Tokyo Game Show 2026 cut short by typhoon

Tokyo Game Show 2026, held at Makuhari Messe, saw significant industry activity despite a sudden disruption. While the event was scheduled to run for five days, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) cancelled the final day due to the approach of Typhoon Dujuan, which brought heavy rain and wind to the Kanto region.

Major highlights included Hideo Kojima’s appearance to discuss his tactical spy-action project, PHYSINT, confirming Xbox as the publisher. Other notable announcements and playable demos featured titles such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Final Fantasy VII Relevation, and various indie titles like SATED and TANUKI: Pon’s Summer.

The event also showcased technological advancements and social initiatives, including VR games designed for pediatric cancer rehabilitation and new gaming hardware from companies like Lenovo and IO Data.
