This comes as the entertainment metaverse surpasses two million registered users in just 13 months, showing strong global interest ahead of this year’s full launch.

The Sandbox Alpha Season 2 will welcome all registered users, including those who sign up during the four-week event, with free access to all of +35 solo and multiplayer experiences including Snoop Dogg’s Foreplay, a sneak peek at the rap legend’s Snoopverse, and Hong Kong’s Star Ferry Pier, a time-traveling tour of the city’s famous pier brought to life by the South China Morning Post’s historic archive. For the first time, Mac users can participate alongside PC players. Experiences will be introduced each weekday, including upgraded versions of content introduced in Season 1, new original experiences including a fashion show event, new tracks from DJ and entertainer Blond:ish to keep the crowd dancing in Club XYZ, and a new transportation hub.

Four new titles supported by The Sandbox Game Maker Fund, established to support independent game developers, are included in Alpha Season 2.

A sneak peek at some of the Game Maker-funded experiences can be seen here:

The Sandbox is making strong progress in hinting at the possibilities of the Metaverse – open, fun, culturally rich, avatar-centric, story-driven activities supporting women, diversity, art, fashion, lifestyle, and more – as Alpha Season 2 begins, with our team, the community, and our partners creating exciting new content to support our two million users,” said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “Alpha Season 2 will build on the success of the first Alpha Season, which attracted over 200K visitors, earned 90% positive feedback, and distributed over 5M $SAND.”

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.

NORCO’s OST will feature the complete in-game score by Gewgawly I (a member of Geography of Robots), as well as an album’s worth of new songs by Thou, whose past works include over a dozen LPs worth of music and collaborations with divergent artists like Emma Ruth Rundle and The Body.

About NORCO

NORCO takes place in a gritty, distorted version of South Louisiana. While searching for your missing brother in the aftermath of your mother’s death, you’ll team up with a fugitive security android and explore the sinking suburbs, run-down strip malls, drainage ditches, and verdant industrial swamps of Louisiana’s petrochemical hinterlands. Geography of Robots blends true stories and personal history with inspirations from Southern Gothic literature and pulp fiction to create a uniquely dark and captivating game experience.

About Geography of Robots

Geography of Robots is a game dev collab that explores the hidden geographies, conspiracies, folklore, and environmental histories of the American South in a collection of games, interactive fiction, and other experiments.

Wiesbaden, Germany – 3rd March, 2022 – German publisher Assemble Entertainment announced today its support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people facing the current crisis situation via a major financial commitment for the month of March 2022. Supporting the Ukrainian Red Cross relief efforts, the publisher and its partnered charities, including OneTreePlanted, Ocean Cleanup, GoGiveOne, Atmosfair, and ShareTheMeal, warmly band together to donate revenue contributions from their “Save the World” editions of its games on Steam.

For the month of March, players who purchase one of Assemble’s Save the World editions for its popular titles such as the new entries in the Leisure Suit Larry saga, ITORAH, Orbital Bullet, Sphere – Flying Cities, and others, will not only receive bonus digital content but can feel good in knowing their contribution will go toward Ukrainian relief efforts.

In making the announcement, Assemble Entertainment founder and CEO Stefan Marcinek remarked, “All of us at Assemble Entertainment are deeply shocked and stunned by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Out of the desire to support the Ukrainian people amidst this cruel and surreal situation, immediate discussions arose internally on how we, as a relatively small German games publisher, could make a difference. We collectively decided to donate Save the World edition contributions collected during March to the Ukrainian Red Cross. We’re doing this with the hope of alleviating some of the suffering endured by the Ukrainian people as we look forward to a quick and peaceful resolution to the conflict.”

Originally released in 1999 as a new generation in the highly popular FATAL FURY Series, GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES still continues to fascinate players around the world to this day.

Set 10 years after Geese Howard’s death, GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES restarts the legendary series with a new hero, “Rock Howard”, and hosts a plethora of new charismatic characters. Moreover, this new installment in the FATAL FURY Series abandons the traditional sway line mechanic and brings numerous new strategies with the “T.O.P. System,” “Just Defended,” and “Breaking” battle features instead.

THE LAST BLADE 2

“Hell’s Gate” is a boundary between life and death. Four ‘Mythological Symbols’ are about to fight an ultimate spirit awakened from the netherworld to the death and send him straight to ‘Hell’s Gate’. In addition to 12 combatants from the previous title, 4 brand new characters and 2 hidden characters join the fight in the gorgeous roster of 18 characters.

While keeping the “Sword Gauge,” “Rage Explosion,” and “Concentration One” features introduced in the previous installment, SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL is still claimed as one of the most balanced game in the SAMURAI SHODOWN Series.

28 fierce warriors, including Series’ legendary boss characters “Amakusa Shiro Tokisada”, “Mizuki Rashojin”, “Zankuro Minazuki”, and “Gaoh Kyogoku Hinowanokami” from SAMURAI SHODOWN V, gather and clash in this epic title!

KOF ’98 UM FINAL EDITION

After “KOF ’98”, often praised by the fans as the best installment in the “KOF” series, and “KOF ’98 UM” 10 years later, “KOF ’98” returns now on Luna in an ultimate and final version with THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98 ULTIMATE MATCH FINAL EDITION

A gorgeous character roster of 64 fighters

In addition to the original roster of “KOF ’98”, emblematic KOF characters such as Eiji Kisaragi, Kasumi Todoh, Geese Howard, Mr. Big, and Wolfgang Krauser join this ultimate tournament. Furthermore, this final edition offers an alternate version to some characters for a total of 64 different fighters and infinite team possibilities.

New system ULTIMATE MODE

The newly added “Ultimate Mode” will allow you to combine the various features of the original “Extra” and “Advanced” game modes in order to create your own one! Moreover, classic “Extra” and “Advanced” 2 game modes have been thoroughly rebalanced for a wider variety of battle strategies.

KOF 2002 UM

The second title in the UM series is a fully upgraded version of KOF 2002, a masterpiece of the KOF series deserving of a place honor along with KOF ’98. Based on THE NESTS CHRONICLES, this title includes the most characters of any title in KOF history.
