Look, let's be honest, HoYoverse is bringing its crown jewels together for another massive gathering, as the company has officially confirmed the dates for HoYoLAND 2026.

HoYoverse announced the grand offline fan festival 'HoYoLAND 2026' on the 28th, laying out the blueprint through its stable of games. This event aims to drag those distinct virtual universes straight into reality, strengthening the bond with players and offering a proper marketplace for pure fandom culture to thrive.

HoYoLAND 2026 is scheduled to run for four days from October 2 to October 5 at Halls 7 and 8 of Exhibition Hall 2 and the outdoor rear plaza at KINTEX in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. Zenless Zone Zero is stepping up with 'Poetry Settled Beyond the Clouds', letting visitors become a transfer student in New Eridu for a day, while Genshin Impact brings 'Serenade Whispered to the Moonlight', a theme gifting attendees a day bathed in gentle moonlight as its core title.

The event will also carve out a dedicated exhibition zone to showcase fan creations. Aspiring contributors must submit their rule-abiding works through the official application portal, with recruitment running until 23:59 on September 13. Final selections will be individually communicated only to the chosen ones on September 15. Alongside this, a free invitation ticket giveaway will run concurrently throughout the exact same application window.

Meanwhile, HoYoverse made it crystal clear that any creative submissions violating secondary creation guidelines or clashing with the event's spirit will be booted from the exhibition. Detailed schedules and extra program info for each title will roll out sequentially down the road.
