Like many other companies, Lego also wants to explore the metaverse. However, they chose to partner with Epic Games to create a safe metaverse experience for children.
On Thursday (7/4), Epic Games and Lego announced this long-term partnership. Its main goal is to create a safer and more fun virtual environment for families and children of all ages.
There is no more detailed information about this, and so far it has only been revealed that they will provide tools for children, which allow them to create and develop 'worlds' in a safe environment.
There are main values that must be followed in this collaboration, which aims to create a safe environment for children.
Protect children's right to play by making safety and health a priority
Protecting children's privacy by putting their interests first
Empowering children and adults with tools that give them the power to control their digital experiences
"Children enjoy playing in the digital and physical worlds and can move seamlessly between the two. We believe there is great potential for them to develop lifelong skills, such as creativity, collaboration and communication through digital experiences," said Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of Lego.
"But we also have a responsibility to keep them safe, to inspire and benefit all. Just as we have protected children's right to the safety of physical play for generations, we are also committed to doing the same for digital games," he added, as quoted by us from Techspot, Friday (8/4/2022).
This partnership between Lego and Epic Games combines the strengths of two companies to produce a creative and entertaining world. Epic Games will provide the technology needed for digital content creation through Unreal Engine 5.
Meanwhile, Lego will bring out its 90 years of expertise and experience in making toys.
