Starting with the comeback of "Fallen Eden" from Virtual Market 2023 Winter, enter the "Groove Ground Graff City" filled with vivid arts and beats. Wander in the "Bewitched Forest Noctorl" where all is like a mystical dream, visit the "Komorisaki Village" where its twice-a-year festival "Komori-Matsuri" is taking place.
Take a glimpse in the fashion mall "Alter Vista", where you can explore the true you -as an avatar- can be found! See the "Imperial Scorchclad Gorivagg", an empire of magma and minerals where many fearless species work and craft. Revisit the "Kowloon Empire" from Virtual Market 2022 Summer, where the "Hachiban Ward" located deeper than "Ichiban Boulevard" has darker rumors...
As Cross-Platform compatible worlds, the magnificent "Hotel Gajou-en" from Virtual Market 2023 is back, added with the magical oasis "Aquedust Capital Avidaar" and a dystopia regrowing in"WorldEnd:Utopia - Regrowth", which in total sums up to 3 concepts and 6 venue worlds.
In addition, VketMall from Virtual Market 6 and Virtual Market 2023 Winter is here with new shops!
The casual fashion "VketMall: Open Closet" and cyber punk "VketMall: Philip's Sheep" will be open during the event, which these 2 concept worlds will be open to Cross-Platform users as well!
The differences in the rules are as follows. For details, please refer to the Submission Rules of each.
