Aurora World Collaborates on NFT Commercialization with P2E Game 'ShipFarm in MetaLand'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Global character toy and content company Aurora World and the Clayton-based P2E game ‘Sheepfarm in Meta-land’ announced on the 10th that they have signed a business agreement.

‘Sheepfarm in Meta-land,’ which announced a partnership with Aurora World, is an upcycle project that re-releases a new game using resources from the original game called ‘Sheepfarm in Sugarland.’ The original game was a social game already serviced in Korea in 2010 through Nate App Store, and in 2014, it was also released as a mobile game version ‘for Kakao.’

Users in ‘Sheepfarm in Meta-land’ can purchase pastureland in a metaverse based on real New Zealand, raise sheep, harvest wool to earn in-game currency, and engage in various activities such as breeding sheep to obtain new ones. Since the 7th, a presale event for purchasing pastureland on Stewart Island has been underway, and the early access version of the game for presale participants is scheduled to be released next month.

No Jaeyeon, CEO of Aurora World, stated, “We plan to collaborate on developing NFTs (non-fungible tokens) used in the ‘Sheepfarm in Meta-land’ game into physical figures with high collectible value.” Nightingale Interactive, the developer of ‘Sheepfarm in Meta-land,’ plans to release companion sheep as digital NFTs, which can be used not only to manage a virtual sheep farm and generate profits (P2E) within the game but also to be received as physical figures with rarity and collectible value.

At a time when many investors are raising questions about the real value of NFTs, which have recently become a hot keyword, the collaboration between Aurora World and the blockchain game developer is meaningful in that it enables NFTs to be practically used within the game while simultaneously providing exchange value as collectible physical figures.
