Big Changes Ahead for Holo Indie

Holo Indie, the secondary creation game brand under Hololive Production, is set to reopen its submission process for new works on May 1, 2026. This decision comes after a reevaluation of the game's review system, which resulted in a temporary halt in new submissions since February 26, 2026. The revamped submission process will now follow a seasonal model, allowing for three submission periods each year: January, May, and September, with approximately one month for each.

New Submission System Details

The transition to a seasonal submission system represents a significant shift in how Holo Indie manages game entries. Previously, submissions were welcomed year-round, but the new design aims to create a more structured and engaging environment for both creators and fans. Each season will have a designated submission period of about one month. Additionally, Holo Indie will participate in various events, where on-site submissions may also be accepted, providing creators with multiple avenues to showcase their work.

Submission Periods Specified

• - First Season: May 1, 2026 – May 31, 2026 (Japan Standard Time)
