Arena of Valor Takes Its Tenth Anniversary Across Taipei
An October30 projection on Taipei101 precedes two separately ticketed Dome events on October31, alongside a NT$200 Songshan exhibition and a designated themed MRT trainset.
Garena Arena of Valor is bringing memories of team battles into Taipei for its tenth anniversary. A projection show is planned for the west face of Taipei101 on October30; October31 brings the GCS2026 Summer Final in the morning and an anniversary concert at night. Both are at Taipei Dome, but tickets are separate. For a month-end plan combining games, music and a city walk, distinguishing dates, locations and admission is more useful than remembering only the anniversary label.
The October30 projection is on the west face
The announced projection runs18:30–22:00 on October30 on the west face of Taipei101, towards TWTC Exhibition Hall1 and Shifu Road. It differs from the October2 lighting on the north face towards City Hall and Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, which has already taken place. The organiser plans to recreate familiar battles and heroes across the façade. Areas around Taipei101 MRT Exit2 and Four Four South Village help establish the viewing direction; different sides of the tower do not show the same content.
The city project also includes Taipei City Hall MRT Station and Bannan Line trainset155/156, announced through November1. The route begins at Exit2 and the outdoor escalator, continues to platform enamel panels with red and blue factions, puns and anniversary details, and reaches hero dialogue inside the train. Design on a designated trainset makes travel part of the exhibition. To locate it, select the Bannan Line in the Taipei Metro Go app’s live information and check the trainset number. The decoration does not appear on every Bannan Line service.

Two Dome events require separate tickets
Starting10:30 on October31, the GCS Summer Final carries the theme 頂天立地GOAT, with Nine One One as event ambassadors and a planned performance of their collaborative theme song 逆風. Originally announced match tickets are NT$299,499 and699 by section. The19:00 anniversary concert has separate seating and prices; a morning match ticket does not provide evening concert admission. Garena’s event announcement links to official ibon ticketing and seating information.

The two sessions gather audiences differently: competition and spectatorship during the day, then live music at night. Sharing Taipei Dome does not turn them into a single all-day ticket. Decide whether to watch competitive play, attend the concert or do both, then check the respective ticket and entry rules. Earlier lotteries and priority-sale announcements should not be read as guarantees that free tickets or specific seats remain available now.
Songshan exhibition runs through October31, with a NT$200 day ticket
Songshan Cultural and Creative Park lists the tenth-anniversary exhibition 流光穿梭 through October31 in its second-floor Multifunctional Exhibition Hall. Announced hours are10:00–18:00, with ticket sales and admission ending17:30; a day ticket costs NT$200. Anniversary-concert ticket holders qualify for free entry subject to on-site verification, rather than every player automatically entering free. Children aged six or younger must remain accompanied by a ticketed adult, and complimentary eligibility still involves relevant checks.

The route has five sections: a time portal, arena, main stage, refreshment area and collection area. The arena uses the Caesar, middle and Abyssal Dragon lanes for clue gathering; completing six challenges and consecutive stamps earns a postcard, with hero birthday fortunes also offered. Main-stage programmes follow their schedules, and some limited sessions use guaranteed-entry passes and crowd controls. Game art, puzzles and stage programmes call for different rhythms of visiting. From station illustrations and exhibition challenges to projection and arena-scale gatherings, the anniversary connects a visual language shared by its players.
