Eyes up! Hamilton, the internationally-renowned musical that blends hip-hop and the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, has announced an unexpected partnership.
The musical is the newest property to partner with Super League, which designs immersive digital experiences on metaverse platforms. The result is Hamilton Simulator on Roblox, an online video game platform that allows players to use game mechanics in an endless array of immersive worlds.
Set to the music of Hamilton, Hamilton Simulator drops players in the world of Revolutionary War-era New York, bringing the various locations of the musical to life to be explored. Interactive puzzles and history-themed activities are hidden throughout the game to increase the play aspect outside of the immersive aspect. Check out the trailer above.
“A once-in-a-generation cultural touchstone, Hamilton has expanded horizons and entertained legions of global fans, and now will be introduced to the massive global audience in the immersive world on Roblox,” said Matt Edelman, President and Chief Commercial Officer for Super League. “We are grateful to the creators for allowing us to bring the music and majesty of Hamilton to an engaged and passionate community on such a powerful platform.”
“This partnership highlights the creativity and limitless fun made possible by artistic collaboration across mediums,” adds Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda. “I can’t wait to see how people will shape their own adventures, forge new connections, and experience Hamilton in an entirely new and interactive way with Roblox.”
