Event Contents

About Virtual Market Globalization

• While the Virtual Market has originated in Japan, nowadays about half of the visitors are from outside of Japan.
• Vket organizers have established the Global Team for international support and Localization Team for translation and facilitation of communication for overseas visitors.
• We are working on the website, submission tools, support article, and user support to be English-friendly.
• To all exhibitors: If you cover both Japanese and English, you will be able to reach most of the visitors to Vket, enabling them to understand your exhibit descriptions and terms.
• For this reason, we strongly recommend including both English and Japanese for the text and products in the space.
• Vket Staff will support the exhibitors to reach a broader audience by providing official Prefabs for a language switch and setting up a Discord channel for exhibitors' mutual assistance (English ⇔ Japanese).

Features of each world

The world design and the booth design will mutually enhance and improve each other.

This time, we have put in place 6 concepts with 2 worlds each for PC worlds, producing 12 worlds in total. In addition to the revival world of the original Virtual Market "Virtual Market Classic" and redesigned "Poppin' Jump" from Vket2021, we will have "VketPlaza -CyberMode-", "
Casca-Acqua Falls", "Kowloon Empire Ichiban Boulevard" and "Granvale Academy of Sorcerers", providing a wide choice of concept worlds with in-depth world settings.

Furthermore, we will have 3 kinds of in total 6 worlds (2 worlds for each kind), "Kuja Market", "Almerea: The Town of New Beginnings" and Vket Academy “Electro-charged School Festival!”, as Meta Quest-compatible worlds. The worlds can be enjoyed by Quest users, too!

The differences in the rules are as follows. For details, please refer to the Submission Rules of each.

You may exhibit in one of the following exhibition worlds.
