TIME Magazine has joined forces with The Sandbox to build a virtual Times Square in the metaverse.
TIME Magazine has continued its foray into the cryptocurrency and NFT world by partnering with blockchain-based gaming company The Sandbox to build TIME Square in the metaverse., the initiative was inspired by the “virtual spirit and energy” of the real-life Times Square neighborhood in New York City.
Times Square is an iconic cultural center, commercial intersection, tourist destination, and neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, New York, United States. The area is famous for its vast, illuminated advertising billboards and is considered the “heart of New York” and “the Crossroads of the World.”. The partnership will allow the media company to build TIME Square on its virtual land in The Sandbox, making it TIME’s first-ever metaverse destination since it joined the NFT space last year.
“Our goal is to create a destination that will be the heart of the metaverse. Since launching TIMEPieces in September 2021, we have focused on developing a community in Web3 that benefited from the incredible 100- year legacy and access TIME has established,” he said.TIME Square will serve as an inclusive platform for TIMEPieces holders to enjoy unique experiences such as attending meetings and events hosted by TIME Studios for educational and recreational purposes.
Grossman also noted that TIME Square would provide a “natural bridge” between the company’s virtual community, historical coverage, global relationships, and real-life events.“By partnering with TIME, we’re adding TIMEPieces as the beating heart and soul of this virtual Manhattan, where a design call for virtual architects will be held in TIME Square, a place in our creative metaverse for brands and creators.
