Step into an Anime World with the New 2D Avatar Type!
ZEPETO has always been at the forefront of diverse avatar styles, primarily focusing on 3D representations. However, in response to user desires for even more varied ways to express themselves, the platform has introduced the “2D Avatar Type.” This new base avatar is specifically designed for authentic anime and illustration expressions, enabling users to build a cuter and more immersive world than ever before. With just a smartphone, anyone can easily transform into their ideal anime character and start streaming or communicating. This feature is set to captivate not only existing ZEPETO users but also a new wave of creators who adore 2D and anime culture.
