HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore — Tickets Open 16 July at S$16, Nexus Anima Playable

Leave a comment

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore now has a confirmed ticket price and sale date. Tickets open on 16 July 2026 at 11am SGT, with a 1-day pass priced at S$16 and a 3-day bundle at S$35 — plus a fast-pass upgrade at S$50. The event itself runs from 8 to 10 August at Suntec City Convention Centre, and for the first time, attendees will get to go hands-on with Honkai: Nexus Anima before any global launch date has been announced.

If you missed our earlier coverage, we reported on the event announcement and venue confirmation back in June. This article covers the newly confirmed ticket pricing, the sale window, and a closer look at what HoYoverse has planned for the three days.

Ticket Prices and When to Buy

Three ticket tiers are available:

  • 1-Day Pass — S$16: Access to HoYo FEST on one day of your choice (8, 9, or 10 August).
  • 3-Day Bundle — S$35: Entry across all three days at roughly S$12 per day.
  • Fast Pass — S$50: 3-day entry plus priority queue access for all playable booths and the lucky draw.

Tickets go live on 16 July at 11am SGT exclusively through the official HoYoFEST ticketing page. No third-party re-sale channels have been announced. Given that the first HoYo FEST Singapore sold out quickly, setting a reminder for the 16 July window is strongly recommended.

What’s On — Booths, Lucky Draw, and Artist Alley

The event floor at Suntec City Convention Centre will carry dedicated booths for Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, and Tears of Themis, each with game-specific merchandise, photo zones, and interactive activities. A community merchandise zone and a food and beverage area are also confirmed.

The lucky draw is open to all ticket holders and includes an ASUS ROG laptop, an iPad Air, and a PS5 Slim as headline prizes. Entry into the lucky draw is earned by completing booth stamp-card activities across the event floor.

The Artist Alley returns with 50 participating creators — the largest lineup for a HoYo FEST Singapore to date. The full creator list will be published ahead of the event; based on the floor plan released, the alley spans the full eastern wing of the convention hall.

The headline exclusive at HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore is a playable demo of Honkai: Nexus Anima — a new title in the Honkai franchise that HoYoverse has not yet given a global release date for. The Suntec City booth will be one of the first public venues outside of China where players can go hands-on with the game, making it a significant draw for Honkai series fans beyond the usual HoYo FEST experience. No further details about the demo’s content or playable characters have been released ahead of the event.

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore runs 8–10 August 2026 at Suntec City Convention Centre. Tickets go on sale 16 July at 11am SGT. Watch the Events section for further updates as the sale date approaches.

HoYoverse’s beloved annual fan festival is coming back to Singapore — and if you play Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, or Zenless Zone Zero, you’ll want to clear your calendar for the first weekend of August.

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore: Dates, Venue, and What’s New

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore runs from Friday, 31 July to Sunday, 2 August 2026 at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, Hall 403. That’s a three-day run — one day shorter than the other five Southeast Asian stops, which all kick off on the Thursday — so don’t wait until the weekend to plan your visit.

This year marks an expanded format for the festival: what started as a themed pop-up experience has grown into a full-fledged fan convention, with a dedicated exhibition floor, live stages, and a proper creator marketplace built in. Last year’s Singapore edition at Suntec drew strong crowds across all three days, and the 2026 edition looks set to be even more packed.

What’s Happening on the Convention Floor

HoYoverse has confirmed several activity streams for all six stops, including Singapore:

  • Themed Exhibitions — Immersive installations and interactive booths celebrating the worlds of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero.
  • Exclusive Merchandise — Official HoYo FEST-edition goods, typically available only at the event. Stock tends to go fast.
  • Artist Alley — A dedicated creator marketplace where fan artists can showcase and sell original merchandise, illustrations, and crafts inspired by HoYoverse titles.
  • Open Stage — Fan-led performances and community segments on the main stage.
  • Cosplay Runway Walk — Cosplayers take the spotlight in a runway showcase. Whether you’re watching or walking, it’s always a highlight.

Want to Participate? Registration Is Open Now

HoYoverse has opened recruitment for two participation tracks — and if you’re a creator or cosplayer, this is your shot to be part of the event from the inside:

  • Artist Alley — Apply to set up a booth and sell your fan-made work directly to attendees. This is separate from the standard vendor slots at events like Doujin Market, so it’s a unique opportunity for HoYoverse fan creators specifically.
  • Stage Activities — Submit for the Open Stage or Cosplay Runway Walk. You’ll be performing or strutting before a live audience of fellow fans.

Registration links are pinned on the official social media pages for each game — check Honkai: Star Rail on Facebook and the official HoYoverse social channels for the direct form links. No registration deadline has been confirmed yet, but these slots fill up quickly, so apply early.

The Full Southeast Asia Tour

Singapore is the sixth and final stop on HoYo FEST 2026’s Southeast Asia run. The full schedule:

  • Bangkok — Central Ladprao, BCC Hall (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Ho Chi Minh City — Sky Expo, Hall A4 (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Jakarta — Pondok Indah Mall 3, City Hall (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Kuala Lumpur — Pavilion Exhibition Centre, Halls 1–3 (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Manila — SPACE at One Ayala, Halls A–D (30 Jul – 2 Aug)
  • Singapore — Suntec Convention Centre, Hall 403 (31 Jul – 2 Aug)

Ticket Prices and Entry Details

Ticket pricing for the Singapore leg has not been announced yet — watch the official HoYoverse Singapore social pages for updates. Past HoYo FEST editions in Singapore have offered a mix of free and ticketed zones, so it’s worth checking before you assume entry is fully free.

What This Means for Singapore Gamers

HoYoverse games have a massive player base here — Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero consistently rank among the most-played mobile and PC titles in Singapore, and the communities around each title are active and enthusiastic. For fans who’ve only ever experienced these games through a screen, HoYo FEST is genuinely one of the best chances to get hands-on with the worlds, meet other players in person, and pick up limited merch that doesn’t make it to retail.

Mark the dates: 31 July to 2 August, Suntec Convention Centre Hall 403. Keep an eye on the official HoYoverse channels for ticket sales and any Singapore-specific programming announcements. We’ll update this page as more details drop.
