Hell’s Kitchen is produced by ITV Studios and has been nominated five times for coveted Emmy Awards. The show has just entered its 20th season, having traversed 24 territories.
What will this collaboration offer?
Through the collaboration and with input from Gordon Ramsay, Hell’s Kitchen will offer dining experiences on ITV’s LAND in The Sandbox.
The collaboration also plans to offer Hell’s Kitchen themed items, including limited edition Gordon Ramsay avatars at a later date. Players and creators will be able to use those items to build their own experiences, including creating dishes and food recipes, among others, according to a post announcing the partnership on Medium.
“There’s nothing more exciting to me than chartering new territory, whether it’s creating a signature dish, a new restaurant concept, a new show, or now a virtual experience in The Sandbox,” Gordon Ramsay said. “I’ve been fascinated by The Sandbox and its offering in the metaverse. I couldn’t think of a better platform to bring the high energy of my Hell’s Kitchen restaurant and brand.”
Hell’s Kitchen joins several leading brands that have jumped on the metaverse bandwagon with The Sandbox. U.S. rapper and recording artist Snoop Dogg has his Snoopverse at The Sandbox, while Adidas, the Smurfs, Gucci, Binance, Lionsgate and Bored Ape Yacht Club, among others, are also residents.
The platform has already announced partnerships with global entertainment giants Square Enix, South Korea’s Cube Ent and Warner Music Group, in a long list of mainstream brands that have moved into the metaverse.
