Filipino Girl Group KAIA Takes the Stage! FWC 2026 Heats Up (Part 2)

A gathering where companions who hunted together in-game meet beyond the monitor, the 'Flyff Universe World Championship (FWC) 2026' was held on October 24 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall in Manila, Philippines. Celebrating its fourth edition this year, FWC is a festival where players from around the world compete for the championship and fans gather in one place to share their passion for the game.

These finals serve as the culmination of a six-month journey that began on the dedicated FWC server opened back in April. For the competitors who leveled their characters from the same starting line, it is a day to prove their skills and meet face-to-face with the teammates they bonded with online. A golden trophy waiting on stage also awaits its new owner.

Around the venue, attractions as eye-catching as the matches themselves were prepared. This year welcomed fans on an even larger scale than last year. The area was filled with fun minigames, photo spots, a stage modeled after the in-game town square, and numerous attractions. Familiar characters were transformed into keyrings, stickers, and acrylic stands, accompanied by brilliantly dressed cosplayers and KAIA, a prominent Filipino girl group. Thanks to these efforts, the organizers estimated that over 7,000 fans—far more than at the previous event—filled the venue. It was truly a festival for Flyff Universe fans.

Here are photos capturing the scenes from FWC 2026 in Manila.
