Experience the Thrills of Zombie Storm at the Shibuya Startup Festival 2025

Prepare yourself for an exhilarating adventure as the Japan XR Center showcases its groundbreaking XR survival action game, Zombie Storm, at the Shibuya Startup Festival on November 3, 2025. This extraordinary event will take place at the Shibuya Stream Hall, where innovative technology and entertainment collide.

What is Zombie Storm?

Zombie Storm is a unique creation from the Japan XR Center, merging augmented reality (XR) technology with cutting-edge haptic weapons. This original shooting game allows up to six players to engage in a high-energy survival experience, fighting off waves of zombies in an immersive environment. Unlike traditional VR games, Zombie Storm blurs the lines between reality and the digital world, giving players a visceral sense of being truly present in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. With threats ranging from relentless zombie hordes to epic boss fights, players must strategize and cooperate to survive in this heart-pounding adventure.

Purpose of the Exhibition

The primary aim of this exhibition is to introduce the public to the innovative capabilities and unique offerings of Japan XR Center. Zombie Storm, our flagship title, is particularly special as it is the first fully in-house developed game by our team. This game will also play a pivotal role in our new flagship store, opening in Nakano Broadway in 2025.

The Shibuya Startup Festival represents a unique opportunity for us to share the fascinating world of Zombie Storm and highlight its technological value with a broader audience.

What Attendees Can Expect

Visitors will have the chance to explore the captivating atmosphere of the Zombie Storm through a variety of audiovisual presentations. We intend to go beyond mere demonstrations; we aim to provide an interactive experience that illustrates the potential of combining XR technology with entertainment.

In addition to showcasing Zombie Storm, we will present several other major XR titles we have developed. Attendees will also witness our comprehensive approach to XR hardware and software development, including haptic devices and multiplayer systems.

Key Features to Look Out For

- Multiplayer shooting experience accommodating up to six players
- A realistic zombie survival experience where players must “walk and fight”
- Cutting-edge haptic feedback technology for an enhanced sensory experience
- An introduction to commercially deployed XR attractions already available at our flagship store

The combination of these elements in Zombie Storm promises an unmatched level of immersion and engagement for all participants.

Future Aspirations

At the Japan XR Center, we are excited about the future. We plan to expand the reach of Zombie Storm and other XR content, both in retail environments and through licensing opportunities that target both domestic and international markets. Our vision is to make XR experiences more accessible and realistic, creating unforgettable entertainment that resonates with players.
