June 28, 2026 - 10:46

Anime Expo is gearing up for its return to the Los Angeles Convention Centre from July 2 to July 5, and as always, the show floor will be packed with interactive gaming experiences. This year's lineup of game booths promises a mix of major studio reveals, indie darlings, and hands-on demos for highly anticipated titles.

Several publishers are expected to bring playable builds of upcoming JRPGs and action games. Bandai Namco is rumored to showcase a new entry in the "Tales of" series, while Square Enix will likely offer demos for the next "Final Fantasy" remake chapter and a surprise "Dragon Quest" spin-off. Indie developers will also have a strong presence, with curated sections dedicated to visual novels and retro-style platformers.

Arc System Works is expected to host tournaments for "Guilty Gear Strive" and "Dragon Ball FighterZ," giving attendees a chance to compete for prizes. Meanwhile, mobile gaming will not be left out, as several gacha titles plan to reveal exclusive character collaborations and in-game events tied to the convention.

Beyond the demos, many booths will feature photo ops, limited-edition merchandise, and autograph sessions with voice actors from popular game franchises. With the convention running for four full days, attendees should plan their routes early to avoid missing out on limited-time activations. Whether you are there for the latest triple-A blockbuster or a hidden gem, the game booths at Anime Expo 2026 are shaping up to be a major draw.
