Virtual gaming world The Sandbox announced that Rodolphe Recca has joined the organization as Lead Product Owner and Creative Director.

An outspoken, accomplished veteran in the games industry since 1997, Rodolphe brings a distinguished career as Lead UI, Game Director and Chief Project Game Designer in an array of pertinent companies including Ubisoft, Beenox-Activision, THQ, Delphine Software, Carapace and Behaviour.

The Sandbox is a unique virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences using NFTs. These NFTs come in the form of SAND, ASSETs, and LAND. SAND is the currency used within The Sandbox which can be used to purchase ASSETs. ASSETs, are tokens serving as creation elements in The Sandbox Game Maker and are used on LAND, the digital real estate in this metaverse. These components of The Sandbox work in concert to allow players create digital assets in the form of NFTs, upload them to the marketplace, and integrate them into games using the #nocode Game Maker.

“We’re thrilled to announce Rodolphe Recca is joining The Sandbox to lead the vision of two of our core products: our no-code Game Maker and the game client for players. Rodolphe is a true gaming veteran with a rich background in a variety of brands and game genres. His work has been primed several times, with a more recent award on Far Cry 5. We have no doubts he is the right guy to  take The Sandbox to the level of expectations creators and game studios need to build fun & engaging experiences in the Metaverse” said Sebastien Borget, COO & Co-Founder of The Sandbox.

“I’m honoured to join The Sandbox at such an exciting time, and I look forward to helping grow the game and player-base,” said Rodolphe Recca, recently appointed Lead Product Owner and Creative Director of The Sandbox. “I’m humbled to be able to bring my expertise and help The Sandbox creating a Metaverse with NFT that could change people’s lives in a positive way”

The Sandbox is one of the decentralized virtual worlds that has been fueling the recent growth of virtual real-estate demand. The Sandbox has partnered with major IPs and brands including Atari, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Care Bears, The Smurfs, Shaun the Sheep, and Binance, and expands their use in support of good causes. Building on existing The Sandbox IP that has more than 40 million global installs on mobile, The Sandbox NFT Metaverse will offer players and creators a decentralized and intuitive platform to create immersive 3D worlds and game experiences and to safely store, trade, and monetize creations through blockchain.
