Phoenixx Inc. has announced “Zero Kyori Connect No.2 ~Indie Game Edition~ Supported by xeen,” a new-concept indie game event where fans can interact with VTubers at “zero distance.” The event will be held on September 26, 2026 (Sat) at namco TOKYO in Shinjuku. Tickets are ¥3,500 (tax included) and sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Event Overview

“Zero Kyori Connect” is a new-concept indie game event that brings VTubers and audiences together at “zero distance.” For its second installment, the event spotlights two titles: the rage-inducing mountain climbing game “Zako no Ahiru” and the programming AI tank battle “Super Tank Wars.” Through VTuber gameplay, the event delivers a special evening where attendees can share the depth and fun of each title up close.

Performers and Production

MCs are Mochizuki Eri and Matsuzaki Nana. Gameplay commentary features Ichigono Pafe, Okojo Puramu, and Yukimizu Meru. Planning support comes from Bandai Namco Research, production by Babaanitwo, and special sponsorship by xeen.

Future Outlook

Ticket and event details are available on the official X account and ticket portal. Organizer Phoenixx Inc. operates under the mission of “bringing Japanese creators to the world and global creators to Japan and Asia,” and further events bridging indie games and VTubers are expected going forward.

Commentary

“Zero Kyori Connect,” now in its second edition, is establishing itself as a format that fuses indie games with VTubers at live events. Hosting at namco TOKYO — a high-footfall venue in Shinjuku — along with planning support from Bandai Namco Research and sponsorship from xeen shows a solid organizational foundation. The “zero distance” experience of watching VTubers play games in person offers a unique value that streaming alone cannot replicate.
