Cover announced the 1.0 launch of Holoearth, the Hololive and Holostars metaverse project that includes social and a sandbox element, and confirmed the Marketplace with user-created items will debut alongside it. That happens on April 24, 2025. Following that, the company will begin work on other additions such as a hololive production official shop, support for the company’s Vtubers’ models in-game, concerts and special events, and mobile support.
In the case of the Holoearth Marketplace, it will let people use the Creator Tools to apply original art and designs created by people to apply them to in-game avatar t-shirts and hoodies. These items can also become chat stickers. After creating the art and adding them to an item, these will be submitted to Cover. Once approved, someone can go to their My Shop to decorate a storefront and begin selling any valid items they created at an AL-Tech Terminal. All purchases will use the premium HoloCoin currency. Once items sell, the people who made them can then get paid for them.
Here’s the official trailer for the Holoearth Marketplace. If you turn on closed captions, English subtitles are available. At the one minute mark, the new official Pastel Spring avatar items made by Cover appear.
There’s a Holoearth anime-style trailer to celebrate the 1.0 launch as well.
As for the future, that involves more customization options and things to do in Holoearth. The only one with a set date is the hololive production official shop. That “opens” in-game on May 14, 2025. When it does, Hololive Expo 2024 and general Vtuber t-shirts will appear in it. Another goal will be for the project to support the Hololive and Holostars’ Vtuber avatars. So performers can use that in-app, with the custom clothing there, when taking part in meet-and-greet moments, special activities, and concerts. More concerts are also planned, with Cover suggesting they’ll be like Protolive and Yamato Phantasia. Finally, some elements of the metaverse will show up on mobile devices.
Holoearth is available for PCs, and the 1.0 version debuts on April 24, 2025.
