The Sandbox, Animoca Brands’ decentralized gaming virtual world, today announced a new partnership with gaming and socializing platform Habbo. The partnership will allow communities across The Sandbox and Habbo platforms to come together to explore the metaverse together. The first Habbo experience created in The Sandbox will mark the entrance of the Habbo Hotel and its receptionist, Frank, one of the most well-known Habbo characters. In this new experience, players will help Frank take care of the hotel by completing a series of tasks. The Habbo in The Sandbox experience will allow players to learn about the Habbo universe and history, expanding its narrative with new events and plot twists. The partnership also expands Habbo’s presence in Web3, which began with Habbo X, a socialization platform that will offer interoperability with its expertise in The Sandbox.
“Over two decades, in many ways, Habbo has laid the foundations of a virtual social world where more than 300 million avatars connect to enjoy various social experiences,” says Sebastien Borget, COO and co-founder of The Sandbox. “We are excited to partner with them and create experiences in The Sandbox to empower their community with our Game Maker software that requires no coding skills. This will enable the creation of user-generated content and foster interoperability, showcasing the true potential of the open metaverse and Web3.”
“The Sandbox has done a phenomenal job of pushing the boundaries of Web3, building a strong community and an unprecedented list of partners,” said Jurriaan van Teunenbroek, vice president of games and content at Azerion, a platform that has already brought the value of NFT in the virtual world of Habbo. “We are very excited to work with The Sandbox on our Web3-based journey to expand the metaverse through interoperability.”
