Валмарт улази у метаверзум са Роблок-ом
The retail giant is testing out new ground in online gaming platform Roblox in an effort to reach more and new customers. Roblox is a non-blockchain gamified virtual world with over 52 million daily users, mostly children.
Валмарт најавила on Tuesday that it launched two virtual experiences within Roblox — Walmart Land and Walmart’s Universe of Play.
Walmart Land features a store of virtual merchandise, or “verch,” to dress up users’ avatars, a ferris wheel, and minigames that earn players tokens and badges. It also has plans to host a music festival in October.
On the other hand, the Universe of Play intends to be a virtual toy destination so that users can collect products and characters from franchises such as L.O.L. Surprise!, Jurassic World, Paw Patrol, Magic Mixies and Razor Scooters — all in time for the holidays.
The company even changed its Twitter profile picture and banner to depict Walmart Land.
