Multi-Emmy Award-winning animation studio Baobab Studios will launch its latest metaverse Momoguro game - Momo Quest, on the Roblox game platform this summer. The platform reportedly boasts more than 58 million daily active users and 13.4 billion hours of user engagement per quarter.

The company, which creates story franchises across film, TV, games, and book publishing that has attracted talent including Oprah Winfrey, John Legend and Ali Wong, also announced plans to expand its successful metaverse IP into film and TV. Its executive board includes Pixar co-founder Ed Catmull and Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin; Disney, Samsung, and Comcast are among its investors.

Baobab also recently shared its collaboration with Disney+ to adapt its IP into animated series, including The Witchverse, based on the Emmy Award-winning VR film Baba Yaga, and its workplace comedy Intercats. The latter is also in development as a graphic novel series at First Second Books / MacMillan Publishing.

“Roblox is a perfect platform to create experiences that allow players to connect through gaming in immersive worlds with great stories and characters, and which blend gaming with best-in-class storytelling in immersive worlds,” commented Baobab Studios CEO and Co-founder Maureen Fan. “Bringing our game to the platform first reflects its ubiquitous presence and growing hold in pop culture today.”

Baobab Studios shared that the company “views the metaverse and Roblox in particular as the next step in its journey to continue to engage audiences through storytelling and leverage a new community of global fans.”
