Furality for 2026 has completed its strongest year yet. Their attendance continued to grow by gaining 1,000 more attendees at 27,943. This growth has tempered, likely due to headwinds primarily caused by a new requirement of verifying age through electronic tools required to attend starting this year. They raised $116,121 according to the latest announcement for Resilient Hearts animal sanctuary, a LGBTQ+ run animal rescue.
The theme for this year was “Ultra”, a gaming theme where you visit the virtual world of the fictional console of the Ultravox Prism that is set to shut down at the end of the weekend. Many of the references were to the consoles of the mid-2000s that included loading intros and health warnings of overplaying that preceded many games of the era to invoke nostalgia toward that era of gaming long past.
The format of this gathering is seeming to become established and with that being the polish of the worlds is better than they ever have been. This article will go over the improvements found, but this year will primarily focus on the Dealer’s Mall in later sections. For a more larger view of Furality it is recommended reading our premiere article covering Furality Umbra from 2024. [2025 Furality Somna also available]
