Summer is almost here – and what better way to start things than with a Metaverse-wide block party? From June 4th to June 20th, Roblox invites Xbox gamers from around the world to an epic virtual celebration inspired by the highly anticipated movie In the heights.
Brought to life by Hamilton Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and visionary director Jon M. Chu, In the heights Tells the story of how a vibrant neighborhood unites to keep their dreams alive. The musical features incredible performances that mix Latin, hip-hop and rap influences to convey a universal message of hope, family and togetherness. It’s the perfect setting for an uplifting and connecting event that celebrates the power of identity, culture and community like never before.
Based on the larger than life setting of the film, we have recreated a block from the busy Washington Heights district of New York Roblox for this exclusive experience. Fans can let off steam, share a good mood with friends, and choose from a variety of fun activities that celebrate the importance of community as they visit different locations and meet characters from the movie. The experience also includes cool extras like free limited edition emotes that you can use to dance with your Robloxians. Also, don’t miss an exclusive Q&A with the cast of Lin-Manuel Miranda, Anthony Ramos, Jimmy Smits, Dascha Polanco, Melissa Barrera and more!
The experience will be open for two weeks so bring your best and join in before it’s over! Together we can make Roblox very special, just like Washington Heights.
Roblox is a free-to-play title that you can download from the Microsoft Store on Xbox today.
