The Sandbox allows builders to access brands like The Smurfs, Care Bears and Atari

Building on the vision to empower UGC through its decentralized ecosystem, The Sandbox has released a major update to its Game Maker creator platform.

Featuring significant improvements to multiplayer modes, with racing being a key focus, the 0.11 update also comes with the addition of pre-made templates and dynamic libraries. It also allows users wider access to content from partner brands including The Smurfs, Care Bears, Atari, and more. With access to such top brands, users have more freedom to integrate instantly recognizable assets into their experiences.

More assets from partner brands’ collections dropping “soon” include Terminator 2042, Playboy, Madballs, Rabbids, MK2, and Jamiroquai.

Shortly following the 0.11 release, on 26th February, The Sandbox is kicking off its recurring creator program, Builders Challenge 3, through which content creators publishing their experiences on The Sandbox lands can earn SAND based on the engagement they generate. Builders Challenge 3 will run for six weeks.

23rd January: Ubisoft’s deep tactical PVP Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles has partnered with The Sandbox to launch its voxel-style Champions Tactics avatar collection in the metaverse.

With 2,000 spots available, users can register for the allowlist between 22-28th January. The public mint takes place 29th January at 2pm GMT.

Allowlisted users will be able to mint their avatars to the price of 170 SAND ($93), after which the public sale starts and the price increases to 180 SAND ($99).

In addition to getting a Champions Tactics avatar, users will also unlock three champions in Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles.
