Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. is delighted to announce its lineup of titles that will be exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2026, which will be held from Thursday, September 17.
This year's Tokyo Game Show 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of its inauguration and will be held over five days, making it the longest run in the event's history. Our booth will feature several highly anticipated titles, including the first playable demo of Castlevania: Belmont's Curse and the world’s first playable demo of KONAMI Wai Wai World Craft. In addition, there will be a KONAMI Anniversary to the Future corner, where visitors can check out the worlds of the latest titles and classic franchises celebrating milestones this year, as well as an immersive theater experience for SILENT HILL: Townfall.
■Main Exhibits
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse
Ahead of its October 15 release, this title will be available to play for the first time in Japan, allowing visitors to experience a new story of the Belmont clan of vampire hunters and the exhilarating "whip" action that is synonymous with the series. Visitors who try the demo will receive a tarot card acrylic stand (randomly selected from 6 types). In addition, visitors who follow the official Castlevania X account and repost the pinned post will receive an original shopping bag at the venue.
KONAMI Wai Wai World Craft
This title, making its world premiere as a playable demo, is a UGC platform that allows users to "Create," "Play," and "Connect." At the venue, visitors will get the chance to "Play" around in the demo—one of its most appealing features. Be among the first to play the official games featured in KONAMI Wai Wai World Craft and discover a whole new world of fun. In the official release version, these games can be used as a base to create new games. Visitors who try the demo will receive an original T-shirt, so be sure to come by and experience the fun of being a game creator!
KONAMI Anniversary to the Future
In this corner, visitors can follow the epic journey of their favorite titles that have grown alongside our fans, as well as a glimpse into the future that lies ahead. Starting with the secret code "↑↑↓↓←→←→BA," which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, there will be special exhibits featuring the Castlevania series, the Ganbare Goemon series, the Pawafuru Puroyakyu Success Mode, and the Suikoden series, as well as the brand-new RPG Rev. NOiR and the brand-new action game Rhapsody in Scarlet, where visitors can get a sneak peek at their worlds.
In addition, there will be a keyword rally tie-in to the KONAMI PRESS START show streamed on September 4. Visitors who collect the keywords hidden throughout the corner and complete the secret password will receive an original puffy sticker. One of the keywords is hidden within the show streamed at midnight on Thursday, September 4, so be sure to tune in. Click here for KONAMI PRESS START.
In addition, the KONAMI STYLE TGS STORE will be appearing at the event for the first time in 12 years to sell KONAMI merchandise.

<What Is "↑↑↓↓←→←→BA"?>
"↑↑↓↓←→←→BA" is a widely known secret code that first appeared in the Famicom game Gradius, released on April 25, 1986, and celebrated its 40th anniversary on April 25, 2026. Entering this sequence of button presses powers up the player's ship with nearly its strongest equipment. This long but easy-to-remember hidden code has been included in many KONAMI titles ever since.
