The Shadowverse series celebrated its 10th anniversary with Shadowverse Fes 2026, a two-day festival at Makuhari Messe that was the first large-scale solo event for the franchise in about eight years.
Cygames held Shadowverse Fes 2026 at Makuhari Messe on June 20-21, marking the first large-scale solo festival for the series in about eight years. The event celebrated the 10th anniversary of the online trading card game and the first anniversary of its next-generation title, Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond. It featured a main stage, battle areas for three Shadowverse titles, mini-games, cosplayers, a gallery of series history, setting material exhibits, an orchestra concert, a live broadcast, final auditions for the Shadowverse Premier Series, exclusive goods and food sales, and a lottery for original goods.
Around the same time, Denfaminicogamer published a roundtable interview with four community figures who have been with Shadowverse since its 2016 launch: Kazuki Tomoda, Myako, Surre, and Apollo. They discussed early meta memories, the Wonderland Dreams era, the rise of competitive play, and personal stories such as a 4 million yen prize that parents initially thought was a scam. The interview was held at Cygames' office.
The festival and the roundtable together show Cygames treating the 10th anniversary as a major franchise milestone, drawing on both the competitive and community sides of the series. The event's scale and variety of attractions, from themed exhibits to competitive stages, reflect the breadth of the Shadowverse community after a decade of operation.
