Title: Ethereum-Based Metaverse The Sandbox Enlists 'The Walking Dead'
Post by: RSRS on July 08, 2021, 04:09:40 PM
The Sandbox, an upcoming Ethereum-based online metaverse game, has already signed a diverse array of pop culture brands and properties for the shared gaming environment, including The Smurfs, electronic musician Deadmau5, seminal NFT experience CryptoKitties, and classic gaming brand Atari. Its latest addition, however, shows just how wide-ranging and eclectic the upcoming virtual world may be.

Today, Animoca Brands announced that it has partnered with Skybound Entertainment to bring "The Walking Dead" to The Sandbox, with the popular zombie-themed comic book and television franchise set to contribute familiar characters and themes to the metaverse.

When launched, The Sandbox will feature an interactive Walking Dead game experience that lets fans attempt to survive amidst the zombie uprising. Popular characters like Rick Grimes and Michonne will be recreated in the game’s blocky 3D voxel style, and players must harvest resources, fend off undead attackers, create alliances, and more. Players can also use "The Walking Dead"-themed assets within The Sandbox’s Game Maker toolset.

“Users will be able to come up with their own fan-made experiences and add their own personal flavor to the mix, stretching the limits of this Walking Dead mega-compound as far as the eye can see,” The Sandbox co-founder and COO Sébastien Borget told Decrypt.
