What is HoYoFEST?
HoYoFEST is an annual regional event organized by HoYoverse, the publishers themselves, for the fans.
Focused primarily on Southeast Asia, it brings together players from across its game ecosystem through themed booths, interactive exhibits, merchandise, and live performances.
Since its debut, HoYoFEST has grown from a smaller-scale fan gathering into a major multi-country event, reflecting the rising popularity of HoYoverse titles in the region.
Each year introduces new features—from expanded Artist Alley spaces to more structured stage programming—while continuing to emphasize community-driven experiences.
With HoYoFEST 2026 happening once again across six countries, the event continues to position itself as one of Southeast Asia’s biggest celebrations of gaming fandom and fan creativity.
