thatgamecompany is holding a limited-time pop-up event for Sky: Children of the Light from August 4 to 11, 2026, at the former Sanzenri site in Shibuya, Tokyo. The event commemorates the start of distribution of the interactive experience Dear Van Gogh within Sky. Visitors can experience the world of the interactive experience, which explores the life and works of Vincent van Gogh, through exhibits and spatial design.
The first floor of the venue is open to anyone without a reservation and features the event's key visual, large monitors, and frame displays inspired by van Gogh's works, with lighting that shifts between day and night to express the game's world. Its location facing Shibuya Scramble Crossing drew many people stopping to take photos and videos on the morning of August 4.
The basement floor holds an experiential space of a wheat field inspired by van Gogh's works, combining three-dimensional decorations, walls depicting the sky, and character panels of the Star Child and van Gogh. The space uses real wheat and offers a scent experience, but requires advance reservations to manage congestion. Visitors can reach the reservation page from the event announcement page on the official website.
