What this is
A massive offline fan gathering marks the 8th anniversary of Identity V — NetEase's gothic asymmetric horror mobile game — with the theatrical twist of a 'Ghost Wedding' party theme blending in-game lore with real-world celebration. Held over three days at Chiba JPF Dome, the event doubles as the competitive finale for the 2026 Summer IJL (Identity V Japan League) season, making it simultaneously a fan festival and a high-stakes esports championship. Cosplay is explicitly welcomed, and attendees can expect merchandise, purchase bonuses, and numbered entry tickets alongside the main programme.
Who should go
Identity V players and fans, especially those who follow the IJL competitive scene or want to experience a Japanese mobile game anniversary event in person. Cosplayers familiar with the game's roster will find this a rare chance to dress up in a sanctioned, themed environment.
Good to know
Tickets are sold via eplus.jp, which accepts foreign credit cards; Smart Ticket electronic tickets are used, so no physical pickup is needed — just have your ticket on your phone. For two-person applications, the companion must be registered in advance before the ticket is issued, so coordinate with your group early. The lottery pre-order period runs June 25–July 6, with general sale from July 15 — lottery applicants get priority access. Chiba JPF Dome is a large indoor arena venue, so expect significant crowds; arriving early is advisable to clear entry queues and browse merchandise before the main programme begins. Merchandise and purchase benefits will be announced separately, so check the official Identity V social channels closer to the event date.
