Look, let's be honest, Smilegate is back at the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2026 to greet global attendees and industry insiders, as announced on August 17. Running until August 21 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, Smilegate has set up a dedicated booth to showcase two brand-new games. This marks Smilegate's second consecutive year participating in the Tokyo Game Show, following last year, to meet global gaming fans.

Smilegate is operating demo zones and various on-site programmes for the new titles 'Miraeshi: The Unseen Future' (Miraeshi) and 'Dead Account: Two Blue Flames' at booth S09 in Hall 2 of the Makuhari Messe exhibition centre. Detailed programmes and timetables can be checked on each game's official social media channels and the Smilegate TGS special website.

The Miraeshi booth showcases character visuals through a four-sided light-emitting diode (LED) tower and an LED gate. Videos capturing the characters' backstories were unveiled for the first time at the LED gate. In addition, Smilegate is collaborating with MouseComputer, which operates the gaming-specific device brand G TUNE, to provide a comfortable demo environment. Visitors who participate in the demo will receive an 'Itsuka Character Clear Bag', and can spend a special time with the characters inside the four-sided LED tower. By following the official social media and completing pre-registration, visitors can receive goods such as a 'Can Badge' and 'Manju Keychain', and can obtain original merchandise like a 'Dakimakura', 'Volume Mousepad', and 'Happi' through a gacha.

Various programmes are taking place on the Miraeshi on-site stage. On August 17, a new art drawing show by Art Director (AD) Kim Hyung-sub was held. On August 19, a stage featuring cosplayer Iori Moe and VTuber Nekota Tsuna, hosted by YouTuber Tonakaito, is scheduled to reveal Miraeshi's raid content for the first time. On August 20, a cosplay stage by cosplayer Enako and a game demo by Kamito will follow, and on August 21, a game demo by VTuber Asumi Sena and stages featuring Hiiragi Tsurugi and Yakumo Beni are arranged.

The 'Dead Account: Two Blue Flames' booth is decorated with a comic-concept large gate. Visitors can enjoy cutscenes and the latest gameplay footage from the game through a large LED screen, and the demo zone is configured to let visitors experience the unique worldview and intense battle system. Visitors to the booth will be given a 'Hand Fan', and original goods such as 'Can Badges' and 'Stickers' will be provided upon participating in events. In particular, if visitors participate in the demo, official social media follow, and pre-registration event all together, they can receive merchandise such as a 'Deadao Special Set', 'Desk Mat', 'T-shirt', and 'Acrylic Keychain' through a large gacha.

The Dead Account stage is also presenting programmes. On August 17, a game introduction interview session featuring MC Baek Hwa-yoran and developer Ian Games Producer (PD) Kim Byeong-ki took place. On August 19, a cosplay stage featuring local cosplayer Shinonome Umi is scheduled to be held, and on August 20, a talk show with popular YouTuber Zuzu-san is arranged. On the final day, August 21, a talk show involving voice actors Fairouz Ai, who plays Urusugawa Kiyomi, and Machico, who plays Haijima Hiyori, will follow. Smilegate is also operating a stamp rally for booth visitors. Visitors will receive a leaflet and get stamps each time they complete event missions for the two titles, and collecting all four will allow them to participate in an additional gacha for their desired title's merchandise.
