FORUM8 Announces FORUM8 Rally Japan Metaverse 2026!

Forum8 (Headquarters: 2-15-1 Konan, Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Yuji Ito; URL: https://www.forum8.co.jp) is pleased to announce the implementation of the "FORUM8 Rally Japan Metaverse 2026" project during the WRC FORUM8 Rally Japan (held in Aichi and Gifu Prefectures from May 28 to 31, 2026), where the company serves as the title sponsor.

This metaverse project has been conducted annually at the WRC FORUM8 Rally Japan since 2024. This year, the company will introduce new content: a "Digital 3D Stamp Rally" and a "Rally Game Challenge."

Digital 3D Stamp Rally By linking the metaverse with NFTs, users can collect digital stamps by visiting various spots, such as Rally University content, stadiums, and shops/sponsor booths in the service park. Completing the collection will complete a personalized miniature garden within the metaverse. Furthermore, by presenting the completion screen at the Forum8 booth during the period, visitors can try a gacha game to win original rally merchandise.

Rally Game Challenge The "Rally Game Challenge," themed around mechanics, allows users to experience the incredible speed and accuracy of WRC mechanics in the metaverse. Players can take on the role of a mechanic in a trouble-shooter game, aiming to clear missions such as tire changes, bumper repairs, and engine checks within the time limit. A ranking of play results will also be published.

Launch Date and Time Tuesday, May 26, 2026, from 12:00 PM

The content for the "FORUM8 Rally Japan Metaverse 2026" has been developed using the company's proprietary products and technology. As a world-first rally promotion program utilizing metaverse and NFT technology, Forum8 aims to liven up the tournament this year by providing deeper ways to enjoy the event both online and in person.
