The Dragon Quest VR Ride is open as part of the 40th anniversary exhibition in Harajuku, using Meta Quest 3 headsets for groups of up to 16 to ride a killer panther in a 360-degree adventure.
In June 2026, Tohokushinsha Film and Square Enix announced the Dragon Quest 40th Anniversary Exhibition "Dragon Quest the DIVE -To the Stage of an Unseen Adventure-" with a VR ride as its centerpiece. The exhibition was set to include two other contents and original merchandise.
A month later, a press preview gave the first detailed look at the ride. Participants mount a killer panther for a 360-degree adventure. The setup uses Meta Quest 3 headsets, a pre-show briefing, and runs groups of up to 16 people at once. The ride is held in Harajuku.
The two stories together confirm the ride's concept, hardware, and scale. No further changes or expansions have been reported since the preview.
