Happinet Booth At TGS2026 Hosts Demo Builds Of Beast Of Reincarnation And Brigandine Abyss
Brigandine Abyss's producer Masaru Saito says the TGS build was tuned down after testers repeatedly called the original difficulty unclearable, which makes the booth demo a record of a balance pass that shipped in a different form.

Happinet is exhibiting at Tokyo Game Show 2026 across three venues at Makuhari Messe: the main booth in Hall 6, the Indie Game Corner in Hall 9, and the Family Game Park at TKP Tokyo Bay Makuhari Hall. More than 13 titles are playable at the main booth, alongside photo spots and campaign projects. Two released titles anchor the lineup. Game Freak's action RPG Beast of Reincarnation follows protagonist Emma and her dog companion Cu across a ruined Japan more than a thousand years after the world collapsed in the year 4026. Emma builds a gauge through sword attacks and parries, then spends it to issue commands to Cu. The game is on sale for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, supports Game Pass, and has a packaged PS5 version. A life-size Cu photo spot is set up at the booth. Brigandine Abyss, a turn-based strategy game where 25 factions contest a continent against the New Abyss Lore Empire, gets an event-limited build. TGS2026 runs from September 17 to September 21, 2026, with September 17 and 18 as business days.
Both pieces describe the same booth detail: the TGS2026 build of Brigandine Abyss is not the retail version. The event-limited build adds Alicebell of Purifano as a playable leader unit alongside Largo of Gran Dragnica and Garnet of Scarlet Will, the two leaders selectable in the free demo. Monsters are arranged with many unique species on both enemy and ally sides.
- Largo (Gran Dragnica)
- Garnet (Scarlet Will)
- Alicebell (Purifano, event build only)
Producer Masaru Saito said the build was originally much harder, but staff testers said one after another, "There is no way we can clear this!!" so the difficulty was lowered. It is now tuned to be cleared in about 3 to 5 turns. An AR monitor project called "Faction Diagnosis" runs at the venue.
Brigandine Abyss is on sale for PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, and arrives about six years after the previous entry in the series. Beast of Reincarnation has been updated repeatedly since release, with Game Freak stating that updates will continue based on player feedback. Cosplayers Shirone A and Tokiwa appear at the venue at times.
