AO Adventure is a new interactive game created by Roblox and the Australian Open in anticipation of the Grand Slam’s 2023 edition.
The Australian Open (AO) decided to jointly promote this year’s sporting occasion with Roblox, a non-crypto virtual universe. AO Adventure is the name of the video game.
In this game, players explore an online version of the Melbourne park that serves as the Australian Open Park. Users will be welcomed by “humanoid Nick,” a digital avatar of Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios, and have the chance to interact with him. Fans of blockchain and Web3 have a problem because Roblox’s platform is glaringly devoid of any connections.
Users can create their own games for other people to play on the online platform known as Roblox.Due to their decision to use Roblox rather than just Decentraland, Australian Open’s creations will probably be used by the community more.
The Decentraland platform served as the tournament’s preferred platform the previous year. According to data given to Blockworks at the time, the platform was developed by Web3 art studio Run It Wild, and it peaked daily at 5,000 unique visitors.
Decentraland will continue to co-host the online event. However, from January 16 through January 29, local time, it is heavily promoted on the Roblox platform.
Numerous interactive games will be scattered throughout the park, including tennis (single and doubles) on Rod Laver Arena with real people, robots, or even close friends and family.
