Warner Music Singapore has entered a partnership with Singapore-based Web3 company Affyn to explore the potential of Web3 gaming for musicians. Warner will produce a bespoke song for Affyn’s new game, which will feature a main character played by musician J.M3 via an Avatar in the game’s trailer. Affyn aims to create an immersive audio-visual experience for fans, and the new game will be launched later this year. The deal with Warner Music Singapore is part of Affyn’s Evolution keynote event on 10 May. Warner Music Singapore hopes to broaden its reach through collaboration with Affyn, according to Gerald Ang, the managing director. Affyn is a blockchain-powered company whose focus is on building a multiplayer Metaverse that links to other games.
