I look forward to collaborating with the team, empowering individuals and communities to take better control of their collective futures and experiences, and interact with each other in ways not previously possible,” Hugo said in a statement shared with Coinspeaker.

Metaverse-related development has been on the horizon for quite a lot of brands lately.
