The Sandbox and Playboy collaboration builds upon Playboy’s innovative work in Web3. Playboy entered the Web3 space in the spring of 2021 with its genesis NFT drop called Liquid Summer, a collection of digital artworks created by reimagining works from Playboy’s 10-million piece archive of content. The Liquid Summer collection, created in collaboration with artist Slimesunday, sold out in under three minutes. In October 2021, Playboy released its first avatar-based NFT collectibles project, the Playboy Rabbitars. Owners of Rabbitars and The Sandbox LAND owners will have access to special experiences in Playboy’s branded experience in The Sandbox.   

 

“We’re thrilled to work with The Sandbox and its best-in-class design and development team to build a premium, customized Playboy gaming and social experience in the metaverse,” said Rachel Webber, Playboy’s Chief Brand & Strategy Officer. “We can’t wait to invite our global Playboy fanbase, and in particular our Rabbitar community and The Sandbox LAND owners, into this new immersive world of Playboy.”

 

For nearly 70 years, Playboy has created groundbreaking experiences in entertainment, gaming, art and celebrity, and The Sandbox provides a dynamic platform for a next wave of innovation. 

 

"Playboy is emblematic for its charm, lifestyle, and entertainment content that has transcended generations and that has already stepped into Web3 with early success,” said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “We’re pleased to bring its rich archive of content into the metaverse and enable true fans to become virtual neighbors of this iconic brand during a future upcoming LAND sale in Q3 2022."

 

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. In the blockchain game platform, players can create digital assets for unique in-game experiences. In addition to community-created games and assets, The Sandbox has partnered with over 300 top companies and brands to help bring them into the metaverse.

 

More information on Playboy’s “MetaMansion” experience in The Sandbox will be shared in coming months.
