Ethereum gaming metaverse platform The Sandbox will launch its Alpha Season 5 on Monday, March 31, bringing a number of new game experiences tied to major franchises.

The six-week gaming event will introduce over 40 new games from an array of brands and franchises, including Jurassic World, Teletubbies, Atari, Attack on Titan, Terminator: Dark Fate, and Hellboy.

As Decrypt previously reported, the season's flagship experience, Jurassic World: Dinosaur Preserve, invites players to manage a dinosaur sanctuary, offering a blend of conservation simulation and adventure inspired by the film franchise.

"Alpha Season 5 marks the beginning of a new era for The Sandbox as we take a major step in growing into a more mature, always-on, live services model," said The Sandbox COO Sebastien Borget, in a statement. "Players can expect to enjoy a huge variety of new and updated games from their favorite brands and franchises."

The platform will distribute up to $1 million in SAND token rewards through a free seasonal battle pass, allowing players to unlock exclusive digital equipment. The season also includes the limited-edition Jurassic World Dinosaur Egg event, where players can hatch and grow rare species like Triceratops and Velociraptors.

As previously announced, the Alpha Season 5 launch also brings technological enhancements with Game Maker 0.11, letting builders further customize their games with more realistic avatar animations and expanded mobility features, including flying and double jumping.
