Magnificent Century has announced that it is soon joining the digital space of The Sandbox, also referred to as Sandbox, in this article. The plan looks airtight, and if the team proceeds to join the Metaverse, then it will be the second television series to do so. The first is The Walking Dead. Magnificent Century is a Turkish television series that has been viewed by over 500 million people across the world. It has been termed one of the major milestones in the industry.
Magnificent Century will go live for game players, allowing them to create their experiences through NFTs and live interactive events. Further plans, if any, will be shared by Magnificent Century and Sandbox. Players all over the world will also be able to equip their 3D avatars starting the last quarter of 2023. Characters for the game players will hail from the fictional world.
The global launch of the theme was hosted by Sandbox in Paris. Sebastien Borget, the Chief Operating Officer of Sandbox, expressed their excitement over the collaboration, saying that they were looking forward to having a globally renowned Turkish series on the Metaverse. Sebastien, also the Co-Founder of the platform, believes that having the series on their platform will strengthen their presence in the international market.
Making a debut on Metaverse alternatively opens the doors to planning a massive presence on Web3 – the decentralized internet. While it is not exactly out in the open, Web3 is aiming to gain traction in all the important regions via a play-to-earn gaming model.
