LINE GAME makes its first-ever appearance at TOKYO GAME SHOW 2026 (TGS2026), running from Thursday, September 17 to Monday, September 21, 2026 (national holiday), at Makuhari Messe. Under the concept "CONNECT & PLAY 'LINE GAME' CENTER," the booth brings the excitement of an arcade to life, offering a hands-on space where families and friends can enjoy a variety of games and content together.

CONNECT & PLAY "LINE GAME" CENTER

CONNECT & PLAY

LINE GAME is a platform where LINE connects people with each other and with games, growing the energy of play. Beyond playing solo, it broadens how people enjoy games by letting them talk, compete, and share with family and friends, including on social media.

At TGS2026, the booth follows the "CONNECT & PLAY 'LINE GAME' CENTER" concept, styled after an arcade for a hands-on experience. To mark the newly confirmed game adaptation of Emoji no ko (Tentative), the character familiar from LINE chats, the booth includes a photo spot themed around its world, hands-on demos of LINE Maji Maji, and game experiences built around LINE Mini App, which lets visitors enjoy a variety of services without downloading anything. At the LINE Mini App corner, visitors can actually play several games, and on the business days the booth will also show game companies how LINE Mini App can be used to deploy games. Further plans include the "LINE GAME CENTER BIG Kuji" lottery offering limited-edition merchandise from LINE GAME titles such as Emoji no ko (Tentative), LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum, and LINE Poko Poko, along with stage content featuring special guests. Details on each piece of content will be announced at a later date.
