Smilegate to Show MIRESI and Dead Account at Tokyo Game Show 2026

Smilegate announced on August 13 that it will exhibit at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21. The company will feature two titles at its booth: 'MIRESI: The Unseen Future' and 'Dead Account: Two Blue Flames.' This marks Smilegate's second consecutive year at TGS, following its first booth appearance at TGS 2025. 'MIRESI' is a collection-type RPG developed by CONTROL9, with Smilegate planning to provide the service. The game has drawn attention for art director Kim Hyun-sop (Hyulla), who has a large fanbase. It has been showcased at events since last year's TGS, including AGF and Anime Expo 2026 in July. This will be its second TGS appearance, with plans to show evolved content since its first reveal. 'Dead Account: Two Blue Flames' is a team roguelite game based on the manga 'Dead Account' by Watanabe Shizuka, serialized since 2023. It features character collection and growth, faithfully reproducing the story of protagonist Enjo Aoshi confronting ghosts and 'ghost accounts' from the SNS accounts of the dead. The game is planned for mobile and STOVE (PC), with pre-registration open. Both titles are recruiting partner creators, with 'Dead Account' starting recruitment on August 14 and a lottery for 30 TGS tickets on X. Smilegate also launched a special website for its TGS 2026 exhibition, with stage programs to be announced later.

MIRESI: The Invisible Future Pre-Registration Begins Ahead of Anime Expo 2026

Smilegate Megaport opened global pre-registration on June 24, 2026, for MIRESI: The Invisible Future, a free-to-play time-travel RPG for iOS, Android, and PC. The game is developed by CONTROL9, a studio founded by key development members of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and Seven Knights 2. The art director is illustrator Hyolra, known for his work on NIKKE. Pre-registration commemorates the game's exhibition at Anime Expo 2026, held in Los Angeles from July 2 to 5. Players can register via the official website, and in-game items will be awarded at launch based on the total number of registrants. The game is set in a world where multiple timelines intersect; players take the role of a Councilor and journey with characters Ende, Tieria, and Itsuka to save a world on the brink of destruction. Combat uses a real-time turn-based system where character positioning and movement affect outcomes. The release date has not been announced. Smilegate director Han Jae-yong said the pre-registration is meant to introduce the game to global users and create closer communication opportunities.
