Attack on Titan to collaborate with The Sandbox Web3 open metaverse platform, launching “Attack on Titan LAND” in collaboration with Minto
Los Angeles — July 8, 2024 — The Sandbox (CEO: Arthur Madrid), Minto (CEO: Kazuhiro Mizuno) and Copro Corporation (CEO: Koichiro Kawashima), are authorized with permission from Kodansha Ltd. to produce NFTs and create Attack on Titan (*1) LAND on “The Sandbox” in the Web3 gaming decentralized metaverse.
In Attack on Titan (original story by Hajime Isayama, Kodansha), a boy named Eren Jaeger lives an isolated life inside a walled city to escape the threat of man-eating Titans. Eren, who lost his mother to the Titans and burns with a vengeance, joins the Survey Corps to fight back, throwing himself into a terrifying battle. With a total worldwide circulation of over 100 million copies, Attack on Titan’s fan base extends far beyond Japan, reaching enthusiasts across the globe.
Attack on Titan will participate in a LAND sale as they launch their location on The Sandbox Map. Later this year, The Sandbox and Attack on Titan will join forces to create a first-of-its-kind, interactive experience on The Sandbox.
“Attack on Titan is much more than a Japanese manga series set in a post-apocalyptic dark fantasy world. It has taken the world by storm, turning into a global anime and movie phenomenon,” said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “Prepare yourself for a Titan invasion in the metaverse! We’re thrilled to bring Attack of the Titan’s authentic universe to the metaverse and see the story continue with a new journey in The Sandbox. Attack on Titan’s fans will enjoy playing and creating new adventures in their favorite series.”
From NFT collectibles to engaging experiences, The Sandbox and Attack on Titan collaboration will unlock new ways for fans to celebrate what they love.
(*1) LAND: Virtual real estate space in The Sandbox where Experiences and Games are published and which can be accessed by players with their avatars.
