Exhibiting New RPGs Like Shangri-La Frontier and Solo Leveling! Tokyo Game Show 2026 Netmarble Report

Tokyo Game Show 2026 is currently being held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture from September 17 to 20 (with the September 21 session canceled). As one of the world's premier gaming events, 1,138 game developers and related companies from 53 countries and regions are exhibiting. A total of 53,630 visitors attended on the first day, September 17, followed by 52,545 on the second day, September 18.

Exhibitor booths were bustling with fans enjoying new game showcases, playable demos, attractions, and novelty giveaways. In this article, we report on the Netmarble booth—one of those featured exhibitors—along with photos of the cosplayers and booth companions who brought the space to life.

Netmarble showcased three new RPG titles: Shangri-La Frontier: Seven Colossi, Solo Leveling: KARMA, and Pearl in Blue. Playable demo versions were available for all three, allowing visitors to experience the early storyline and gameplay feel.

Alongside booth designs tailored to each world's lore and animated PVs, cosplayers portraying characters such as Emul (Human Form) from Shangri-La Frontier and Cha Hae-In from Solo Leveling are a must-see.

All three titles are mobile-exclusive RPGs, but each offers distinct highlights: Shangri-La Frontier features deep strategic gameplay through combinations of characters familiar from the original work, while Solo Leveling boasts exhilarating action and deep customization options that let players construct their own combat style.

And the completely original title Pearl in Blue is a bishoujo romantic comedy RPG whose main draw is a story and visual presentation that feels just like watching an anime.
