It will fundamentally change how we work, play and interact with each other in the future, and we will be leading the Metaverse conversation," added Mr. Dawalibi.

"The intersection of gaming and culture is a subject that I am passionate about. Society is evolving, and it's time to create content that reflects how media is actually being consumed by a new generation of gamers. I will strive to explore the emerging Metaverse and how it will change the real world and impact our culture and society," said Jimmy Mondal.
