Earlier this week, LEGO and Epic Games (Fortnite) have agreed to launch a metaverse for kids.
In a press release published on March 7, the two firms indicate that their teams are working on a virtual world for the little ones. The metaverse will allow children to play on a secure platform, they add.
For the moment, the two companies have not yet revealed the shape of their future metaverse. But they keep insisting on the safety of this future platform.
LEGO and Epic Games want to create a metaverse “ fun and entertaining “to offer children” amazing play opportunities in a safe and positive space “, explain the two companies in their press release.
The LEGO and Epic Games teams will work together to develop a metaverse that will also protect children’s personal data. Moreover, their parents will have access to all the tools necessary to control the digital experience of their children.
« We have a responsibility to create a safe, inspiring and beneficial place for all. Just as we’ve protected children’s rights to safe physical play for generations, we pledge to do the same for digital play. “, says Niels B Christiansen, the boss of LEGO.
