Smilegate showcased two new titles at Tokyo Game Show 2026, drawing demo zone waiting lines of over two hours. Videos related to MIRESI recorded over 5 million views on social media X.
Smilegate announced on September 23 that it concluded operating its official booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held over four days from September 17 to 20 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The company set up demo zones for MIRESI: Invisible Future (hereafter MIRESI) and Dead Account: Two Blue Flames at Hall 2, Booth S09.
Crowds gathered at the demo zones for both games, forming lines with wait times exceeding two hours. The booth also hosted a 'stamp rally' where visitors could play the games, collect stamps from events throughout the area, and try their luck at a giant gacha machine.
The MIRESI space was structured around a four-sided LED tower and a large LED gate. The character video screened at the gate recorded over 5 million views on X. Operating for the second consecutive year following last year, the demo zone introduced improved graphics and new content, while Art Director Kim Hyeong-seop unveiled 'Memento'—new content expressing character memories through illustrations—during a live drawing show.
The stage featured cosplayers Iori Moe and Enako, as well as VTubers Nekota Tsuna and Kamito. Iori Moe and Enako took the stage dressed as MIRESI characters Ende and Itsuka, respectively. During the VTubers' early gameplay demonstration, 'Raid' content—where four characters team up to defeat a boss—was revealed for the first time.
The Dead Account: Two Blue Flames area recreated the atmosphere of the original manga with a blue flames concept and a large gate shaped like a comic book. Making its debut at TGS, the large-scale demo zone showcased combat action and content based on the original work. Producer Kim Byung-ki of Ian Games met with visitors, and cosplayer Shinonome Umi alongside YouTuber Zuzu-san also participated in stage programs.
Smilegate CBO Baek Young-hoon said, “We sincerely thank all the visitors and fans who visited the Smilegate booth during TGS. Having confirmed the potential of our new lineup through the strong interest and positive acclaim from global users, we will prepare thoroughly through to the official launch to deliver a great experience.”
