SEGA has confirmed what you can expect from its presence at gamescom 2026, inviting you to play the “biggest” games from its upcoming line-up.
From Wednesday 26 – Sunday 30 August 2026, you can head to Hall 7 in Cologne’s Koelnmesse to participate in hands-on opportunities, photo opportunities, on-stand challenges and merch giveaways.
There will be five playable games at SEGA’s booth, which will include:
- Alien: Isolation 2: Making its public hands-on debut in Europe, the stand’s claustrophobic lo-fi sci-fi setting enhances the atmosphere of Alien: Isolation 2’s playable prologue.
- Crazy Taxi: World Tour: Capturing the chaotic energy of previous games in the franchise, players will be among the first to race through a brand-new map (one of five cities featured in the final game) in this all-new globetrotting Crazy Taxi adventure. Fans will also get the chance to pose with the iconic taxi from the games, the Yellow Jack.
- Stranger Than Heaven: For the first public hands-on, players will step back in time to an underground jazz club to get their hands on Stranger Than Heaven, with a stage-based photo opportunity turning them into part of the show.
- Persona 4 Revival: Persona fans will recognise the Junes shopping centre where Western fans will get their chance to play the remake of the RPG classic and submit their messages to the live on-stand TV Stack.
- Total War: Warhammer 40,000: Making its hands-on debut, players will take command of the Emperor’s finest, the Space Marines across three gameplay scenarios, all set within a booth inspired by the war-torn setting.
Those who visit the booth will receive a physical SEGA passport that can be used “to collect stamps from each of the five themed game worlds,” with a limited edition collectible SEGA token to be gifted to attendees who collect all five.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio legends Hiroyuki Sakamoto (Stranger Than Heaven producer) and Mikinobu Abe (Stranger Than Heaven director) will be present for fan signing sessions, whereas a separate free play area will feature:
- The award-winning Metaphor: ReFantazio will be playable on Nintendo Switch 2.
- The cataclysmic Lords of the End Times DLC for Creative Assembly’s strategy behemoth Total War: WARHAMMER III.
- The latest updates for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, including the recently released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pack. A new Season Pass Two was also announced earlier this summer.
- Co-op fun with SONIC PICO PARK playable at the show.
