Red Dunes Games Brings Nine Titles to TGS2026 to Build Its Japanese Profile
A publisher outside Japan is openly courting Japanese IP holders as a go-between for overseas release, and it is keeping its Acquire work quiet rather than parading a logo at the show.
Reporting from 1 source: GameBusiness.jp.
Abu Dhabi-based developer and publisher Red Dunes Games is exhibiting nine titles at TGS2026, with three stated goals: spreading its titles in Japan, expanding its network with Japanese IP companies, and raising its profile in a market it calls very large. Co-founders Sultan Al Darmaki and Mohamed Al Jneibi say the Acquire partnership remains strong and ongoing.
The company says its relationship with Acquire is still active and that both sides chose not to exhibit together at this show so the team could keep working. Red Dunes describes itself as a catalyst, arguing that many Japanese IPs and ideas still reach overseas audiences insufficiently. It says its focus is games as a whole, not a fixed scale or genre, and that it will work with indie titles as readily as mid-sized consumer games when it sees a route from Japan to the wider market.
