Dentsu Game Center Shows Text-To-Card Roguelike At Tokyo Game Show 2026
A major advertising firm's in-house team is demonstrating generative AI inside a normal commercial deck-builder, so the live-service running cost per use becomes the practical question, not the novelty of the tech.

At Tokyo Game Show 2026, the 4Gamer booth hosts a playable demo of Verse of Birth, a PC deck-building roguelike from Dentsu's in-house dentsu Game Center. Players type any text string, and Adobe Firefly plus OpenAI's GPT-4o generate a monster card in real time with a name, appearance, stats, and skills. It was prototyped at TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT 2025 and took about a year and a half to complete.
The demo station sits at the 4Gamer booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, a PC game shown under the Japanese reading "Baasu obu Baasu." The booth is dense with stages and demo units this year, which left the 4Gamer writer to approach the game cold, as one of many displays.
Dentsu's in-house team dentsu Game Center produced the project. Its prototype appeared at TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT 2025 in March 2025, and the team finished it about a year and a half later.
Card generation combines Adobe Firefly and OpenAI's GPT-4o. A typed string becomes a "Logos" with HP, attack power, speed, Soul, and skills, and the stat rolls are random.
