Yuga Labs, the company behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT project, showcased a new part of their upcoming metaverse game called Otherside. The exclusive event allowed around 40 NFT owners and superfans to test out a 3D space that recreated the Bored Ape vibe. The game is based on Yuga Labs' popular Bored Ape profile pictures and will eventually allow owners to build and co-create in the persistent online world. The event showcased the excitement of Ape holders seeing a virtual rendering of their NFT avatar, and Yuga Labs plans to roll out playable Otherside avatars of the entire Bored Ape Yacht Club collection. The demo demonstrated that Otherside is being built to turn the concepts and ideas around the valuable NFT property into an immersive world, with potential for other projects and creators to create their own custom experiences.

Yuga Labs, the creator of Bored Ape Yacht Club, is working on scaling its Otherside game world from last year's massive NFT land drop and $1.25 billion worth of trading volume to date into a robust online world filled with Bored Ape-themed storytelling, social gameplay challenges, and NFT avatars of all kinds roaming the land. Yuga Labs is grappling with how to maintain the density of activity in the game world as it keeps testing and building towards a live product. The company plans to allow for more visits with a more regular schedule of tests and to open up the world to other builders by the end of this year, enabling the creation of user-generated content that will live on Otherdeed land plots and supplement Yuga's own work on the world.
