What poncle Is Doing With Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton, first revealed during a Nintendo Direct in June, turns Gege Akutami's cursed-spirit universe into what Shueisha Games calls a "Survivors Royale." Players take on the role of Jujutsu Kaisen characters and battle through cursed spirits while competing against rival players. Online matches support up to eight people, and there is a solo mode for anyone who would rather survive alone.

The developer is poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors, so the "Survivors" half of that genre label comes with a pedigree. According to Japanese anime news site Anime Anime, the build at Tokyo Game Show 2026 will be the first playable version of the game shown anywhere in the world.

The game is headed to Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam in 2026. The official spec sheet lists ten supported languages, including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. Rating and price are still undecided.

UN:Me Makes Its Japan Debut

The other half of the booth belongs to UN:Me, a single-player game from historia (the studio behind Square Enix's 2022 HD-2D remake of Live A Live), with planning and scenario work by Takuya Yamanaka (山中拓也). Shueisha Games files it under the genre label "Soul Triage Adventure."

Set in a world described as beautiful but unsettling, UN:Me follows a girl who carries four souls inside her. Through conversations with each of them, the player flees her trauma while searching for the body's true owner. The souls have lost their memories, every one of them insists it is the real one, and the player has to decide which soul gets to stay.

UN:Me is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam in 2026 with an IARC 12+ rating and language support for Japanese, English, and Chinese (traditional and simplified). The TGS build will be the first demo playable in Japan.

When and Where to Find the Booth

Tokyo Game Show 2026 runs September 17 to 21 at the Makuhari Messe convention center outside Tokyo, spanning exhibition halls 1 through 11 and the international conference hall, plus TKP Tokyo Bay Makuhari Hall. September 17 and 18 are business days, open 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Public days follow on September 19 and 20 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and September 21 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Shueisha Games is also planning a giveaway of original items for visitors who clear certain conditions at the booth. The company says details will be posted on its official site.

Looking Ahead

Both games are dated only "2026" for now, with no narrower window announced. The show at Makuhari Messe is the next concrete date on the calendar for either title.

International players aren't left out, though. Both games already have live Steam pages, and both spec sheets confirm English language support, with Rumble: Survivaton localized into ten languages at launch. For anyone not making the trip to Chiba, the announcement trailer for Rumble: Survivaton is up now on PlayStation Japan's YouTube channel, and any release-date news out of TGS will be the thing to watch for in September.
