<p>“We are also confident that Epic’s expertise, including their powerful game engine, combined with Sony’s technologies will accelerate our diverse efforts such as the development of new digital fan experiences in esports and our virtual production initiatives.”</p>
<p>Tim Sweeney, CEO and Founder of Epic Games added, “As we reinvent the future of entertainment and gaming, we need partners who share our vision. We found this in our partnership with Sony and KIRKBI.</p>

KIRKBI, the company behind LEGO, also invested $1 billion just days after Epic Games and The LEGO Group announced a new collaboration to create a kid-friendly space within the metaverse.
Epic Games announced its intentions in the Metaverse last April when Sony made its initial $200 million investment, saying it wanted to expand the social experiences in its games while supporting the people who make them.
The metaverse it hopes to create, backed with these billion-euro investments from Sony and KIRKBI, is all about interconnectivity. Sweeney has previously said that he hopes big tech forms will start dividing the digital space more and more to create a fluid online experience for its consumers.
His company isn’t the only gaming giant investing in the Metaverse, however, as PUBG: Battlegrounds developer Krafton recently partnered with other tech firms to develop their own NFT-based version, while Bandai offered Namco $130 for will publish its “IP metaverse”.
