Typhoon Dujuan disrupts Tokyo Game Show 2026

Overview

The 30th anniversary of the Tokyo Game Show (TGS2026) at Makuhari Messe faced a sudden disruption when the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) cancelled the final day of its five-day schedule. The cancellation was prompted by the approach of Typhoon Dujuan, which brought heavy rain and wind to the Kanto region.

Despite the shortened duration, the event featured significant industry activity. Hideo Kojima appeared to discuss his tactical spy-action project, ‘PHYSINT’, confirming Xbox as the publisher. Other major highlights included playable builds of ‘Final Fantasy VII Relevation’ from Square Enix, which introduced new ‘WEAR’ job systems, and demos for ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’.

Mobile gaming also saw detailed presentations, such as Lim Jonggyu, director of Dynamis One’s ‘Astrae Oratio’, discussing the upcoming smartphone RPG. Lim described a combat system inspired by fighting games like ‘Street Fighter’ and ‘Tekken’, alongside a ‘Free Time’ mode that reinterprets 1990s dating simulation mechanics. The title aims to blend retro aesthetics with modern 3D visual effects and full voice acting.

Indie and specialized titles maintained a presence, including Critical Reflex’s ‘SATED’ and ‘TANUKI: Pon’s Summer’, as well as Game Freak’s mobile title ‘Ame nochi Hare Onna’. Hardware and social initiatives remained central to the showcase, featuring Lenovo’s Legion series, IO Data’s motion-sickness-reducing monitors, and a collaborative VR rehabilitation project for pediatric cancer patients developed by Japan Electronics College and Okayama University Hospital.
