On May 25-26, 2024, Dokibird hosted a Vtuber WrestleTuber 2024 event with indie Vtubers, as well as people from Holostars English, VShojo, Idol Corp, Phase Connect, and the winner ended up being last minute invader Unnamed. This happened in the final seconds, following Gavis Bettel managing to sweep the competition and beat Filian in what ended up not being the final match. Dokibird also confirmed the event will return next year.

WrestleTuber 2024 included a number of surprises in addition to Gavis Bettel initially beating out the other Vtubers before being toppled by Unnamed. Before activities took place, Nana Asteria dropped a diss track song to intimidate her first opponent, Jurard T. Rexford. On the first day of the event, Mint Fantome appeared as a surprise caster alongside Dokibird. In addition, on the second day of the event Matara Kan appeared as a last-minute entrant and faced off against Mint. 

Here is Nana Asteria’s WrestleTuber 2024 song.

They will also keep their current YouTube channels and other social media s.

As for the transfer process, Sony encourages fans of the group's VTubers to pay attention to their favorite talents’ streams and social medias. This is so that they know what their future plans on. The official s will remain as an archive even after March 31, 2024. Sony adds that fans don’t ask the talents about this closure, and to e-mail management directly.

Prism Project started in 2021 and became partners with Sony Music Entertainment Japan from 2022. It debuted seven generations of VTubers since it began. As of the time of writing, there are around twenty VTubers with Sony Music Entertainment.

Prism Project will cease operations from March 31, 2024, with all the VTubers going indie under their current identities and models.
