KIRKBI (the firm that owns The Lego Media) as well as Sony Group Corporation each invested $1 billion in Epic Games, according to the business’s announcement. At the outset of the $250 million transactions that took place a couple of years ago, the former officially owns1.4 percent of Epic Games.

Chairman Kenichiro Yoshida thinks that the PlayStation developer is on the right path “to put funds in Epic” to strengthen their “connection in the virtual world industry. ” It is the former’s belief that Sony’s technology and the “expertise” of “Epic” would help the company build “novel virtual fan interactions in games” and “virtual production projects” via this relationship.

According to Epic, the three firms “seek to build innovative communal entertainment exploring the relationship among virtual and genuine domains.” For a while, the public was unaware of the metaverse, but huge financiers are clearly aware of its promise. In the meanwhile, Epic has been especially active on its metaverse ambitions, and we’re eagerly awaiting their fruition.

Earlier this month, Epic Games as well as The Lego Company signed a deal to “create a space for youngsters to interact in the Metaverse.” Consequently, KIRKBI’s investment is understandable. Both companies have committed $2 billion to Epic, but the statement renders it explicit that “CEO and founder Tim Sweeney retains ownership of Epic.”

What Is Metaverse?

In a nutshell, “metaverse” refers to a connected digital environment, and so, it’s not unique. Minecraft as well as Roblox, which offer cooperative gaming in the style of a metaverse, may keep you occupied for a long time. Even farther back, systems like Second Life as well as Habbo Hotel, IMVU, and Club Penguin were all once the talk of the town,

When I couldn’t find genuine relationships in the everyday world, I would travel such crazy virtual realms populated with pixelated characters. It’s not a revolutionary idea, however, the metaverse is taking on various forms, making “Ready Player One” feel like a reality someday. Using Meta’s Oculus Quest 2 headgear, anyone could now communicate with VR enthusiasts all over the globe, from Beijing all the way down to Egypt.

The LED-decorated stadium where I practiced lasers tagging with my American Pals was replete with sharpshooter weapons, rocket launchers, and other weapons. No !! I’m not joking,
