Kippo's new metaverse app.

Kippo 2.0 pivots gamer dating app to the metaverse

Kippo opened its dating and social community for gamers in September of 2019. And now it is pivoting to turn its experience into a metaverse application.

With Kippo 2.0, players can still continue with the dating part. But they can also now immerse themselves in building out a home and meeting with other people in the social spaces inside the app.
