Pocketpair, Inc. is setting up what it calls its biggest-ever booth at TOKYO GAME SHOW 2026. Life-size Pal statues will line the space, and a total of 23 cosplayers will appear. The playable demo stations will feature titles published by the company itself.
Pocketpair announced its exhibit on August 20, 2026. The booth is built around the world of Palworld, with life-size statues of four Pals plus a moving Jetragon statue. Two costumed mascot characters will also appear, alongside venue-only programming such as raid events and a cosplay stage.
The 23 cosplayers will portray characters from three groups. Three will portray Palworld characters including Zoe, two will portray new bosses added in version 1.0, and the rest will portray pirate characters from Windrose, published by Pocketpair Publishing.
The playable stations will feature Pocketpair Publishing titles. As of the announcement, two had been named: Windrose, which reportedly sold more than 2 million units worldwide, and Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse. The rest of the lineup will be revealed gradually on Pocketpair Publishing’s official X account (@PPPublishing_JP).
Pocketpair Publishing’s Truckful has also been selected for SELECTED INDIE 80, an indie game showcase. It will be exhibited separately, at the SELECTED INDIE 80 booth rather than Pocketpair’s own.
A merchandise booth will sell official Palworld items. The specific products and the giveaway items for visitors will be revealed in a second announcement. That second announcement is scheduled for early September and had not been issued as of September 6.
