Indonesian Gamers Flock to SEGA Atlus Festival 2026 to Play and Shop

Thousands of gamers from Indonesia gathered at the SEGA Atlus Festival 2026, which was held at Mall of Indonesia, Jakarta, on February 7-8, 2026. It is an event to showcase various games released by SEGA and its division Atlus, both existing and upcoming.

Gamers can expect popular titles from franchises such as Sonic, Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Persona, and many others. They can try the demo of these games, as well as shop for merchandise and participate in community events and games.

The enthusiasm of fans is massive. The queue for the merchandise shop needs to be divided into various segments. Visitors reported that they have to stand in line for hours; some even came to the mall hours before it opened.

SEGA Atlus Festival 2026 shows that there is a legitimate demand for official events from prominent video game publishers in Indonesia. It sets a positive precedent for other game publishers to hold their own event and reach their fanbases directly.
