The Sandbox, a blockchain gaming platform and producer of the popular battle royale game Fortnite has partnered with Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor to develop Metal-Themed Knotverse. The virtual reality (VR) experience will allow players to take part in an immersive journey through Slipknot’s tenth studio album ‘All Hope Is Gone’.
The “sandbox” is a new game from Slipknot, the band that has been at the forefront of heavy metal since their inception. The game will launch on September 11th and will be available for free to download on iOS, Android, and PC.
Metal is coming to the metaverse, so get out the Marshall stacks and crank everything up to eleven. Slipknot, the pioneers of loudness, has teamed up with The Sandbox for an epic celebration of all things noisy.
Slipknot will collaborate with the massive voxel realm to create the Knotverse, complete with their own music event curating tool, Knotfest. As a result, metalheads may assemble and explore a wild and amazing dark carnival-themed place.
Fans of heavy metal may participate in a variety of distortion-fueled adventures inside this spectacular new virtual world. As a result, they can go to genuine concerts, play band-related activities, and hang out with like-minded others.
We’ve partnered with @TheSandboxGame to help create #KNOTVERSE, bringing @KNOTFEST & heavy music fans together from around the globe for one-of-a-kind experiences in the #Metaverse.

In addition, while the trio of organizations prepares for the major celebration of all things metal, interested parties may anticipate an influx of digital material. As a consequence, fans can expect to see one-of-a-kind NFTs, generative collections, collaborations, and amazing wearables on the platform.
All of this adds up to a true social destination for aficionados of the genre, enabling individuals from all over the globe to get together, share experiences, and talk about the newest great sounds. All of this may be done from the comfort of a fascinating new digital realm.
