Inside The Walking Dead Comics x ‘The Sandbox’ Metaverse Collaboration

The Sandbox teamed up with Skybound Entertainment to bring The Walking Dead to their virtual world – Plus standalone characters and assets players can use to create original The Walking Dead adventures.

The Walking Dead is coming to the metaverse… The Sandbox, a leading decentralized gaming virtual world and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, announced today that it has partnered with Skybound Entertainment to bring an authentic new The Walking Dead experience to The Sandbox open gaming metaverse. Never before have fans had access to a customizable The Walking Dead experience like this.

Inside The Sandbox metaverse, the carefully integrated The Walking Dead game experience will encourage gamers to unite with friends and other players as they overcome the day-to-day requirements of surviving a walker-infested habitat: scavenging for food, gathering resources, building walls, nurturing relationships, making alliances and more. Through the power of The Sandbox, voxel versions of favorite The Walking Dead characters, such as Rick Grimes, Michonne, and the iconic walkers, can be combined with a horde of assets to allow users to recreate memorable comic book storylines to play through or to forge their own original adventures.

As a first step to bring The Walking Dead into The Sandbox’s metaverse, the team will give users the possibility to get pieces of virtual real estate close to The Walking Dead’s spot in the metaverse, enabling fans and gamers alike to be as close as ever to their beloved brand.

“Bringing The Walking Dead comic book franchise to The Sandbox metaverse will offer fans a groundbreaking opportunity to play, create, socialize, inhabit and interact within a novel multiplayer gaming virtual world,” said Dan Murray, Co-CEO, Skybound Games & Merchandise “It was important to us to offer a rich The Walking Dead experience in The Sandbox and leverage this first chance for players to create and share their own, user-generated new adventures featuring characters created by Robert Kirkman.”

“Our collaboration with The Walking Dead provides a whole new level of entertainment to our gaming metaverse, being one of the most exciting additions to our growing list of well-known IPs that exist alongside user-generated worlds created within The Sandbox,” said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “Fans will be able to step into an immersive, action-packed The Walking Dead experience as well as add their favorite Skybound characters and assets to their very own game worlds.”

The Sandbox is scheduled to launch its first public Alpha for players in Summer 2021, enabling anyone to experience a social hub and gain the power to build a fantastic collection of fantasy and role-playing adventures that can be traded with other players, creators, and artists on the platform.
