TGS 2026 Notebook: A Busy, Noisy 30th Anniversary and Some Surprises

Tokyo Game Show 2026 expanded to five days for its 30th anniversary, running September 17 to 21, but organizers canceled the September 21 on-site events as Typhoon No. 25 approached, leaving the show at four days with 257,642 attendees. SEGA/ATLUS brought 16 games and 27 stage events, CAPCOM held the world's first on-site demo of Monster Hunter Wilds: Iceborne-style expansion content, and SQUARE ENIX opened public demos of Final Fantasy VII REVELATION.
