Partnership will Allow Users to Socialize in a Habbo LAND in The Sandbox and Benefit from Interoperability with Habbo’s own Web3 Environment

HONG KONG – December 20, 2022 – The Sandbox, a leading decentralized gaming virtual world and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, today announced a new partnership with the leading metaverse of Azerion, Habbo, a community-driven socializing and gaming platform. 

The partnership will allow communities from The Sandbox and Habbo ecosystems to come together and create their own experiences and explore the metaverse together. Habbo’s first experience created in The Sandbox will mark the entry of its iconic Habbo Hotel and its receptionist, Frank, one of Habbo’s most well-known characters. In this new experience, players will help Frank take care of the hotel by completing engaging tasks. The Habbo experience in The Sandbox will allow players to learn more about Habbo’s universe and history, while expanding its narrative with new events and plot points. The partnership also expands Habbo’s presence in Web3, which started with Habbo X, a Web3 socializing platform that will offer interoperability with its experience in The Sandbox. 

“In many ways, Habbo has laid the foundation of a social virtual world where over 300 million avatars connect around social experiences over two decades,” said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “We’re thrilled to partner with them and build experiences in The Sandbox to empower their community with our #nocode Game Maker. This will enable the creation of more User-Generated Content and foster interoperability, showcasing the true potential of the open metaverse and Web3”

“The Sandbox has done a phenomenal job of pushing the envelope in Web3, building a strong community and a star-studded list of partners,” said Jurriaan van Teunenbroek, Vice President of Games and Content at Azerion. “We are very excited to work with The Sandbox in our own Web3 journey to expand the metaverse through interoperability and collaboration.”

Part virtual real estate, part amusement park, The Sandbox fully embraces the idea of the metaverse as a continuous shared digital space where worlds and heroes collide to make magic. Over 400 partners have joined The Sandbox, including Warner Music Group, Ubisoft, The Rabbids, Tony Hawk, Gucci Vault, The Walking Dead, Snoop Dogg, Adidas, Deadmau5, Steve Aoki, Richie Hawtin, The Smurfs, Care Bears, Atari, ZEPETO, and CryptoKitties, all following The Sandbox team’s vision of empowering players to create their own experiences using both original and well-known characters and worlds.

Major update will introduce new endgame content, gear, skills, controller support, and more!

XD Games, Shanghai — December 20, 2022 | Hoist those sails, dungeon crawlers; Torchlight: Infinite’s new season is ready to drop anchor! Launching in January 2023, “Blacksail” will see players embark on a new adventure that takes them to the end of the universe and into The Sea of Void.

Torchlight: Infinite’s new season will introduce more content to the popular PC and mobile action RPG while expanding hero gameplay and customisation with new skills. Not only that, Hero Relics will allow players to further progress and develop their in-game builds with new loot and loadout slots.

The Shattered Blacksail Story

All worlds end in ashes, forever lost in The Sea of Void. Here, countless Aemberons devour one another in an eternal cycle as wandering souls attempt to rejoin the world of the living. Emerging from endless darkness, the Lord of the Void Sea enslaves these souls as they pull Blacksail towards worlds that are yet to be broken. Here’s a sneak peek at Torchlight: Infinite’s new season:

Void Sea Endgame Content

In Torchlight: Infinite’s new season, Hunters can earn loot drops with special “Void Sea Night Flame” affixes when they kill monsters in the Netherrealm map. Upon defeating the final stage boss, an interactive device will appear on the map known as the “Void Sea Seal”. You can break this Seal using any Void Sea Night Flame to unlock a random Seal Whisper based on the affix of the Night Flame used. After breaking 6 Seals, Hunters can then go to the Void Sea End Port to challenge the Bride of Void Sea and steal her treasure. She may also drop a Void Sea Invitation – you will need these to challenge the season’s final boss, Lord of Void Sea, who will drop several unique Legendary Items. 

New Gear Slot and Skills

As we enter the new season, Hunters will gain access to two new hero items: Hero Relics and Hero Memories. Each Hunter can equip one Hero Relic, offering up to 3 slots which can be inlaid with collectable Hero Memories, providing powerful affixes that are closely related to the hero’s specialization. Helping to create more diverse build possibilities, Torchlight: Infinite will also introduce 5 new main Skills with the launch of the new season:

• Moon Strike
• Howling Gale
• Thunder Slash
• Blazing Bullet
• Haunting Abomination

More information on the latest skill additions in the new season here.  

PC Controller Support

There will soon be even more ways to play Torchlight: Infinite. PC controller support is being included as part of the new update, in response to community feedback. This will be particularly good news for those who have been itching to play on their new Steam Decks.

Christmas goodies

And finally, a letter from across the Void Sea… 

Thanks to the joint efforts of Torchlight’s heroes, the Dark Surge has faded. The Void Sea approaches, and generous gifts await those who took part in Torchlight: Infinite’s first season.. From mid-January, Hunters who own the “Black Ship Beacon” will receive the “Blacksail Token” which includes exclusive body effects, season supplies and other rewards. A Discord welcoming event is also now live, with 50 Jagged Primocryst up for grabs. To participate, join the Torchlight: Infinite Discord Server. From here, simply go to the discord-reward channel to get your code!

Y2K-Themed Chaotic Genre-Mashup Anthology Roman Sands RE:Build Takes Players on an Existential, Philosophical Rollercoaster This Summer 

Across it all, we’re staring down an inevitable doom. We resign to our fate, yet nevertheless are teased by a core human need to find an exit from the structures that define our nature.

Boulder, Colo. (Dec. 19, 2022) — Serenity Forge (Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!) and Arbitrary Metric (Paratopic) today revealed Roman Sands RE:Build during Nintendo’s Inside the House of Indies: Holiday Event – a new, genre-defying first-person narrative adventure launching this summer on PC and Nintendo Switch. Roman Sands RE:Build sets the stage for mental whiplash as it eliminates structures and takes players on an existential, philosophical journey requiring the suspension of human reason and our need for logic, process and connection. 

Bathe in liminal uneasy vibes in today’s announcement trailer:

Navigate an unwavering caste system set to a backdrop of the apocalypse and find connection and meaning in the midst of an ecological disaster as players are thrown into two distinct games across a variety of genres encompassing three acts of one overarching narrative. Following their distinct style of transgressive games, Arbitrary Metric’s Roman Sands RE:Build weaves a deeply human narrative, offering a counterpoint to the alienation and malaise of modernity.

Offering a tapestry of unique sensory journeys, the game asks questions and provides intrinsically troubling answers representative of the stark truth of human reality where players are invited to peel back the mysteries of the psyche and uncover what is real and what is not and most importantly, what it means. 

A unique, mind-boggling experience joining elements of adventure, gacha, horror, simulation and puzzle games as well as visual novels, players will need to master multiple genres and realities if they hope to solve the mysteries of Roman Sands RE:Build.
