Smilegate has officially landed at Anime Expo 2026, North America's premier subculture festival, showcasing booths for 'Chaos Zero Nightmare' and 'Miraesi: Invisible Future'. The event is currently unfolding over four days, starting from the 2nd, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The team behind 'Miraesi: Invisible Future' has set up camp in the West Hall of the LA Convention Center, featuring demo zones, a four-sided LED immersive experience, and a 360-degree photo zone. Control Nine's CEO and Creative Director Kwon Se-woong, PD Jo Soon-gu, and AD Kim Hyung-seop will take to the stage on the 4th to pull back the curtain on their development philosophy and history.

From Thursday through Saturday, the stage will host live drawing shows featuring illustrators such as REIQ, Karory, and Ruca. REIQ will also join AD Kim Hyung-seop for a dedicated panel session on the evening of the 4th. Booth visitors can walk away with various limited-edition merchandise, including game-themed happi coats, depending on their participation in on-site events.

As for 'Chaos Zero Nightmare', the developers have constructed an immersive booth in the lobby outside the South Hall, meticulously recreating the 'Nightmare' and 'Chaos' environments from the game. Fans can participate in an on-site event to collect physical versions of the game's core combat cards, with a 24K gold card waiting for a lucky few who complete the full set.

PD Kim Hyung-seok and AD So Soo-bin will be on hand for autograph sessions and photo ops to engage directly with the audience. Additionally, a panel session on the evening of the 3rd will feature Super Creative’s PD Kim Hyung-seok, AD So Soo-bin, and AD Ryu Han-kyung, who plan to share their insights on the current state of 2D animation games and the development process.
