Everdome, a metaverse project by Metahero, is all set for the first phase of its mission to Mars and announced the mountainous region of Hatta in Dubai, UAE as its launch site.
A newly-released footage gives users a taste for what’s to come, exploring the spawn and launch rooms with expansive views of the launch site brought to life by the Unreal Engine 5-powered game.
Set to launch in three phases throughout 2022, Everdome will take users on a journey from planet Earth to Mars.
Phase 1 includes the pre-launch phase, set in Hatta, during which users can explore the launch room and learn more about space exploration and the journey to come. Phases 2 and 3 continue the Everdome journey, from mission launch and life aboard the vessel, through to landing and settling on Mars.
Rob Gryn, CEO and Founder, Everdome and Metahero, said, “Our goal is to introduce the metaverse to the public in a way that it can be understood by everyone. We’re making considered decisions to open the metaverse gateway as wide as possible, removing as many accessibility limitations as we can.
