HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore: Dates, Venue and What to Expect

Leave a comment

If you’re a fan of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, or Zenless Zone Zero, clear your schedule from 31 July — HoYo FEST 2026 is coming to Suntec Singapore for a three-day celebration, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest HoYoverse gathering the region has seen yet.

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore — Dates and Venue

HoYoverse’s annual Southeast Asia fan festival returns for its 2026 edition with confirmed dates for Singapore: 31 July to 2 August 2026, hosted at Hall 403, Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. That’s three days at one of the city’s most iconic event spaces right in the heart of the CBD.

The rest of the Southeast Asian leg runs 30 July to 2 August — Singapore is the one city that kicks off a day later, on the 31st.

What Games Are Featured?

HoYo FEST 2026 celebrates the full slate of active HoYoverse titles: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Impact 3rd, and Tears of Themis. Whether you’re a die-hard Traveller or a Trailblazer deep in the Astral Express crew, there should be something on the floor that speaks your language.

Artist Alley, Cosplay Runway and Stage Activities

The headline community activities at HoYo FEST 2026 are the Artist Alley and Stage Activities:

  • Artist Alley — an open marketplace where fan creators showcase and sell original merch, prints, and crafts inspired by HoYoverse’s games. Registration for a booth spot is open now via the official sign-up form on HoYoLAB.
  • Stage Activities — including an Open Stage where fans can perform, and a Cosplay Runway Walk for cosplayers to show off their best character builds in front of a live crowd. Applications for both are open now through the same registration link.

General attendance is open to everyone — the advance registration is specifically for those who want to participate on stage or in the Artist Alley, rather than for entry itself.

Across Southeast Asia

Singapore is one of six SEA cities hosting HoYo FEST 2026 this season. The other five are Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Bangkok (Thailand), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Manila (Philippines), and Jakarta (Indonesia). Note that Indonesia’s location has moved from Surabaya to Jakarta compared to 2025, which opens the event up to a bigger local fanbase.

Tickets and Admission

HoYoverse has not yet announced ticket pricing or admission details for the 2026 Singapore event — admission pricing is to be confirmed. Keep an eye on the official HoYoLAB announcement and HoYoverse’s social channels for updates closer to July.

Last words

For Singapore players who live and breathe HoYoverse games, HoYo FEST at Suntec is easily one of the most exciting summer calendar items to look forward to. Three days, five games, a cosplay runway, and an Artist Alley full of local fan talent — we’ll be there.

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.
