This event will have a specific focus on Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom. The VR movie has been available for purchase with additional MR (mixed reality) minigames since October 3, 2024.

The venue will let people experience a portion of the title with the Meta Quest 3S. In addition, there will also be an MR Gallery mode where visitors can view virtual exhibits of characters and mobile suits that appeared in Silver Phantom. However, the organizers will only allow people aged at least 10 to use the headsets.

Meta had previously launched another physical VR event that features Gundam: Silver Phantom at Shibuya Tsutaya. While this event is slated to return on December 10-21, 2024, it also includes titles from other franchises like Batman: Arkham Shadow and Square Enix’s Triangle Strategy. The newly announced event will have an exclusive focus on Gundam: Silver Phantom.

Meta Quest’s “The Gundam Is Too Close” Exhibition will take place at Tokyo Dome City on weekends and holidays from December 14, 2024, until February 24, 2025.
