Music streaming giant Spotify (disclosure, listening to something called ‘Flare of Defiance’ on the service right now, thanks Discover Weekly*) and kid-entertaining giga-giant Roblox have teamed up for a new location in-game known as Spotify Island. It’s designed as a place for fans and artists to mix and mingle, with two-way communication, and for quests, items, and more relating to the bands to be available. So far, two groups have been announced as taking part.
Exaggeratedly described as a “paradise of sound” in the press release, it’s designed to be “a wonderland of sounds, quests, and exclusive merch.” In gameplay terms, it’s a lot of exploring, finding easter eggs, messing around with sounds, and doing quests. There’s a chart system for collecting points through doing activities and various sub-islands dedicated to specific genres or bands.
