The WWFEST will be hosted in six different regions by six other agents. Raze, Reyna, Phoenix, Killjoy, Jett, and a mystery agent will be hosting for Brazil, the UK, the US, Germany, Korea, and Japan.

Through the use of drones, the event will be showcased as a first-person perspective for the agents. It will be presented as if playing as the agent.

With Yoru joining as a host and Episode 2 being confirmed for January, WWFEST could be the first introduction to Episode 2.

Episode 2 is a major content, and it would be really innovative to integrate the launch with WWFEST.
