Dungeon Siege LAND Will Provide a Starting Point for Adventures and Creators Will Be Able to Build Their Own New Dungeon Siege Experiences Using Licensed Content.
The Sandbox, a leading decentralized gaming virtual world and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, announced today that it has partnered with SQUARE ENIX to bring the legendary RPG IP, Dungeon Siege, to The Sandbox gaming metaverse. The collaboration comprises two complementary parts. The first will deliver a Dungeon Siege LAND on Square Enix's estate with interactive RPG experiences players can enjoy while learning best practices for constructing Dungeon Siege adventures. The second will make Dungeon Siege voxel characters and items available for players and creators to incorporate into their unique experiences using The Sandbox's free VoxEdit and Game Maker #nocode creation tools.
To showcase the partnership announcement, The Sandbox today released a sneak peek at how Dungeon Siege IP will appear in voxel form:
Dungeon Siege is an award-winning RPG franchise set in the medieval kingdom of Ehb. The series, which follows a young farmer and his companions as they journey to defeat an invading force, has sold over 1.7M copies while inspiring multiple sequels. The game also was popular with the modding community, making it a perfect fit for The Sandbox where players and creators can build experiences on their LANDS using both original and licensed content.
'Dungeon Siege has always been about inspiring adventure and entering The Sandbox metaverse to empower players to craft their own personal adventures opens an exciting new chapter for the franchise,' said Hideaki Uehara, Director of Business Development of Square Enix. 'We're looking forward to seeing Dungeon Siege come to life in The Sandbox, powered by the inspiration of RPG fans.'
'The RPG category is one of the most dynamic and popular segments of The Sandbox, making the Dungeon Siege IP a perfect fit for our community,' said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. 'Through the Dungeon Siege experience on Square Enix's estate, players will be able to undertake a curated adventure that will help prepare them to create their own original quests inspired by the classic games, carrying forward the franchise's legacy. This creative circular energy is what The Sandbox is all about.'
'Dungeon Siege is one of the most legendary RPG franchises of all time and we're excited to work with Square Enix to put characters, items, and props from its fantasy world into the hands of players and creators in The Sandbox,' said Bertrand Levy, VP Global Partnerships of The Sandbox.
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. Square Enix's Dungeon Siege joins over 200 existing partnerships including Warner Music Group, Ubisoft, The Rabbids, 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.
