Following the recent collaboration announcement with Tony Hawk, Sandbox swiftly revealed an exciting partnership with Playboy for the creation of a MetaMansion within the Metaverse.

This innovative project is set to showcase exclusive NFTs and offer unforgettable experiences tailored for the Rabbitar Playboy NFT community. The unveiling occurred on Monday, accompanied by indications from the Playboy team that a dedicated metaverse mansion is on the horizon.

Simultaneously, on the very same day as the Playboy revelation, Sandbox disclosed yet another strategic alliance—this time with South Korean KEB Hana Bank. The collaboration aims to establish a virtual branch within the Sandbox Metaverse.

A statement emphasized the virtual branch’s role in delivering core banking services and fostering investment and collaboration opportunities with other Sandbox partners.

Notably, Hana Financial Group stands to gain from this collaboration by introducing K-verse, a virtual space dedicated to South Korean content.

This move reflects a strategic effort to engage with the Zoomers (Generation Z). The following day, Sandbox continued its series of partnerships by announcing a collaboration with Bushidos to introduce samurai pop-inspired NFT art into the ever-expanding Metaverse.
