GENDA GiGO Entertainment presents Card Game Festival 2026|Event Overview

To everyone who attended 「GENDA GiGO Entertainment presents Card Game Festival 2026」.

Thank you very much for coming to 「GENDA GiGO Entertainment presents Card Game Festival 2026」.

Since 2024, we have aimed to be a 「Festival of Analog Games」, welcoming exhibits from many manufacturers. This year, we were able to host booth exhibitions from 19 manufacturers, approximately twice the number from last year.
A diverse range of guests participated, and the number of visitors also exceeded last year's.

We will continue striving to make this event an even more open platform.

This year, 「Weiß Schwarz」, which was planned at the same time as Bushiroad's founding and released the following year, reached its 18th anniversary, and 「Cardfight!! Vanguard」 celebrated a major milestone with its 15th anniversary.
Because 「Weiß Schwarz」 is a title featuring a wide variety of participating works, we faced the challenge of balancing the game so that any work could be enjoyed.
Since 「Vanguard」 is an original TCG title, we faced difficulties such as the challenge of keeping the series going for a long time, including its anime.
Even so, we have been able to make it this far entirely thanks to the support of our fans. Once again, we would like to express our deepest gratitude.

「Palworld Official Card Game」, scheduled to be released this July, held an advance trial session at this Card Game Festival and attracted the interest of many attendees.
「Palworld Official Card Game」 is scheduled for a simultaneous release in Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese editions.
Including other existing titles, Bushiroad will put even greater effort into our global expansion, extending beyond Japan.

Regarding overseas events, in addition to the 「Card Game Festival」 in Singapore that started last year, this year the event will be held in 3 countries with the addition of South Korea.
With the pride of being the world's number one company in terms of the number of TCG titles we operate, we will continue to deliver developments that bring joy to our fans.

Furthermore, next year's 「Card Game Festival」 in Japan will be held over 3 days for the first time.
We are planning to hold events for each of the TCG titles Bushiroad has produced to date, including older titles that have already ended their service.
Please look forward to the scaled-up 「Card Game Festival 2027」 next year.

Once again, thank you very much to the truly large number of guests who came to the event.
We kindly ask for your continued support for our card games.
