In June 2026, a new VR experience, “THE SECRET OF THE PYRAMID BUILDERS,” will be released at the large-scale XR experience facility “IMMERSIVE JOURNEY” Yokohama. Ticket sales are scheduled to begin in mid-May.
This immersive VR experience, created by the French VR production studio Excurio, is themed around ancient Egypt. The setting is Giza approximately 4,500 years ago. The experience delves into the mystery of how the colossal pyramids were built. Visitors begin by exploring the interior of the pyramids and then travel to various locations in ancient Egypt, including voyages on the Nile River, ruins along the Red Sea coast, and the living quarters of the laborers.
Following their appearances in the previous game, “Horizon of Khufu,” Fairouz Ai will reprise her role as the Mona Egyptologist, and Sawashiro Miyuki will return as the cat goddess Bastet. Ebara Masashi will also be joining the cast as the Sphinx.
“IMMERSIVE JOURNEY” is an experiential XR facility where visitors can freely roam a vast space while wearing a VR headset. The Yokohama store opened in December 2024, and the Nagoya store opened in January 2026. The combined total number of visitors for the two stores in Yokohama and Nagoya has exceeded 200,000.
Ticket prices are ¥4,000 for general admission (up to 3 people) on weekdays and ¥5,000 on weekends and holidays. Group rates for 4 or more people are ¥3,800 on weekdays and ¥4,500 on weekends and holidays (all prices include tax, per person). The experience lasts approximately 45 minutes and is suitable for ages 8 and up. Tickets can be purchased on the IMMERSIVE JOURNEY official website.
