PANews reported on October 28th, according to Decrypt, that Yuga Labs announced that Koda Nexus, the core social hub of its Bored Ape Yacht Club-themed metaverse project Otherside, will officially open on November 12th. The hub's openness and social hub are only the first of a three-tiered architecture for the world. Next comes the gaming layer, which will include numerous quests and battles created by developers and independent creators; and the Otherside Development Kit (ODK), a toolset for building and publishing creations within the game world.
Yuga Labs also revealed that Otherside will be featured on the Amazon Games homepage, promoting its metaverse brand to Amazon's millions of users. The company will collaborate with Amazon to launch an exclusive co-branded Voyager character named "Boximus," who can explore the Otherside metaverse. Related merchandise will be available in the Otherside brand store starting Thursday. Yuga has also collaborated with artist Daniel Arsham to launch a limited-edition 300-piece Voyager collection, combining exquisite artwork with interactive digital collectibles that evolve over time.
