Tokyo Game Show 2026 cancels final day due to Typhoon No. 25

Tokyo Game Show 2026 Typhoon No. 25 CESA Makuhari Messe event cancellation

The Tokyo Game Show 2026 has cancelled its final day, scheduled for Monday, September 21, due to the approach of Typhoon No. 25. The decision was made by the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) to prioritize the safety of attendees, exhibitors, and staff, citing concerns over heavy rain, strong winds, and potential disruptions to public transportation.

The event, which was intended to be the first five-day iteration in its 30-year history, will now conclude after four days. While the show continues as planned on September 20, the cancellation of the final day affects several scheduled activities, including specific stage events and VRChat-related programs. Organizers noted that some stage events may be converted to online broadcasts.

Attendees who purchased tickets specifically for the September 21 session are eligible for refunds. The typhoon is expected to bring significant rainfall and wind to the Kanto region and surrounding areas, including the Izu Islands, prompting weather warnings and potential transport delays on major lines such as the Sobu and Keiyo lines.
