DeAPlaneta Acquires MetaGuardians

DeAPlaneta Entertainment has acquired MetaGuardians, a collection of metaverse superheroes.

The universe of superheroes, villains, sidekicks and henchmen first appeared as an NFT collection in 2021. DeAPlaneta Entertainment plans to bolster the brand’s position in English-speaking markets and expand the MetaGuardians universe and characters into a global entertainment IP.

The DeAPlaneta Interactive team has developed a story around the project involving the Web3 community and MetaGuardians’ current Discord followers.

The first MetaGuardians launch following its incorporation into the DeAPlaneta Entertainment family will be the forthcoming publication of the first issue of an exclusive six-edition NFT comic book collection.

DeAPlaneta Interactive is also working on a series of short films for release on a range of digital platforms and Discord. Several deals and alliances with strategic partners are in the pipeline and will lead to the creation of both physical and digital licensed Web3 products.

The brand’s forthcoming projects include the development of a new game and an increased presence in all corners of the metaverse.

DeAPlaneta’s acquisition is supported by the project’s original founders and creators: Antubel Moreda, Bernal Moreda and Kiefer Johnston (better known as MaestroH in Discord), who will continue their association with the project.

Anna Campistol Agustí, head of digital at DeAPlaneta Entertainment, said: “One of our goals is to make MetaGuardians a global brand. As a result, DeAPlaneta Entertainment will rely on the support of the international NFT community to build a successful project for the medium- and long-term. Planned MetaGuardians projects include major benefits for this community, which will be key to the brand’s growth and expansion.”

Antubel and Bernal Moreda said: “DeAPlaneta has always been the perfect MetaGuardians partner, thanks to their audiovisual content and licensing experience. We’re really excited to continue working on the brand following its acquisition and to see how our project flourishes in the best possible hands. We will continue our involvement to witness the extraordinary future they will create.”
