Features of each world

The world design and the booth design will mutually enhance and improve each other.

The theme of Vket2022 Winter is "NEXT Journey". Centering around the key concept of "journey", we have put in place 6 concepts with 2 worlds each for PC worlds, producing 12 worlds in total. In addition to the renovated VketPlaza - Express Mode - and freshly designed experience of "calling the space" in Cosmotravel Elevator, we will have a manor of curiosity at Madam Colt’s Wunderkammer, advanced sci-fi world of Tetherford, a summer world in the Southern Hemisphere at Luluana Resort, and Sweet×2 Tea Party filled with confectioneries, providing a wide choice of concept worlds with in-depth world settings.

Furthermore, we will have 3 kinds of in total 6 worlds (2 worlds for each kind) as Meta Quest-compatible worlds by recalling some concepts from Vket 2021: Valhalla of Iron Ravens: Rock Bottom, Petalchime Capital Aulschnelule, and Snowman's Toy Factory - Toy Toy Factory. The worlds can be enjoyed by Quest users, too!

In the Vket Cloud venue, visitors will be able to enjoy the revived Snowman's Toy Factory - Avatar Carousel from smartphone browsers. You can easily exhibit avatars and assets in VRM format.

The differences in the rules are as follows. For details, please refer to the Submission Rule of each.
