Sandbox is back with its fifth Alpha season, and it’s bringing the big guns, dinosaurs, Terminators, and even Teletubbies.

Starting March 31, this Ethereum-based gaming metaverse is unleashing over 40 new experiences tied to some of the most iconic franchises out there.

If you’ve ever dreamed of managing a dinosaur sanctuary while dodging Velociraptors or hanging out with Hellboy, now’s your chance.

Jurassic World

This six-week extravaganza isn’t just about nostalgia overload. It’s also raining rewards, up to $1 million worth of SAND tokens are up for grabs through a free seasonal battle pass.

That’s right, play your favorite games, unlock exclusive gear, and maybe even hatch a rare Triceratops in the limited-edition Jurassic World Dinosaur Egg event.

Who needs real-world pets when you can raise digital dinos?

Sebastien Borget, COO of The Sandbox, calls this season a new era. Fancy words for what’s essentially a playground upgrade.

But fair enough, dinos are cool, yeah. The platform is shifting gears into a live services model, wanting to keep players glued to their screens with a steady stream of content.

And honestly? With franchises like Atari and Attack on Titan joining the fray, it might just work.

Mario + blockchain

Now let’s talk tech, because what’s a metaverse without some shiny new gadgets?

Builders can rejoice as Game Maker 0.11 rolls out with better avatar animations and mobility features like flying and double-jumping. Think Mario meets blockchain.

No details about magic mushrooms, btw. These updates promise to make creating games on The Sandbox more immersive than ever.

Social VR

For those unfamiliar with The Sandbox, here’s the sauce, it’s a decentralized virtual world where players can buy LAND, as digital real estate, build 3D objects and experiences, and trade assets as NFTs.

Powered by Ethereum, and enhanced by Polygon for smoother gameplay, it’s all about giving creators ownership of their work while letting players monetize their time in-game.

In other words, it’s Minecraft on steroids with crypto.
