Tokyo Game Show brings major publishers and independent studios together to show their games. At the 2026 event, running September 17 through 21, Persona 4 Revival, Marvel’s Wolverine, Final Fantasy VII Revelation and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse are among the titles with announced demos.
Even if you are following from home, the lineup helps you see which games will be in the spotlight. I have grouped announcements made through September 6 by publisher, with trailers and a few options you can try without traveling. They include new games, expansions and new versions of existing releases.
A demo at the show does not mean there is a version available to download. Trailers may also show different sections from those prepared for TGS.
SEGA and ATLUS
SEGA/ATLUS will have demos of these games, including partner titles at the same booth:
- Stranger Than Heaven
- Persona 4 Revival

Even if you already know Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, the show will feature a special version. The announcement does not yet specify its tracks or characters. Stranger Than Heaven will have a demo, a museum and a musical theater.

Silent Hill: Townfall, Rev. NOiR, Rhapsody in Scarlet, PROJECT ZIRCON and Suikoden STAR LEAP also appear in Konami's program, but its catalog does not confirm playable demos for them. An appearance in a presentation is not the same as a demo announcement.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse continues Konami's partnership with Evil Empire, which worked on Dead Cells' Return to Castlevania expansion. In an interview with the producers, they explain that the new game retains 2D action and exploration while expanding the whip's role: it is used to traverse the environment as well as attack.
Capcom
Capcom has announced seven playable games:
- Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance
- Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen
- Mega Man: Dual Override
- Onimusha: Way of the Sword
- Pragmata
- Street Fighter 6
- Monster Hunter Outlanders
Tokyo Marui's Resident Evil-themed shooting activity is also part of the booth, but it is not a video game demo from the series.
In Pragmata, you control two characters at once: Hugh moves and shoots while Diana, a robot, hacks systems. They are trying to escape a lunar base controlled by a hostile artificial intelligence.
To try that combination at home, the free Sketchbook demo is available on Steam. It introduces the combat and exploration, but there is no confirmation that it is the same build prepared for the booth. The full game is sold separately.
Bandai Namco
Bandai Namco lists five demos at its main booth:
- Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve
- Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3
- Gundam Rogue Orbit
- One Piece: Grand Gourmet
- Bleach: Mirrors High
One Piece: Grand Gourmet will have a roughly 20-minute session covering cooking and restaurant decoration. The preorder campaign for Tales of Eternia Remastered, meanwhile, does not confirm a demo of that RPG at the booth.
Square Enix
- Final Fantasy VII Revelation
- Final Fantasy Resonance
Square Enix will have demos of both games on all five days. Final Fantasy Resonance's includes the start of the story and save files for a dungeon and the colosseum. Those last two options include content absent from the downloadable demo.
