Bandai Namco is pulling out all the stops for Tokyo Game Show 2026, and the lineup is a wild mix of massive sequels and quirky side projects. If you’re heading to the show floor, here is exactly what you need to keep on your radar at their booth.

Finally, we’re getting our hands on the game that’s been fueling rumors for years. The TGS demo lets you pick between two avatars with distinct combat styles to tackle a mission alongside the Great Saiyans, culminating in a boss fight against SS Full Powered Super Broly. It’s essentially the same build they teased behind closed doors at Summer Game Fest, and while they're being tight-lipped about the reward, everyone who clears the demo walks away with a freebie.

Don't expect to actually play this one at TGS; Bandai Namco is keeping the demo build under wraps for the public days. Instead, they’re running a lottery-style campaign for Japanese residents who have already pre-ordered the remaster. It’s a bit of a tease for such a legendary RPG, but at least those who pre-ordered get a shot at some exclusive themed merch.

This is the heavy hitter for the non-RPG crowd at the booth. While details are sparse, it’s confirmed to be the primary focus of the company’s non-RPG showcase this year, so expect it to dominate the floor space. It’s clearly the big-budget spectacle they’re betting on to draw the biggest crowds.

I’m honestly surprised to see Kairosoft attached to a One Piece property, but here we are. You’ll be able to get some hands-on time with this restaurant management sim right on the booth floor. It’s a weird departure from the usual high-octane anime brawlers, but it’s definitely the most charming thing on the schedule.

Bandai Namco is also bringing their mobile title to the show for those who want to see how the game handles in a convention setting. It’s appearing alongside the bigger console titles, offering a quick bite of mobile gameplay for anyone waiting in the longer lines for Xenoverse.

If you need a break from the intense action of the main booth, head over to the Family Game Park area. They’ve got playable demos set up for this one, and since it’s already out, this is mostly just a chance to roll things up on a bigger screen than your handheld.

Rounding out the Family Game Park section is this already-released title. It’s a low-stakes inclusion that serves as a nice palate cleanser if the rest of the booth starts feeling too loud or chaotic. It’s definitely not the reason you’re flying to Tokyo, but it’s there if you need it.
TGS 2026 is shaping up to be a busy one, even if half the fun is just seeing what weird freebies you can snag from the demo stations. Make sure you prioritize that Xenoverse 3 line early if you want to avoid a multi-hour wait.
