The 2026 IGG World Championship just finished, and it was a massive event with over $400,000 in rewards given away to those competing.
Hosted by IGG from September 4th to 6th and held at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, it revolved around gamers competing in a trio of titles – Viking Rise, Doomsday: Last Survivors, and Lords Mobile.
The event was supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), underlining the Championship’s international scale and its status as a major international event.
What went on?
There was a lot going on beyond the actual tournaments though. There were stages designed around each title, interactive fan zones, eye-catching cosplayers, and an official theme song made for the event.
A Guinness World Records™ title was also achieved during the event, namely Most contributions to an online calligram art. It was the first record of its kind and showed the level of interactivity the event had with the global player community.
One of the biggest announcements at the IGG World Championship was that Lords Mobile and Doomsday: Last Survivors each revealed plans for an official collaboration with Dune: Part Three, scheduled to launch later this year alongside the film’s theatrical release.
And the results…?
The Viking Rise Championship involved eight top teams, comprising a total of 24 players, competing for the World Championship title, with Team 483 coming out on top, followed by Team SIR and Team S395. Team GOC, Team Life, Team HVS, Team Russ, and Team RiP also put in strong performances.
Next, the Doomsday: Last Survivors Championship saw 32 players competing in Off Limits War, with Team GFF taking home the Champion Award, while Team GALL, Team SSI, and Team TK1 received Excellence Awards.
Finally, the Lords Mobile Championship involved 36 players, with Team Pv3, Team SGR, and Team XIX taking the top three spots.
A huge success
Overall the 2026 IGG World Championship was a massive hit with those at the show and those competing, with a wide range of sponsors showing how much support there was for the event.
