Paris Hilton’s 11:11 Media has partnered with Animoca Brand’s Sandbox to introduce Parisland, a romantic adventure experience in the metaverse. Beginning on February 13th, players will have the opportunity to take part in a metaverse dating reality show hosted by the Hollywood star.
In anticipation of this year’s Valentine’s Day, Paris Whitney Hilton, a well-known American socialite and media personality, has collaborated with The Sandbox to unveil an exciting new metaverse adventure for more thrills and enjoyment.
Dubbed Parisland, this innovative platform will enable participants to engage in various activities with up to five romantic partners in the metaverse, such as choosing wedding rings and attire, interacting with other contestants, and more.
While Paris Hilton initially ventured into the world of cryptocurrency during the ICO frenzy of 2016/2017, she and her 11:11 Media company made their metaverse debut with the launch of Paris Hilton World in Roblox in 2021.
Despite concerns about regulations and the rise of virtual world crime, the metaverse trend remains incredibly popular, defying the current downturn in the crypto market. Recent reports indicate that blockchain games with a metaverse theme raised over $1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2022 alone.
In recent months, several well-known real-world companies have embraced the metaverse trend, including mobile phone manufacturer Nokia, which now offers assistance to workers in beer breweries and aircraft engineers through the metaverse.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), a crucial component of the metaverse, have experienced a resurgence in 2023 following a significant drop in trading volume caused by the crypto winter and widespread FUD stemming from the FTX scandal.
As reported by crypto.news on February 8th, popular NFT collections such as Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks, which recently launched on the Bitcoin blockchain, achieved their first million-dollar NFT sales in 2023.
On February 9th, Shemaroo, a prominent Indian entertainment company, revealed plans to launch its NFT marketplace named Virtasy.io on Polygon.
