Aichi Nagoya Asian Games adds Identity V, ditches Street Fighter 6, Dreams of Three Kingdoms

The 2026 Aichi Nagoya Asian Games will feature 11 esports titles, including updates from the initial list announced on February 6.

During a meeting of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) Executive Board in Harbin, China, Street Fighter 6 and Dreams of Three Kingdoms were originally approved but have since been replaced by Identity V: Asian Games Version and Competitive Martial Arts (Team Competition), respectively.

The new list includes popular games like League of Legends-Asian Games Version, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), Honor of Kings, Pokemon UNITE, Naraka: Bladepoint, PUBG, Gran Turismo 7, eFootball Series, Puyo Puyo Champions, and the newly added Identity V.

The Philippine Esports Organization's Executive Director Marlon Marcelo expressed optimism about the country's preparedness for the event.

Philippine esports team Sibol participated in six events during the 2023 Asian Games but only advanced to the playoffs in Dreams of Three Kingdoms, finishing fifth.
