Experience eSports in a Soundless World with 'FALAMENT'

Introduction

Meta Heroes, based in Osaka, Japan, has announced an exciting pre-tournament event for the innovative metaverse game 'FALAMENT.' This event is scheduled for November 8, 2025, at their cutting-edge DX educational facility, Hero Egg. The game aims to create an inclusive gaming experience for everyone, including those with hearing impairments, as part of their 'SILENT WORLD' project.

Addressing Social Issues

The project is a timely response to a significant societal challenge. According to a report from the World Health Organization (WHO), it is projected that by 2050, approximately 25% of the global population—about 2.5 billion people—will experience some form of hearing-related challenges. This statistic emphasizes the growing need for entertainment and activities that do not rely on sound.

In light of these projections, Solid Sonic, ASTOLTIA, and Ontelope have been pursuing unique initiatives related to hearing impairments. By collaborating with Meta Heroes, a company specializing in the metaverse, they aspire to create an immersive experience that transcends auditory limitations.

The Unique Offering of 'FALAMENT'

'FALAMENT' is set on the popular gaming platform Fortnite, which boasts over 650 million users worldwide. The game blends shooting and obstacle course elements to offer a unique eSports experience. Players engage in a fast-paced competition, relying on visual cues rather than sound to identify targets.

This innovative approach ensures that participants can compete on an equal footing, regardless of their hearing abilities. The game's mechanics encourage players to utilize their concentration, reflexes, and strategic thinking rather than auditory cues. As such, 'FALAMENT' aims to redefine eSports as not just a sound-based competition but as a game that everyone can enjoy.

One of the long-term goals for 'FALAMENT' is to become an official event in the Deaflympics, highlighting its commitment to inclusivity and showcasing the potential of soundless sports in the metaverse.
