos Zero.
