Let’s start 2022 with a LAND sale. It’s time to go mega!

A new LAND sale is launching on January 13th at 1PM UTC around Mega City, a new cool neighbourhood in The Sandbox Metaverse.

Welcome to Mega City, the latest expansion of The Sandbox map. This cultural hub will be filled with multiple Hong Kong partners from the film, music, entertainment, acting, finance, real estate, and gaming sectors.

These brand new partners have all acquired some LAND in our Metaverse and have committed to build experiences in Mega City.

His XL Estate (24 x 24 LANDs) will be the innovation hub of Mega City. One of its main landmarks will be the GBA Pavilion, a vibrant place of creativity and tech wonders showcasing the successes and achievements of the Greater Bay Area startups. Around this pulsating center, GBA Companies associated with Adrian Cheng, C Venture and Eureka Nova will be featured and provide entertainment, exclusive NFTs, and immersive experiences, making it the place to be for innovators and dreamers of the future.

Sun Hung Kai & Co. Limited (SHK & Co), a leader in alternative investing headquartered in Hong Kong, entered The Sandbox by participating in its recent US$93M Series B fundraising round.

The SHK & Co LAND will include environments to host investor events, exhibitions, exclusive parties, and private performances. SHK & Co has been a long-standing investor in Animoca Brands, the parent company of The Sandbox since 2018, before blockchain and NFTs captured the public’s attention and influenced the gaming landscape. The company’s recent investments in both The Sandbox and LAND reflect its continued belief in the future of open ecosystems and the long-term value that they can create for all stakeholders.
