Encrypted walking corpse
The Ethereum-based NFT supermarket “The Sandbox” has teamed up with Skybound Entertainment to bring the Walking Dead game into the virtual world.
The Walking Dead is famous for its TV show, however the story and characters are based on the original comics from Skybound Entertainment.
The sandbox belongs to the NFT real estate and game developer Animoca, who calls it “partly virtual real estate, partly amusement park”. It already has an impressive list of existing partnerships like The Smurfs, Care Bears, Atari, Deadmau5, and CryptoKitties.
“The team will offer users the opportunity to purchase virtual properties near The Walking Dead’s location in the Metaverse so fans and gamers can be closer than ever to their beloved brands,” the July 8 announcement said.
The Walking Dead game will give users the ability to recreate playable stories and use characters from the series like Rick Grimes, create in-game assets, and trade assets on the sandbox marketplace. .
The sandbox supermodel is slated to be unveiled to the alpha public in the summer of 2021, and the virtual land in the game is in great demand. In February, Sandbox generated $ 2.8 million in revenue from two NFT land sales events.

Escape to Mars
A new Mars-themed NFT project called “Mars Escape” is making its first NFT sale through July 26th.
Mars Escape’s theme is centered on “conceptual travel” to the planet, and the platform hopes to introduce users to the planet as a possible avenue for virtual “luxury travel”.
“We envision a world where luxury travel is not restricted by geography and people can access unique experiences from the comfort of their own homes,” the website says.
It teases that with the use of virtual reality, “the possibility of a luxury vacation in space suddenly becomes so much more real …”
Mars Escape NFTs feature room-like bungalows, luxury resorts, motocross events, and in-room butlers with holograms, to name a few.
The project has yet to confirm whether it will be expanded to the full official metaset at this point.
Rounding
Despite the slowdown in the NFT market, Cointelegraph reported July 7th that NFT sales were $ 2.5 billion for the first half of this year, as opposed to $ 13.00 in NFT sales of $ 7 million same period in 2020.
A growing trend this year appears to be television and movie content linked to the NFT, and a new NFT marketplace called “Vuele” announced earlier this month that the platform will host feature film sales.
The film is called “Zero Contact” and the first NFT drop will be shown in late July or early August.
