SkyFest Logo
Inspired by Sky Assemblies, SkyFest is an event designed to celebrate Sky's fifth anniversary both in-person and in-game. On July 13 and July 14, 2024, two Sky Assemblies will take place; one in China which will be run by NetEase, and the other in Tokyo, Japan, run by the TGC community management team. As most people won't be able to attend these assemblies, SkyFest will also take place in-game.
As Sky's first simultaneously in-person and in-game Sky Assembly event, it shares a similar goal to that of the AURORA Concert; to build a celebratory, connective experience that can be enjoyed by players around the world. It’s important that this event meets the moment and honors five years worth of players, stories, friendships, and more.
More information can be found in news announcements on the JP website but you can find more about SkyFest on the official Sky website.
