Tokyo Game Show 2025: Exploring The Most Popular Booths
October 7, 2025
Tokyo Game Show 2025
Exploring The Most Popular Booths
The Tokyo Game Show 2025 closed its four-day run at Makuhari Messe with over 263,000 visitors. Beyond sheer scale, this year’s show was defined by how major publishers transformed their booths into living brand experiences—a shift from spectacle to strategy.
If you missed our first coverage on booth trends and overall highlights, read it here: Tokyo Game Show 2025: Big Booth Highlights.
Here’s how each Tokyo Game Show popular booth earned the spotlight.
Square Enix
Square Enix’s booth at Hall 3 – S02 was designed as a multi-sensory stage experience rather than a static showcase. Every major title—from Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake to Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy XIV Online—had its own interactive zone, blending physical rewards, fan engagement, and live broadcasts.
Highlights:
- ✔️ Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake: 15-minute demo + limited-edition drink giveaway + life-size Dragonlord photo zone.
- ✔️ Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade: Magic: The Gathering crossover photo wall + collectible card cases.
- ✔️ Final Fantasy XIV Online: Mascot meet-and-greet + social media-linked campaigns (Instagram, KakaoTalk, Bluesky).
- ✔️ Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicle and Octopath Traveler 0: Developer Q&A sessions, voice actor appearances, and live streaming.
Square Enix emphasized hybrid experiences—real-time livestreams, influencer-hosted talks, and on-site giveaways—that deepened both digital and physical participation.
Capcom
Few publishers understood fan psychology as well as Capcom. Its Hall 7 – S02 booth became a magnet for players eager to test next-gen titles hands-on. It hosted full-scale demo zones for Monster Hunter Outlanders, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and Monster Hunter Wilds, playable across PS5, Switch 2, and mobile. Visitors received limited-edition Monster Hunter gear, with additional prizes through the #MHWilds Instagram challenge.
The booth also featured Pragmata and Onimusha: The Path of Blades, with developer Q&A streams and exclusive art exhibitions. Resident Evil Requiem and Survival Unit transformed the space into horror-themed VR environments with survival challenges and live mission events. Street Fighter 6 drew massive crowds for live tournaments and influencer-led battles.
SEGA / ATLUS
SEGA/ATLUS embraced nostalgia and energy at Hall 4 – N06, turning gameplay into performance and fans into part of the show. The booth layout felt like a theme park—part racing circuit, part arcade, part fan stage.
Highlights:
- ✔️ Sonic Racing CrossWorlds: Life-size F1 car + leaderboard challenge with instant prizes.
- ✔️ Virtua Fighter R.E.V.O.: eSports Park collaboration with live influencer commentary.
- ✔️ Persona 3 Reload: AR/VR dungeon experience + café coupon rewards + fan art and merchandise zone.
With the “Fun Time Show” panel, SEGA turned influencers and cosplayers into content hosts, encouraging audience participation and real-time engagement.
Bandai Namco
Located in Hall 6 – N06, Bandai Namco focused on immersive storytelling over size. Four major IPs—Code Vein II, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, Little Nightmares III, and Once Upon a Katamari—each had distinct narrative-driven zones.
From Little Nightmares III’s atmospheric cosplay photo contest to Once Upon a Katamari’s giant playable sculpture, every corner encouraged interaction. The Family Game Park & Tamagotchi Plaza invited families to experience casual and educational titles together, reinforcing inclusivity as part of Bandai’s identity.
Konami
Konami’s expansive booth at Hall 5 – S01 offered over 40 playable titles, from Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater and Silent Hill f to Momotaro Dentetsu 2 and Suikoden Star Leap.
Each major title had its own stage program: Metal Gear Production Hotline with the dev team, Silent Hill Live Commentary with 2BRO., and esports finals for eBASEBALL Power Pros. The space also included VR Idol showcases, live DJ sessions, and the Indie Student Challenge awards ceremony.
Sony Interactive Entertainment
At Hall 4 – S01, Sony presented itself not as a game publisher but as a platform experience curator. The booth emphasized Ghost of Yōtei, MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls, and Astro Bot, each tailored to distinct audiences.
Highlights:
- ✔️ Ghost of Yōtei: 30-minute demo and live developer Q&A.
- ✔️ MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls: Pro-gamer battles + cosplay photo stage + livestreamed stage show.
- ✔️ Astro Bot: Family-focused AR mini-games and stamp tours with collectible figures.
Sony also celebrated PlayStation’s 30th anniversary with a YOASOBI collaboration—Project: Memory Card—featuring limited-edition art and giveaways. PlayStation Plus members enjoyed exclusive pre-booked demos and merchandise kits.
