Disney is creating its own Metaverse
During the recent Disney earnings call, Chapek mentioned remarked that the leading entertainment and media conglomerate has had a long history of adopting early technologies to enhance entertainment experience in both the physical and digital world. To continue on this record, Chapek hinted they are considering their own Metaverse.
The company said it sees limitless potential with enriching its customer experience on the Metaverse.
“[…]Our efforts to date are merely a prologue to a time when we’ll be able to connect the physical and digital worlds even more closely, allowing for storytelling without boundaries in our own Disney metaverse, and we look forward to creating unparalleled opportunities for consumers to experience everything Disney has to offer across our products and platforms, wherever the consumer may be,” the CEO added.
Top companies in Metaverse
Although the company reported a slowdown in growth with Disney+, the words from Chapek show they are excited about the future of the company with the Metaverse.
Facebook and Nike are some other top companies that recently made a move towards Metaverse. However, many people believe Disney Metaverse announcement is a milestone, and it will drive more awareness to the emerging space.
People have no idea…but Disney getting into this space will drive 100X more awareness than some celeb tossing a punk or ape on their social media pfp. Disney = more worldwide exposure than most other platforms. And people like Disney, more so than Facebook. This is huge.
