The Sandbox launches multi-year partnership with King Kong of Skull Island

The Sandbox has launched a multi-year partnership with King Kong of Skull Island to build a space inside its virtual world where you can build, own, and monetize your gaming experiences.

The Sandbox has been creating AdventureWorld, a neighborhood in the Sandbox map. Defender District park is the first realm within AdventureWorld, where LAND owners defended against massive Titans from Attack on Titan.

The Sandbox has done a LAND sale (using $SAND, which is The Sandbox’s utility token) in the Defender District park inside The Sandbox’s metaverse-like map. It has also started a LAND sale in the second of three parks inside the new AdventureWorld neighborhood on the Sandbox map.

The Sandbox will have a space for Skull Island in its virtual world.

That second park is Brawlers Ring, and it is right next to the King Kong of Skull Island realm. In this case, players can buy LAND right next to the King Kong place. This LAND sale marks the first major collaboration between The Sandbox and King Kong of Skull Island.

The third part is yet to be named.
