Synthesized from 30 Yomimono stories · updated 2d ago

Project Sekai's sixth anniversary is running as a campaign across the game, YouTube, and physical locations in Japan. Sega and Colorful Palette opened the event "Side by Side, Our Ways!" and the "[6th Anniversary] Bloom Festival Gacha Dream Pick" on September 30, 2026, with the gacha setting the 4-star provision rate at 6 percent, double the usual 3 percent.

The game also posts full-size music videos on its YouTube channel, including solo 2D MVs for four characters between September 5 and 8 and full-size 2DMVs for "Seikai" and "Heredity."

The sixth SekaLive concert runs at World Memorial Hall in Hyogo on December 27, 2026 and at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa on February 28, 2027.
