Shueisha has announced this year’s installment of the Jump Festa fan event and after last year’s virtual event which was held exclusively through the Jump Festa smartphone app with livestreams held on YouTube and through the event website, this year’s installment will see the return of the in-person event alongside a companion virtual event through the same app.
The Jump Festa app will be updated with a new iteration of the virtual island called JanFes Island, where app users will take control of an avatar to visit various virtual exhibits and installations.
In-person tickets will go on sale starting on November 15th for the in-person even being held at the Makuhari Messe, while the Jump Festa merchandise store will open for attendee browsing on November 19th, with Jump Festa merchandise orders being accepted from December 19th. In-person events and recorded segments will also be streamed via the official Jump YouTube channel and the Jump Festa NAVI app and website along with the Jump Festa app for attendees.
