Blockchain-based virtual world The Sandbox announced partnership with Standard Chartered bank among other players for the second phase of the metaverse Mega City.

A subsidiary of Animoca Brands announced a series of new partners for the second phase of Hong Kong’s cultural hub in the metaverse – Mega City 2.

The second phase of project has attracted players across different sectors such as tourism, hospitality, culture, media, education, banking, investment, music, and entertainment.

Animoca Brands revealed the names of the new entrants in the Mega City’s expansion into the second phase: Standard Chartered, Ocean Park, Regal Hotels Group, Tatler Asia, EVI, Brinc, MADworld, Gameone, Chord Hero, Time Gates of Hong Kong Pop Culture, and UFO School.

Sebastien Borget, Co-founder and COO of Animoca Brands commented:

“Our new partners bring some of the best of what makes Hong Kong a multi-cultural, vibrant city while sharing our creative vision of building an open metaverse. They are reinventing themselves and innovating through The Sandbox platform to offer unique virtual experiences.”

The Sandbox is also planning to roll out a new LAND Sale on April 28 to enable players to purchase LANDs and become a part of the Mega City neighborhood.

The latest development comes three months after the metaverse platforms first announced the creation of the first phase of Mega City, with the goal to expand Hong Kong’s culture into a metaverse.

The Sandbox has signed partnerships with some of the heavy-weights of Hong Kong across various industries such as film, music, entertainment, acting, professional services and gaming.
