Pacsun has launched its second virtual experience, Pacsun Los Angeles Tycoon, on Roblox. Pacsun Los Angeles sees players explore the streets of Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Hollywood. The Pacsun Los Angeles Tycoon experience pays respect to Pacsun's Southern Californian history, allowing players to engage with an interactive mall experience.
Pacsun Los Angeles Tycoon urges players to use their abilities to build their way through California’s cities by showcasing real-life inspiration and building places. As a reward for finishing a region, a specific zone in a Pacsun shop will unlock a specialized item once the area has been completed.
“Pacsun Los Angeles Tycoon is filled with all-new surprise and delight moments that tie in elements from our physical offerings rolling out this year, and we’re excited to debut our Spring 2023 collection in a way where our community can experience it in both virtual and physical worlds," said Pacsun's CO-CEO, Brie Olson.
