Defios' Exciting Lineup for Tokyo Game Show 2026
Defios, a video game developer based in Takizawa, Iwate, has announced its participation in the highly anticipated
Tokyo Game Show 2026. Scheduled for September 17-21, 2026, at Makuhari Messe, the company will debut two innovative titles that incorporate generative AI to enhance the gaming experience.
Featured Games
1. Do I Know You?
Set in a suspenseful world where
'Imitators' can mimic humans, players will take on the role of a building manager, responsible for monitoring visitors. Your task is to discern suspicious behavior through interactions, turning ordinary conversations into high-stake situations.
In this horror-themed word-finding game, players must utilize various communication channels like TV and telephone to piece together information. The
'Imitators' retain memories from the humans they mimic but are never perfect. Your sharp eye will be crucial in detecting their slight inconsistencies.
- Spot the differences as you interact with visitors.
- Make critical decisions that can determine the fate of the building's residents: do you let them in or take a more drastic approach?
Attendees who participate in a demo play will be rewarded with an exclusive sticker for
'Do I Know You?'—hurry, as supplies are limited!
2. Muscle Kingdom
In another imaginative title,
'Muscle Kingdom' takes players into a vibrant world inhabited by mysterious creatures known as
'Macho.' As a trainer, you will nurture these beings to become the strongest competitors in a bodybuilding contest.
- Develop six muscle stats (chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs, abs) to amplify your creature’s strength.
- Explore the
'Macho Forest' to scout wild creatures and recruit them for your team. Stronger foes lie deeper within the woods, waiting to be discovered.
- Engage in tournament modes to compete against other trainers, relying on unique chants that the AI will evaluate for an energetic gaming experience.
Please note that screenshots from
'Muscle Kingdom' are from the current development stage, with more updates set to be unveiled leading up to the event.
