A virtual online space dedicated to the world of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is now live, featuring an audio guide by Nobuhiko Okamoto (voice of Himmel). The online space is titled Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Online Festival, and the virtual experience will be available from December 4, 2024, to May 31, 2025.
The event lets users become virtual wizards and interact with other fans from around the world. In the Museum Area, they can relive key moments from the series through an exhibition of memorable “words” that Frieren and her party encountered on their journey. A trailer was released for event about two weeks ago. You can watch it below.
The interactive features of the event include the ability to customize a user’s profile, to capture photos of their experience, and a lottery to win prizes related to the Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End manga.
There is also the ability to use AR to place a Himmel statue anywhere in the world, or to submit fan arts and ideas they’d like to see in the series. The event also invites fans to share their creations and participate in different kinds of events.
