NARUTO CARD GAME at Paris Games Week 2026: free tutorials and CP-001

Bandai now has a page for the NARUTO CARD GAME at Paris Games Week. It is titled Paris Games Week Event Information and dated September 4, 2026. When this page was first written, on September 2, the stop was one line on the roadmap, Paris Games Week 2026 (France / October 22 to 25, 2026), with nothing behind it. That line now has an Event Information link.

The new page lists the participant gift, the giveaway and the merchandise. It leaves the sign-up method for later.

At a glance

The session

The offer is worded as it is at every stop: "Join our Tutorial Session, and learn how to play in a fun, immersive way." Admission is free, and "participation in any of the activities will require entry to Paris Games Week."

How a visitor gets a seat is not on the page. Bandai writes:

Information on how to participate in the Tutorial Sessions will be announced at a later date. Please stay tuned for further updates.

That was still the wording on October 5. The printed conditions are these:

• Demo decks are not available to take home.
• One session per person. "You may only participate in 1 tutorial session throughout Paris Games Week."
• One prize per person, "regardless of the number of tutorial sessions reserved or attended."

There are no session times, no session length and no capacity on the page.

The gift: CP-001, and the condition on it

The Participant Gifts list for Paris has one item, the CP-001 Chakra Card, and one condition:

Only participants registered to the "NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL" on TCG+ and who complete a survey after the Tutorial Session are eligible to receive the above items.

BANDAI TCG+ is Bandai's card game app. The channel is a news subscription: Bandai's page for it says it "is not for event participation at a venue". Logging in to register needs a BANDAI NAMCO ID, and registering is free.

The card carries no version suffix on the Paris page, the same as on the New York Comic Con and PAX Aus pages, and the sample image is the same file on all of them. See the CP-001 guide for the printings.

The sticker does not need a session

The page has a separate Giveaways section with one item, a Logo Sticker: "Follow any of our social media channels from the links below, or register for the 'NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL' on BANDAI TCG+, and receive a free sticker!" Instagram, Facebook and X are the channels linked.

On the New York Comic Con and PAX Aus pages the Logo Sticker is listed twice, as a participant gift and as a giveaway. On the Paris page it is listed once, as the giveaway. The page does not say where at the show the sticker is collected.

The playmat

Under Merchandise sits the NARUTO CARD GAME Official Playmat -Arriving in 2027-, MSRP $35 (+tax), "Limited to one item per person. Available in limited quantities each day." The price is printed in US dollars. The page gives no euro figure.

The purchase rule was published by October 14, 2026: "Participants will be eligible to purchase a playmat on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to daily availability. This eligibility is valid only on the day of their Tutorial Session." Only Tutorial Session participants are eligible.

Registration and booth, as published October 14

"Registration will take place over an online shop, and the registration page can be accessed via the button below. Tutorial Sessions will open for registration on a first-come, first-served basis at 06:00 PM CET on Wednesday, October 14." One event per player; attempts to circumvent the limit mean exclusion from all demo events. The booth is N° E8.

Still unannounced

• Session times, length and capacity.
• A price in euros for the playmat.
• The language of the sessions. The page does not say.

Bandai's homepage schedule still labels October 22 to 25 "Tutorial Sessions planned", and the event page ends with the notice that "the contents of the activities may change without notice."

The show itself

Everything in this section comes from Paris Games Week's own site.

A heading on the site reads "IN 2026, PGW RETURNS FOR ITS 15TH EDITION", and the site calls the show "France's unmissable video game event". That is the thing to plan around: this is a video game show, not a board game fair, and Bandai's page describes a card game tutorial inside it without saying which part of the show it occupies.

Ticket sales opened on 18 June. The site lists a 1 day dated ticket and a 2 day Open ticket, the second still labelled Early Bird when we read it on October 5, along with evening events and a business ticket. The pages we fetched do not print prices. They do not name the organiser either: GL events appears among the partner logos and Rivaj Group is named as the processor for newsletter mail, neither of which is a statement of who runs the event.

Where this sits

Paris Games Week and SPIEL Essen run on the same four days, October 22 to 25, and Bandai has a page for each. Lucca Comics & Games follows from October 28 to November 1. The three pages are set side by side in our write-up of the European stops.

Before them come New York Comic Con, October 8 to 11, and PAX Aus, October 9 to 11. After them the next European date on our calendar is BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27 in London, January 15 to 17, 2027, ahead of the June 2027 worldwide release.

The events page carries the full calendar, rules covers what is known about play, and the pre-orders guide explains why the June 2027 products still have no price.
