ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY) today announced its partnership with 8i, a leading volumetric video company with facilities in Los Angeles, Seoul, Tokyo, Wellington, and Seattle. ePlay will integrate 8i hardware and content used for creating and publishing 3D avatars into ePlay’s sports, esports, and entertainment mobile game platform and Fan Zones. The collaboration increases ePlay’s presence in Los Angeles, dramatically decreases development time for adding celebrities and athletes into Big Shot games, and creates new sponsorship and advertising revenues for the two companies. ePlay recently announced that Big Shot is expected to generate an average esports, and in-app purchase revenue per daily active user (ARPDAU) of USD$1.46. The new features, advertising, and sponsorship revenues from this partnership are expected to add USD$0.03 ARPDAU in 2019 and drive ePlay’s gross margin rate to over 80% in 2020.
