Decentral Games, the world’s first community-owned metaverse casino, and Amnesia, the internationally renowned club with over 40 years of history, have announced an agreement to develop the Amnesia Ibiza club in the metaverse. The Amnesia Ibiza club, powered by Decentral Games, will bring the Amnesia Ibiza experience from the real world to the virtual world. Without needing to be in Ibiza themselves, electronic dance music fans from all over the world can look forward to partying and socializing at three new Amnesia dancefloors – Amnesia Experience and Amnesia Hype, in the metaverse.

The Amnesia Ibiza digital club, promoted by Decentral Games, will have 3 spaces:
– The Iconic Terrace, where users can move around one of the best and most recognized dance floors in the world, listen to music or watch live streaming sessions from Ibiza

– The Museum, where the user can enjoy music and visual content of the history of Ibiza, flyers, paintings and even clubber clothes; both from current and previous years

– And a third space called the “Amnesia Arena”, will accommodate new talents, concerts or other special shows

Decentral Games also plans to develop an Amnesia store within the metaverse club to offer exclusive NFTs, ranging from electronic music, DJ’s autographs,art pieces to in-game wearables people can wear in the metaverse. These limited edition NFT wearables will be produced in collaboration with celebrity DJs and producers, appealing to music fans who are interested in digital collectibles from their favourite artists. These NFT wearables also allow Decentral Games members to earn extra $DG token rewards when they wear them while playing games in Decentral Games. Decentral Games community members can also expect regular auctions of exclusive NFTs during the music events. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to organizations that support new talents living in regions of the world where they have little access to avenues for monetizing their own music.

The pandemic is driving demand for alternative entertainment as there is no certainty when governments worldwide can put COVID-19 under control despite the availability of vaccines. “There’s a shift in how people attend music events these days. We have seen an increase in individuals joining our Decentral Games community when we held our recent event featuring DJ NIGHTMRE’s live performance. Our next event for the launch of our latest casino, Atari themed casino featuring platinum-selling DJ ,Dillon Francis’ live performance is expected to break the record number of users,” said Decentral Games’ founder/ CEO, Miles Anthony. “Bringing such an established name from the entertainment industry onto the metaverse is very exciting for us,” Decentral Games’ director of Investor Relations, Gabriel Mellace added. “This partnership is a move that is bound to breathe new air to both parties, which is expected to not just add value to user experience but also to overall market worth.”

“This partnership with Decentral Games will bring a piece of the heart of Amnesia and Ibiza into the homes of our fans, allowing them to recreate a unique experience through the 3D metaverse environment of Decentral Games. We have always focused on offering our clients the best party of their lives, now with the pandemic we must try to bring a little piece of Ibiza to each home wherever they are.” said Sergi Blaya, Brand Manager at Amnesia

The virtual launch of Amnesia Ibiza’s metaverse club is expected to be in June. Amnesia is preparing a line-up of world-famous DJs and artists, to be announced later. There will also be exclusive meet and greet opportunities for $DG holders with these artists. $DG is Decentral Games’ governance token which $DG holders own the rights to propose and vote on key decisions that shape the future of Decentral Games.
