VketReal 2026 Summer ran July 25-26 at Bellesalle Akihabara with a numbered ticket system, revamped avatar check registration, and a real-time message board linking VRChat and the venue. The accompanying Akihabara walking event doubled its participating stores to 29.
VketReal 2026 Summer took place July 25-26 at Bellesalle Akihabara, introducing a numbered ticket system and revamped avatar check registration to address crowding complaints from the previous year. The event added a real-time message board connecting VRChat users with the physical venue, and welcomed first-time exhibitors including NuNuPC and Ichikara.
Before the main event, HIKKY announced the Akihabara walking event, a town-wide collaboration called Town-wide JOIN Operation! that doubled participating stores and projects to 29, roughly double the prior event. The roster included restaurants, karaoke, body care, live houses, and shisha bars, offering limited menus, novelties, and benefits, plus a stamp rally.
Together, the two stories show VketReal expanding its real-world footprint beyond the virtual venue into a town-wide experience, while the new ticketing and registration systems appear to have resolved the main pain points from last year's heat and crowding.
