Warner\u2019s The Flash goes Web3, to a lack of applause\u2026<\/h3>\n

Warner Bros.\u2019 nonfungible token (NFT) unit has unveiled a new Web3 experience for the recently released DC Comics superhero movie,\u00a0The Flash, <\/em>which reportedly flopped at the box office. <\/p>\n

According to an announcement from Warner Bros. Digital Collectibles, The Flash Web3 Movie Experience will launch on July 18 and include NFT collections, augmented reality experiences, access to behind-the-scenes content and the entire film in 4K ultra HD, to name a few. <\/p>\n

The project will be hosted on the Eluvio blockchain, which Warner Bros. has used in the past for similar Superman and The Lord of the Rings Web3 experiences. <\/p>\n

The experience is being packaged as part of two different mystery bag editions, Mystery and Premium.<\/p>\n

The Mystery edition will cost $35 and the Premium edition will cost $100, with the latter containing greater benefits and a shot at getting seemingly better NFTs. <\/p>\n

Over on Twitter, the community reaction wasn\u2019t overly enthusiastic.<\/p>\n

So far, Otherside has only been available for a couple of early access trips for the BAYC community, and it remains to be seen when the project will officially launch. <\/p>\n

Providing a little more information, Alegre said that Otherside will \u201cbring communities together\u201d and \u201cbring new and innovative Web3-based experiences starting with gaming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an NFT holder, you will be able to participate in drawing what we\u2019re building, which is this Otherside metaverse,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
