Announced on 2 October, Fast ForWorld will allow users to engage, play, and collect digital Lamborghini cars while earning rewards for participation.
Launching on 7 November, the platform will enable users to buy, sell, and drive digital collectibles across various games within Animoca's Motorverse.
Developed by Gravitaslabs, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, Fast ForWorld will also include a 3D wallet for storing and interacting with digital assets.
Animoca Brands noted:
“These super sports cars will be introduced as interoperable digital assets, accessible across multiple gaming platforms from launch, including Torque Drift 2, REVV Racing, the Motorverse Hub, and Fast ForWorld’s proprietary experience.”
Fast ForWorld will integrate with Animoca's Motorverse, a community focused on digital vehicles and motorsport gaming, offering Lamborghini supercars for virtual use starting in November.
Developed by Gravitaslabs, the platform provides users with a 3D wallet for storing digital items and interactive features to engage with their Lamborghini cars online.
Access to Fast ForWorld requires the digital Revuelto supercar, which acts as a key, and includes a Fast ForWorld Genesis Capsule.
This initiative builds on Lamborghini's ongoing exploration of blockchain technology.
