The Sandbox, a leading decentralized gaming virtual world, is partnering with Skybound Entertainment to offer a new The Walking Dead experience to gamers. The customizable The Walking Dead experience encourages players to band together to survive a walker-filled world. Gamers will be tasked with scavenging for food, gathering resources, building walls, nurturing relationships and making alliances in their quest to survive, and along the way, they'll see familiar characters from the franchise like Rick Grimes and Michonne.
The experience gives players the chance to recreate storylines from the comic book or create their own adventures, offering plenty of ways for fans to play. The Sandbox, described as "part virtual real-estate, part amusement park," is set to launch its first public Alpha for players in Summer 2021 so that even more players can join the metaverse.
