Hello!
Yuga Labs did a test of its Bored Apes-themed Otherside Metaverse for a handful of NFT holders this week.
The metaverse is designed for players to “decide their fun,” meaning that there is little guidance and players themselves must control their own experiences. Following the launch, users left with mixed reviews of their metaverse escapade.
It is important to note that the Otherside Metaverse is not a “finished product being launched,” meaning the project is still a work in progress.
The point was made in a review by a user that goes by the pseudonym white-house.eth. They said in an X post that their experience in Otherside felt more like a proof of concept than tens of millions of dollars and two years of work.
Despite this, a user by the name of ThePilot.x on X, wrote that the experience had exceeded his expectations.
“Every single part of the APES COME HOME experience was SO much better than I was expecting,” ThePilot.x wrote. “Both my kids played too, one who usually only plays Fortnite, and one who usually only plays Roblox, and they LOVED IT.”
The user added that they were blown away by the graphics and small details in the game, which made the overall experience “ethereal.”
The launch of Otherside Metaverse comes just a week following an exec shakeup at Yuga Labs, where Greg Solano replaced former Activision exec Daniel Alegra as CEO of the company.
Despite mixed reviews and internal politics, the floor price for Apes spiked this week and is currently sitting at 21.99 ETH (approximately $74,449).
