The Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) released the exhibitor list today (the 8th) for Tokyo Game Show 2026 (TGS 2026), which will be held at Makuhari Messe. TGS 2026 is scheduled to take place from September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture. To commemorate its 30th anniversary, the event will run for five days, the longest duration in its history, to welcome gaming fans from around the world.

Alongside the extended schedule, a diverse range of game companies from Japan, Korea, and abroad have joined the exhibitor list. Major Japanese developers such as SIE, Capcom, Sega, SQUARE ENIX, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Koei Tecmo, Cygames, KONAMI, and Level-5 will be in attendance. Notably, Game Freak, which has rarely appeared at TGS in the past, has confirmed its participation following the August release of 'Beast of Reincarnation.'

The significant presence of domestic Korean game companies, continuing the trend from last year, is particularly noteworthy. NC will participate in TGS 2026 with 'Astraea Oratio,' a new electric RPG from Dynamis One. Nexon plans to showcase a diverse lineup centered on 'Project RX,' a new subculture title from Nexon Games. With Netmarble's new open-world title 'Shangri-La Frontier,' based on the anime IP of the same name, slated for release this year, the company is expected to reveal related information at TGS.

Smilegate, which showcased 'Chaos Zero Nightmare' last year, is also on the exhibitor list. Given that Smilegate invested approximately $100M (₩114.6 billion at the time) in June into That's No Moon—a studio founded by former Naughty Dog developers—to develop a new single-player narrative-focused TPS based on its flagship 'CrossFire' IP, attention is focused on whether more detailed information will be revealed at TGS.

In addition, Project Moon, which has consistently received positive responses at TGS for 'Limbus Company,' and L&K Logic Korea, the developer of 'Red Stone' (which recently celebrated its 21st anniversary in Japan), have confirmed their participation, along with Naver Webtoon, NHN, and Gravity. Various domestic indie games, including 'Interscape,' 'Nientum Op. Zero,' and 'Teaching My Sister to Drive,' which were selected for the 'Selected Indie 80,' will also be presented to Japanese and global gamers at TGS 2026.

Further information regarding TGS 2026 and future updates will be released sequentially through the official website and social media channels.
