Hello Kitty Enters the Metaverse! Sanrio's First Social VR Game 'Skyland' Is Here!

What happens when adorable Hello Kitty and friends collide with a dazzling VR metaverse? The answer — 'Hello Kitty Skyland'! This highly anticipated social VR game not only injects Sanrio's charm into a virtual world but also opens the door to creators, inviting you to co-build a whimsical 'sky city.'

Kitty and Friends Are Waiting for You in VR!

From Hello Kitty to My Melody, Sanrio characters have a warm, irreplaceable place in our hearts. Now the Thirdverse team brings these beloved friends into VR, crafting a dreamy virtual space called "SKYLAND."

'Hello Kitty Skyland' is far from a simple reskin. It delivers an unprecedented immersive experience where players worldwide can gather and interact with Sanrio characters: play motion mini-games, craft delightful items by hand, and freely decorate your personal space and avatar. It's like moving our childhood dreams straight into a metaverse within reach.

Dual Identities: Play Skyland Your Way

In 'Hello Kitty Skyland', you get two awesome identity modes. First is a highly customizable "human" mode, where you can dress up your avatar and become a standout sight in SKYLAND. From hairstyles to outfits, fine-grained customization lets your personality shine.

The second is a "dynamic exploration mode" tailor-made for SKYLAND. Here you transform into an original Sanrio-designed VR form and explore freely. This design lets you switch seamlessly between social interactions and adventurous exploration. Every login feels like a brand-new immersive journey.

Calling All Creators: Co-Author the Next Chapter of the Metaverse

Playing isn't enough — Thirdverse also announced the 'Hello Kitty Skyland Creator Program'! They're looking for passionate, wildly creative pioneers to join as the first wave of creators: get hands-on early access and share the magic with the wider community.

Join the program for coveted beta access, early gameplay, and exclusive in-game goodies. If you're a Sanrio superfan or a VR creator curious to build, this is your chance. Hop into the Discord community at https://discord.com/invite/hellokittyskyland and become a SKYLAND "founder" — let's infuse this world with even more energy together!

Looking Ahead: A New Blueprint for Social VR

As a free social VR game, 'Hello Kitty Skyland' is slated to arrive on Meta Quest in late 2025. That means VR won't just be a playground for tech enthusiasts — it will become a new space for more people to connect and have fun.

Sanrio's timeless charm combined with Thirdverse's XR game expertise will inject fresh vitality into social VR. As more details and development updates roll out, there's every reason to believe 'Hello Kitty Skyland' will become a new metaverse landmark full of love, joy, and infinite possibilities. It's not only a tech leap — it's an emotional bridge.

The Metaverse, Made Magical by Mascots

Imagine dancing with Hello Kitty, adventuring with Pompompurin, and crafting a one-of-a-kind home with friends worldwide in SKYLAND. This is more than technology — it's connection.

The arrival of 'Hello Kitty Skyland' brings us one step closer to a vision where "a billion people live in virtual worlds." In the gentlest, cutest way, it reminds us the metaverse isn't cold tech — it can be warm, creative, and powerfully human. Ready to soar with Hello Kitty?
