In conjunction with Dragon Ball‘s ongoing 40th anniversary celebration, a special “Genkidamatsuri” (ゲンキダマツリ) event — a portmanteau and play on Goku’s Genki-Dama attack and the Japanese word for “festival” — will be held 25 January 2026 at the Makuhari Messe convention center outside of Tokyo, Japan.

The event is a follow-up to last year’s “Daimatsuri” event, held back in October 2024 to kick off the 40th anniversary celebration.

This year’s event will showcase Dragon Ball console and mobile video games, card games, figures, toys, snacks, and more. Voice actress Masako Nozawa and Capsule Corporation Tokyo founder and franchise producer Akio Iyoku will be on hand for a two-part “super announcement” regarding “new developments” for the franchise, while singer Hironobu Kageyama will perform live.

The official Dragon Ball video games Twitter account went even further to specifically state:

A new Dragon Ball game project will be unveiled this January during the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event in Japan!

The event will be free to attend, but limited to those invited after completing the corresponding application on the official event website. Lottery periods for these applications will be open first between October 17th and November 3rd, and then again November 7th and November 30th.
