Smilegate announced on the 11st its booth plans for 'Anime Expo 2026 (AX),' the largest subculture event in North America, to be held in Los Angeles this July. The company will feature its upcoming titles, 'Chaos Zero Nightmare' and 'Miraesi: The Unseen Future.'

The new title 'Miraesi' will host a booth in the West Hall of the LA Convention Center to engage with North American users. The booth will feature a demo zone—the first of its kind in North America—allowing attendees to play the game, as well as a 4-sided LED experience zone previously showcased at Tokyo Game Show and AGF. Additionally, a 360-degree photo zone and live events featuring cosplay models will be held, with AX-exclusive merchandise provided to participants.

A special panel session is also scheduled, featuring a drawing show by Art Director Kim Hyung-seop (Hyung-tae Kim/Hyeolla), known for his work on 'Destiny Child' and 'Goddess of Victory: Nikke.' Special guest artists will also join to showcase 'Miraesi' characters in their own unique styles.

'Chaos Zero Nightmare' will have a booth in the lobby in front of the South Hall. This marks the first offline event for the game since its North American launch. The booth will feature a 'Dice Battle' event based on the game's concept, a photo zone, photo opportunities with cosplay models and developers, and developer autograph sessions.

Chaos Zero Nightmare' will also host a separate panel session. Key developers from Super Creative will participate to discuss the present and future of 2D animation games, share development processes, and reveal behind-the-scenes stories with fans.

Smilegate plans to release detailed information regarding specific booth programs and on-site events for each game sequentially through its brand page and official social media channels.

Ino Joo, Director at Smilegate, stated, "We have prepared a variety of interactive elements and events to showcase the appeal of Korean subculture games to North American users," adding, "We also look forward to engaging in deeper communication with our users through the panel sessions."

Meanwhile, further information regarding Smilegate's participation in Anime Expo 2026 can be found on the official brand website.
