TGS 2026: Bandai Namco reveals its line-up, Xenoverse 3 will be playable

Bandai Namco has opened its dedicated site for the Tokyo Game Show 2026 and posted the full list of what will be featured on its booth. The event runs from September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe, with a line-up mixing big franchises and curiosities.

At the main booth, seven games will be on display. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve (PS5, Xbox Series, PC) will be playable and will get a pre-order campaign, just like One Piece: Grand Gourmet on Switch 2, Switch, PC, iOS and Android. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 will also be playable with a controller in hand, news that will raise eyebrows given the publisher's relative silence about this third installment since its announcement. Alongside them, Once Upon a Katamari and Tamagotchi Plaza - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will also be playable, in an area dedicated to family gaming. Tales of Eternia Remastered will only get a pre-order campaign, with no playable booth announced for now.

For a publisher like Bandai Namco, TGS remains the essential year-end showcase to gauge the temperature of the Japanese public ahead of launches. Seeing Xenoverse 3 and Ace Combat 8 playable side by side confirms that 2026-2027 is shaping up to be a busy period for the company: a Dragon Ball-based fighting/action game and an arcade flight simulator calibrated for competition, two very different audiences but equally loyal ones. It remains to be seen whether other surprises will drop before September, as Bandai Namco has a habit of expanding its list in the weeks leading up to the event.
