Players in The Sandbox will be treated to a wide range of experiences from romantic myths about legendary wuxia (martial heroes) to the pursuit of a billion dollars in modern day riches. Popular classic characters from Softstar’s back catalog, including Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling’er, and Lin Yueru from The Legend of Sword and Fairy series, and Sun Xiaomei, Jin Beibei, and Atubo from Richman series, will all be ready to accompany fans during their adventures. 

 

Softstar’s decision to join The Sandbox is warmly welcomed because it represents an important step for a traditional games publisher and underscores the accelerated growth that Web3 and the metaverse are enjoying in this new era. All players and creators in The Sandbox will soon be able to display and utilize in-game assets and Intellectual Property (IP) created by Softstar in the form of original game experiences that are developed as NFTs.

The long-standing success that Softstar has enjoyed will undoubtedly encourage fans and players to create even more original gaming experiences,” said Sebastien Borget, Co-Founder and COO of The Sandbox.
