FWENCLUB and Yusuke Hanai's latest collaboration! "THE ROAD AND THE SKY BAR & GRILL" welcomes the metaverse
The digital and physical collectible creation platform FWENCLUB today proudly launched the highly anticipated 3D art virtual world - "FWEN METAVERSE"! After more than a year of preparation, the first phase will collaborate with artist Yusuke Hanai to bring a surprise, opening the first area "THE ROAD AND THE SKY BAR & GRILL". The area will be officially unveiled on the FWEN METAVERSE application on February 23.
Following the NFT series launched in collaboration with Yusuke Hanai by FWENCLUB in February last year, the first phase sold out in seconds and attracted over 250,000 members to join the DISCORD community in just a few days. Many celebrity collectors such as KAWS, Jay Chou, and Yusaku Maezawa have also joined, igniting a hot discussion in the community! The two parties officially announced today that they will jointly create a unique virtual world. The team has specially designed over a thousand 3D models to provide players with the ultimate visual experience and bring a new art and social experience to the players.

FWEN METAVERSE: A Fusion of Art and Social Experience in the Open Virtual Art World
FWENCLUB released the exciting news about Yosuke Hanai's new project at the end of last year, and today the two parties officially step into the metaverse! The FWENCLUB 3D virtual art world will be opened in two phases. The first phase will be exclusive to specific communities, including Yosuke Hanai project holders, from February 21 to February 23. The second phase will be open to the public with invitation codes starting from February 23.
Players can follow the official social platforms and DISCORD community to get the unlock methods for "FWEN METAVERSE", where they can engage in an open-world mode and interact with players from around the world through voice, text, and actions in a "zero-distance" manner. The application also features a camera function and allows for a 360-degree adjustment of the screen angle, enabling players to capture photos from different perspectives in the scenes.
The first area to be opened in the "THE ROAD AND THE SKY BAR & GRILL" is a unique region within the FWENCLUB virtual world that reflects Yosuke Hanai's life experiences in his early twenties. Even before the artist released his first NFT series with FWENCLUB, he mentioned working at a now-closed bar, where the good times and experiences he had there became the main inspiration for his later artistic creations.
This release marks the first time the artist has recreated this significant bar in the virtual world.
FWEN METAVERSE Releases Multiple Mini-Games for Exclusive Limited Edition Collectibles
The upcoming "THE ROAD AND THE SKY BAR & GRILL" is primarily divided into two areas - the beach and the bar. Users can first visit the beach and complete tasks by interacting with the Non-Player Character "YETCH" to win game tokens called "beer cans."
After the beach experience, players can continue to explore the second area in the virtual world - "THE ROAD AND THE SKY BAR & GRILL." The team has designed two fun games in the bar - cup pushing and pinball games. Players can also enjoy beer from the bartender, interact with other players, and even "clink glasses" in the virtual world, enhancing the experience through communication.
Step into the Virtual World and Unlock Multiple Rewards!
Benefit 1: Win Yosuke Hanai's Global Limited Edition Signed Glass Bottle Collectible - "BELGIAN"
To celebrate the artist's first foray into the virtual world, FWENCLUB and Yosuke Hanai have collaborated to introduce the global limited edition "BELGIAN" glass bottle collectible. In this collaboration, the artist uses some recycled beer bottles, upgrades and redesigns them, aiming to raise awareness of environmental issues.
The glass bottle and cap are adorned with labels specially drawn by Yosuke Hanai for this project - the phrase "You are the most important person to me all the time" is inscribed, symbolizing that each collector has given the glass bottle a "new life," making it extraordinary. The bottle also includes a handwritten note from the artist saying "Thanks for picking me up."
Players can win this meaningful and fun collectible through games in the FWEN METAVERSE. The glass bottles will be distributed in two phases, with 10 eligible players receiving a "BELGIAN" collectible, each with the artist's signature and a certificate of authenticity with a unique number.

- Material: Upcycled glass bottle
- Size: 6.9 inches tall

Each bottle opener features artwork specially painted by the artist on both sides, with one side holding fresh flowers in harmony with the design of the "BELGIAN" glass bottle. The piece is handcrafted and hand-colored, with a wooden texture and streamlined handle design that injects different aesthetic elements from various angles. Additionally, each bottle opener can stand alone, providing not only practical value but also serving as a collectible and display item for collectors.
