Everyone’s favourite line of plastic construction toys is making a major investment in the metaverse
Sony and Kirkbi are investing $2 billion in Fortnite maker Epic Games.
Sony will inject $1 billion in the company and the family owned investment company behind Lego, will invest an equal amount.
If this massive deal closes, it would value Epic at over $31 billion dollars
This all comes after Epic and Lego announced plans to make a “family-friendly” metaverse for kids.
Lego already has a successful line of video games based on popular family friendly franchises, like Disney’s Star Wars and Warner Bros.′ Batman.
Epic Games is a video game powerhouse and CEO Tim Sweeney says the fresh funds would help the company “accelerate our work to build the metaverse.”
