G4 Sets October 20 Report Session on Gamescom Visit and Sweden Dispatch
The demos put nine titles from G4's domestic publisher and overseas dispatch programs in front of an audience three weeks after the developers returned from Game Habitat, which is the point at which the program's support either turns into contacts or does not.

Global Game Growth Gateway will hold a joint report session on October 20, 2026 at TUNNEL TOKYO in Shinagawa, Tokyo. Michiharu Mori of Shueisha Games gives the gamescom visit report, followed by individual reports from room6, Toei, Aniplex, Kotobuki Solution, and Assobism. Pao-chanzu and Nukenin report on the Sweden dispatch. Playable demos run for nine titles from the program's selected developers. Capacity is 100, admission free.
G4 dispatched developers to the Swedish development community Game Habitat for about two weeks in early September 2026. The program covered visits to local development schools and networking, and participants learned about the game industry and human resource development there.
The October 20 session divides into two parts. Michiharu Mori of Shueisha Games reports on gamescom, then Junko Ito of room6, Hiyori Iwakawa of Toei, Shu Kimura of Aniplex, Minori Fujiharu of Kotobuki Solution, and Kiyokatsu Inoue of Assobism give individual reports. Hinuko Shima of Pao-chanzu and Ken Watabe of Nukenin follow with the Sweden results.
G4 is run by IGDA Japan with VIPO as secretariat, using the Agency for Cultural Affairs' Cultural Arts Activity Base Strengthening Fund. It runs from October 2025 to March 2028, with North America, Europe, and China as priority regions.
