New partnership creates virtual goods for in-app and NFT sales from limited edition drops

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 18, 2021 /ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY)(OTC PINK:EPYFF)(FSE:2NY2) (the "Company") today announced that it is partnering with Edward Harber, the multi-award winning technical high-performance apparel designer.

"Designing physical apparel for the largest stage, such as the Olympics, is thrilling and challenging," says artist Edward Harber. "Working with ePlay allows me to push the limits of performance in virtual worlds, gaming, and expand a users world from the physical to the virtual and of course, with NFTs, gives access to new digital revenue streams."

The partnership between ePlay and Harber connects the two multi-billion dollar industries of sports apparel and virtual goods where revolutionary design meets digital commerce and physical apparel unlocks digital utility. The collaboration further develops ePlay's franchises, creating blockbusters through e-commerce and interactivity. High performance sports apparel interoperability with programmable media and in-game utility is uniquely possible with ePlay's mobile sports, entertainment, and eSports platform.
