Why it matters
The keynote pairing Sweeney with Kawasaki follows the same arrangement at Unreal Fest Tokyo 2025, and this time the stated topic is UE6's rollout, which makes the Tokyo stop a venue for engine-version news rather than only case studies.
CEO Tim Sweeney and Epic Games Japan representative Takayuki Kawasaki will share the keynote, covering the Epic ecosystem, the company's vision, and the rollout of UE6. More than 30 sessions are planned. Participation is free.
The keynote runs on November 3, a national holiday, alongside sessions, exhibition booths, and the Unreal Hub. November 4 carries sessions, booths, and the Unreal Hub plus the official networking party, which needs a separate 7,700 yen ticket. Game-field sessions include Netmarble's "Mongil: STAR DIVE" and Perfect World's "NTE: Neverness to Everness". Non-game sessions come from Toyota, Nissan, and Hyundai, with others on TBS's drama "GIFT" and music program "CDTV" use of UE5, and production case studies for "Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash - The Witch of Circe" and "Girls und Panzer the Movie".
