"Hadean's computing power will provide the infrastructure needed as we work to create the metaverse," said Marc Petit, VP, Epic's Unreal Engine Ecosystem.

Petit also said that the Hadean technology that complements Epic Games' Unreal Engine allows a large number of users to use it simultaneously and unlocks new tools for creators and developers.

"Hadean's mission is to bridge the physical and virtual worlds to help us make better decisions and ultimately improve the quality of our lives in the physical world," said Craig Beddis, Co-Founder and CEO of Hadean.

Beddis believes that mass adoption of the metaverse will depend on the ease with which content creators can build their own experiences at scale by leveraging the open and powerful technology of metaverse as a service.

Previously, Hadean had developed the metaverse component and signed multi-year agreements with Minecraft, Pixelynx, Sony, and Gamescoin.
