Nexon Picks Mabinogi Mobile and Fareidria for TGS 2026 Japan Push
Nexon is concentrating its TGS presence on two titles that attack the Japanese market through different paths, one via an established IP's fandom and one via the Blue Archive development pedigree.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Nexon will exhibit Mabinogi Mobile and Fareidria at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held September 17-21 at Makuhari Messe. The two titles take different routes into the Japanese market: Mabinogi Mobile reinterprets the 20-year-old Mabinogi IP with life content, while Fareidria, led by Blue Archive's Cha Minso PD, applies that game's success formula. Nexon has many new titles planned but chose only these two for the show.
Nexon's TGS 2026 booth will recreate Tir Chonaill, the original Mabinogi's representative village, as a physical space. The move targets nostalgia from Japanese players who have long been familiar with the original. The game passed 100,000 pre-registrations in Japan before the show.
Fareidria, developed by RX Studio under Nexon Games' IO Division, is led by Cha Minso PD, who oversaw Blue Archive's Korea and global service. Set in Anima City, the player manages a recovery center and its office, Twilight Hall, working with Mates who have special abilities. The game uses Unreal Engine 5 and centers on life content and character-driven storytelling.
