Forget standing outside in the rain and risking the chance of catching COVID to watch the ball drop in Times Square. SamEwen says he’ll be celebrating the famous festivities in decentraland. And you can, too.
The first question that went through my mind was possibly the most obvious: When is midnight in the metaverse? Despite a fair amount of searching, I learned there does not yet seem to be an accepted metaverse timezone. For now, however, no matter where in the physical world users log in from, New Year’s Eve in Decentraland will be tied to its physical twin of Times Square: at 12:00 a.m. ET.
Indeed, there will be live musical performances to dance to in this virtual Times Square event. There’ll also be crypto art, immersive games, a custom CoinDesk auditorium showing specially tailored year-end content and, of course, all the billboards and advertising of the actual Times Square.
