Attempting to provide its users with a metaverse experience, The Sandbox (SAND) has introduced ‘Alpha Season 3.’ The concept of the metaverse can be described as an advanced iteration of virtual reality technology. In this envisioned universe, individuals can create and utilize three-dimensional avatars to represent themselves.

However, it’s important to note that there is currently no universally accepted definition for the metaverse; it remains a concept. Many believe that metaverse technology represents the future of the internet, and Facebook’s rebranding to ‘Meta’ has further fueled interest in this field.

Amidst this growing interest, the acquisition of virtual land within the metaverse, which extends elements of the physical world into the virtual realm, has become a prominent topic of discussion.

In the interactive realm known as ‘Snoopverse,’ established through a collaboration between the renowned US rapper Snoop Dogg and Sandbox, someone recently spent $450,000 to become a neighbor to Snoop Dogg’s NFT mansion. In another virtual universe created by Sandbox, a staggering $650,000 was paid for a mega yacht.

Sandbox, in its pursuit of delivering a metaverse experience to users, has now launched Alpha Season 3, which will run until November 1st.

This new season offers 90 diverse metaverse experiences, providing a total of 100 hours of gameplay for users. Notable features of the new season include content from The Walking Dead series, Warner Music, and contributions from 22 prominent individuals and brands, including Snoop Dogg.

The company aims to surpass the milestone of 500,000 active users with the introduction of this third season.

This new season is designed to rekindle interest in the metaverse world, which experienced a downturn during the cryptocurrency crisis following the initial excitement.
