HIKKY Co., Ltd. is excited to announce "Virtual Market 2025 Summer," the 14th edition of the world's largest metaverse event, from July 12 to July 27, 2025. The real event "VketReal 2025 Summer" will also take place at Bellesalle Akihabara.

The world's largest* metaverse event where visitors can buy and sell 3D items such as avatars and real goods such as clothes, food, and drink at a venue in the metaverse, this pioneering metaverse event has been held since 2018 and boasts more than 1.2 million visitors from around the world, earning four Guinness World Records™. In addition to the buying and selling of products, the event also offers immersive “experiences” unique to the Metaverse, such as riding rides, receiving customer service, and participating in live music performances. Visitors can communicate with each other via voice in the venue and enjoy a realistic feeling as if they were touring the city together in the real world.

The virtual market started as a place for creators to buy and sell 3D data products among individuals, but in recent years, various companies and organizations have been entering the market as a new promotion and marketing venue utilizing the metaverse, and the number of general creators

The 2025 Virtual Market theme is "Keys and Doors". We will offer content all year long centered around "finding keys and unlocking doors to new opportunities and futures," keeping you energized about what lies ahead while staying connected with Vket.

The window for general exhibitors to apply will run from Monday, April 7 to Monday, April 21. Winners will be revealed on Monday, April 28, and the submission timeframe is set from Friday, May 23rd to Wednesday, June 18th. Specifics for each concept world will be shared in early April. We eagerly await submissions from numerous creators!

More information will be released from Vket's GT accounts as it becomes available. Please note that the schedule is subject to change.The second lottery will be announced separately.

This year's event will feature two venues for corporate exhibitors: “Parareal Hawaii” and “Parareal Tokyo”. This is the first time that a venue based on the motif of Hawaii has appeared in Vket, and the first time that a venue based on the motif of Tokyo has appeared in Vket since the “Parareal Tokyo” exhibition at Virtual Market 4 in 2020. The venue will not only faithfully reproduce the real city, but will also create a unique space filled with fun and dreams that can only be expressed in the metaverse. The Parareal Tokyo venue will have features that bring a sense of nostalgia, while those who are unfamiliar with what that might be, they will still be able to enjoy the fun and excitement that only Vket can provide.

VketReal 2025 Summer,” the fifth event in the series of VketReal, a real event born from the virtual market, will be held at Bellesalle Akihabara. Please stay tuned for more information on the event's contents, date and time, etc. VketReal Official X will also provide information as it becomes available.
