Miami 2 the Metaverse: Swedish House Mafia Are Coming to Roblox
Never mind Ibiza—Swedish House Mafia are going from Miami 2 the metaverse.
The legendary electronic music group have announced "DJs World: Swedish House Mafia," a virtual music and gaming experience developed for the Roblox platform.
Before you groan at this umpteenth metaverse rave, consider its fringe benefits. A press release shared with EDM.com says the experience "stands in contrast to the raft of virtual concerts" staged in Roblox due to its many interactive layers, like digital fashion collectibles, 3D games inspired by the band's music and a scavenger hunt.
The experience's interactive gaming features are being plugged as its keystone. Each has its own unique functionality designed to move in tandem with the "lyrical and emotional content" of Swedish House Mafia's many iconic songs.
That includes the trio's chart-topping collaboration with The Weeknd, "Moth to a Flame," the gameplay of which beams users into a futuristic forest to glide through the air on a giant moth and gain XP by collecting hearts.
