Looking Glass Labs Ltd (LGL) said it has scheduled the launch date for the beta release of its Pocket Dimension (PD) metaverse offering for February 21, 2023.
PD Beta was developed in association with LGL’s partner, Starloop Studios, and is set to be released to all current holders of the digital assets on a simultaneous basis.
“We are greatly looking forward to launching the Beta Release of Pocket Dimension. It is expected to give our holders an even better experience with more enhancements,” said Dorian Banks, chief executive officer at LGL.

“Providing our community of users with the most realistic experience has always been our mission. Therefore, we are pleased to reach this milestone and launch PD Beta for the benefit of all of our stakeholders,” added Banks.
PD Beta will include the following key points of differentiation from the previously announced Alpha Release of Pocket Dimension on November 1, 2022:
- Allow PD holders to enter the ultra-high resolution metaverse powered by Unreal Engine 5; and
- Enable holders to import NFTs from user-linked wallets, thereby allowing them to use GenX and Gutter Cat Gang main collection assets, for example.
PD Beta is being built upon the updates included in the Alpha Release, which brought the following upgrades to users:
- 11 unique four-acre parcels of ultra-realistic land;
- Two stock playable avatars;
- Four NFT art galleries displaying stock artwork;
- Non-player character host interactions;
- Mini games; and
- The Gutter Trap House in affiliation with the Gutter Cat Gang.
