Tokyo Game Show (TGS)
Category：Game Systems
Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is a major annual expo held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. For ANANTA it marks exhibition cadence: TGS2025 had a public playtest booth, while at TGS2026 NetEase / Naked Rain were off the exhibitor list and Chinese majors were absent from the consumer hall, so ANANTA had no public booth. TGS2026 lost its Sep 21 final day to Typhoon No. 25 'Dujuan', with 257,642 admissions over the four days held. Skipping one show is not slowed development — the date, license and monetization were already announced.
The Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is a major annual game expo held in Japan at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, split into business days and public days, and one of the key stages where East Asian console and game publishers make their presence felt. For ANANTA, TGS is a useful reference point for its exhibition cadence: at the prior edition (TGS2025) ANANTA ran a public playtest booth, while at TGS2026 NetEase / Naked Rain did not appear on the exhibitor company list — consistent with the broader pattern of Chinese majors being collectively absent from the general-public hall this year (see our timeline node “TGS2026 Absence” and the blog post TGS2026, Cut Short by a Typhoon). TGS2026 was scheduled for Sep 17–21 but the Sep 21 final day was cancelled due to Typhoon No. 25 “Dujuan,” with 257,642 admissions over the four days held. Note that missing one show is not the same as slowed development — ANANTA’s January 15, 2027 release date, publishing license and monetization model had all been announced beforehand, and whether any non-public business meetings took place is not stated by the official side and is not confirmed here.
