Cygames held Shadowverse Fes 2026 at Makuhari Messe on June 20-21, celebrating the online trading card game's 10th anniversary. The event featured attractions, setting material exhibits, an orchestra concert, a live broadcast, final auditions for the Shadowverse Premier Series, battle areas for three Shadowverse titles, exclusive goods and food sales, and cosplay photo sessions.
The two-day event at Makuhari Messe offered eight free attractions tied to Shadowverse characters, including a dart challenge called Kuru's Kuru Kuru Challenge and a balance game named Endure to the Limit! Azura Fleet's Balance Game. Each attraction guaranteed a prize, with failure yielding a random Aurora Sticker from 16 designs.
Stage programming included an orchestra concert, a live edition of the Shadobasu Channel Beyond broadcast, and the final audition round for the Shadowverse Premier Series. Battle areas were set up for Shadowverse, Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond, and the physical card game Shadowverse EVOLVE. Festival-exclusive merchandise and collaboration food were sold on-site, and cosplayers had dedicated photo session spaces.
