Bandai Namco Booth Report: Dragon Quest VII & More at Taipei Game Show 2026

The Taipei Game Show 2026 recently showcased a significant presence from Bandai Namco, highlighting upcoming game releases and popular merchandise. The booth featured a diverse range of offerings, from highly anticipated titles like Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and My Hero Academia All’s Justice to popular collectibles from BANDAI SPIRITS.

New Releases Take Center Stage

A central attraction at the Bandai Namco booth was the upcoming release of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, scheduled for February 5, 2026. A prominent panel displayed the game’s characters – the protagonist, Maribel, Kiefer, Gabo, and their wolf companion – alongside a massive Giganto Dragon. The visual contrast emphasized the scale of the challenge awaiting players.

A Publishing Partnership

Interestingly, the booth also featured Dragon Quest VII Reimagined despite being a Square Enix title. This is due to “Bandai Namco Entertainment” handling the publishing responsibilities for the game.

Next-Generation Gaming and Fan Experiences

Attendees had the opportunity to experience gameplay of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined firsthand, with demo stations available. Bandai Namco also showcased My Hero Academia All’s Justice, also slated for release on February 5, 2026. The booth wasn’t limited to video games; BANDAI SPIRITS’ “一番くじ” (Ichiban Kuji) lottery was also a popular draw, with collectible figures on display.
