Team New Meta: Expanding eSports in the Metaverse Through Collaboration with V

Expanding eSports in the Metaverse

V Corporation, based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has recently announced its collaboration with Team New Meta, the first eSports team born from the VRChat event "Pabuyuu!" This partnership aims to amplify the excitement of eSports within the metaverse. As part of this venture, they will unveil a line of official support merchandise, starting with custom team t-shirts designed for VRChat, available from April 20, 2026.

Background of the Initiative

Team New Meta originated from the launch of the VRChat eSports viewing community, "Pabuyuu!" on March 3, 2025. This community was formed with a vision to provide fans the opportunity to watch matches in a shared virtual space rather than just through screens. It quickly gained traction, attracting over 2,000 participants, who sought a place to engage vocally with one another. The enthusiasm of this community has led to Team New Meta's entry into the domestic professional league, LJL (League of Legends Japan League) starting in the 2026 season.

V Corporation resonates with Team New Meta’s endeavors rooted in the metaverse and is committed to supporting their activities through community engagement, product planning, production proposals, and implementation.

Official Support Merchandise

The inaugural product from this collaboration is the "VRChat Virtual Uniform," set to launch on April 20, 2026. This innovative digital item allows fans to create high-quality original team t-shirts by using a single image formatted in designated shapes. V Corporation will handle the base model and gimmicks of the t-shirts, making them customizable and appealing for fans within the VRChat platform.

Sponsorship Plan Launch

Available since January 28, 2026, Team New Meta’s Sponsorship Plan for the 2026 season includes two types of items: a neck strap and a badge type.

Fans and sponsors can utilize these items during public viewing events on VRChat to show their support for the team.
