Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd’s subsidiary The Sandbox has partnered with Monsta, the producer of the highly anticipated superhero series, Mechamato, to bring an exclusive gaming experience, to its gaming virtual world.
Monsta’s Mad Mecha will give players the first-ever access to a rich new high-tech robotic universe in a customisable interactive experience.
Monsta joins more than 165 existing partnerships including The Walking Dead, Snoop Dogg, deadmau5, Richie Hawtin, The Smurfs, Care Bears, Atari, ZEPETO and CryptoKitties, all following The Sandbox’s vision of empowering players to create their own experiences using both original and well-known characters and worlds.
As a first step to bring Mad Mecha into The Sandbox metaverse, The Sandbox will give users the possibility to get pieces of virtual real estate close to Monsta’s spot in the metaverse, enabling fans and gamers to be close to their beloved brand.
Unique experience
The Sandbox COO and co-founder Sebastien Borget said: “We’re pleased to welcome the Mad Mecha IP into The Sandbox metaverse, and we hope to see it attract new audiences from South East Asia to our gaming virtual worlds, enabling fans and users to create their own adventures and stories with their favorite characters.”
Monsta's co-founder and chief operating officer for the upcoming Mad Mecha project, Kee Yong Pin said: “We are excited to bring the Mad Mecha project into the immersive gaming metaverse of The Sandbox.
“We believe that Mad Mecha has the potential for immense growth on this platform, especially with such a passionate and dedicated community.
“It will offer a unique experience for both our existing and future audience base, very different from our previous projects.
“We can’t wait to introduce our lineup of stylish collectible robots. We have a lot of ideas and are working eagerly on various digital collectibles for The Sandbox community.”
Exiled robots Mad Mecha?
Mad Mecha is a newly designed game world, where dangerous robots named Mad Mechas roam free in a high-tech world populated by exiled robots.
Having gained a remote connection with one of them, it is now up to the player to help it survive and escape the planet by navigating dangerous robot cities and participating in the Robo-Games at the colosseum.
Epic battles await in the Quest Zone where players will earn parts from defeated enemy Mad Mechas and rescued friendly Mad Mechas too.
Players can use the Workshop to assemble these parts into new robot champions, who will fight in the Battle Zone player versus player (PVP) mode.
The rich and meticulously-crafted Mad Mecha universe will exist inside The Sandbox, featuring exclusively-designed digital assets to collect, including a full line-up of unique in-game robot avatars with special fighting abilities.
Various challenges are built into the game that will reward players with more items once completed. Various new assets await LAND owners with the likes of Mad Mecha assets, NPCs, buildings and props to build their own Mad Mecha City.
