Ambr Unveils Exciting New Roblox Experience

To celebrate the release of Mamoru Hosoda's latest film, Hateshinaki Scarlet, and the 15th anniversary of Summer Wars, ambr Co., Ltd. has announced the development of a fan-centric Roblox experience inspired by the virtual world of 'OZ'. This immersive experience will allow players to navigate the vibrant realm of OZ using their avatars, connecting with friends and players around the globe.

Roblox, a wildly popular social platform, attracts over 150 million daily users, offering a plethora of virtual experiences ranging from games to adventures and educational content. The aim of this project is to leverage the limitless creativity and immersive qualities of Roblox to create a new digital space that connects fans with the unique worlds of Hosoda’s films.

Users will be able to traverse OZ freely, interacting with a diverse range of participants and exploring various elements from Hosoda’s previous works, including Hateshinaki Scarlet. By bringing these narratives together, the experience promises to foster a new kind of connection with storytelling, allowing fans to engage deeply with the universes they love.

As players dive into the world reminiscent of OZ, they'll not only explore the fantastical landscapes but also encounter various themes and motifs from previous films by Hosoda. It's an invitation to discover stories that transcend reality while enjoying creative interactions and adventures with fellow fans.

Set to coincide with the U.S. release of Hateshinaki Scarlet in early 2026, this immersive experience is highly anticipated by fans of both video games and animated film. Updates and further details about this exciting new world will be shared on Studio Chizu's official website and social media channels, so stay tuned!

Statement from Takuyoshi Nishimura, CEO of Ambr

Nishimura expressed his excitement about the project, highlighting ambr's mission to create new virtual worlds as a nod to the past. "Ambr was founded with the aim of crafting a new generation of virtual spaces, with the concept of OZ from Summer Wars serving as our foundation. Though past attempts faced challenges, we have continued to innovate in virtual environments. Now, having the opportunity to create an OZ-inspired virtual space in Roblox, a platform hosting over 100 million avatars, is incredibly exciting."

He further emphasized the greatness of Hateshinaki Scarlet, encouraging everyone to watch the film when it releases in theaters. With a compelling narrative filled with adventure and emotion, he believes it deserves to be seen by audiences worldwide.
