The second major amusement industry trade show of September is nearly here, as the main event of IAAPA Expo Europe 2026 gets underway from tomorrow at the Excel center in London, England. We will have coverage of the show once it is over and done with, but before then, here is our preview of all the noteworthy arcade companies who are attending. This can also be used as a mini guide of sorts for anyone going there with a focus on arcade games. Chances are that many of them will have redemption too, if that is also in your wheelhouse.<\/p>\n

Also for those interested, I am doing a live preview of this for the weekly Arcade Update on YouTube<\/a>, so head over there to check that out if you want to chat\u2026<\/p>\n

IAAPA Expo Europe 2026 \u2013\u00a0 Advertisers<\/h2>\n

As is tradition, before getting into the main bulk of the exhibitors we shall start off with our current Arcade Heroes advertisers and sponsors at the time of writing this. If you read our work, are from a company and are interested in joining them, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Note that Raw Thrills are represented in Europe by Bandai Namco Amusement Europe, so that is where you will find their games. Stranger Things Arcade<\/em> will make it\u2019s European debut at the show, while products from other companies will be on hand there, per usual. Find BNAE right below this section. We\u2019ve not heard of any indications that something new-new from Raw will be there, although a show surprise is not outside the realms of possibility, as such things have been done before (they just aren\u2019t as common with RT as they used to be).<\/p>\n

TouchMagix<\/h3>\n

Booth S3011. TouchMagix are continuing their push into more traditional ticket redemption, as they are going to unveil their second carnival piece, Knock \u2018A\u2019 Duck<\/em>. That will be there alongside the first, Pickleball Toss, and presumably one or two other games as well. Read a press release about Knock \u2018A\u2019 Duck<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wahlap<\/h3>\n

Booth S3303. Wahlap began attending IAAPA Expo Europe in their own right just last year, and they return here with a smaller booth than the one we just saw at GTI Asia China, with the two Asphalt games, Phantom Vanguard<\/em>, Miraculous<\/em>, and Nerves of Ale<\/em><\/a> (an odd looking \u2018irritating stick\u2019-type piece for bars). Other games of theirs can also be found at distributor booths, as we will get onto in a moment.<\/p>\n

Ace Amusement<\/h3>\n

Booth S2003. Among many other Chinese companies, Ace will also be attending IAAPA Expo Europe, but what they will have is unknown as of right now. However, it is fairly likely they will have at least one or two of the new games they showed off at GTI Asia China just the other week, and UK distributors UDC will also have some of their product (though specifically which is also unknown).<\/p>\n
