It's only been a few weeks since deadmau5 launched his own virtual reality game Oberhasli in Core, a new user-generated gaming platform by renowned game developer Manticore Games.
Despite the fact that the Metaverse was graced with a special live performance from Deadmau5 on launch day, Oberhasli isn’t leaving anytime soon. The generational producer has made the decision to stay in the game, choosing to establish a permanent residence in the Metaverse.
This provides fans with a one-of-a-kind and personalized experience unlike any other. While acknowledging the limitations of gaming and technology, the evolution of gaming and technology is opening up many doors and opportunities for artists to interact with their fans; Marshmello’s collaboration with Fortnite is an excellent example. Not to mention that electronic music is the most popular genre among gamers, as evidenced by Monstercat, the world’s largest independent electronic music label, collaborating with Rocket League.
Aside from that, Oberhasli appears in the music video for his recent smash hit with Lights, “When the Summer Dies,” which you can watch below. Oberhasli is currently only available for PC users, but it will be made available on other platforms in the near future.
