Apple's most anticipated event, WWDC23, will take place early tomorrow morning, where Apple is expected to announce its first augmented reality/virtual reality headset. This marks a significant step toward the metaverse. Since December, the metaverse market has dropped by 96%. Giants like Microsoft, Disney, and Walmart have withdrawn their bets on the metaverse. Yet now, it appears the metaverse narrative is set for a revival. Below are seven projects worth watching when the metaverse narrative returns:

The Sandbox Game

The Sandbox Game ($SAND) is one of the earliest metaverse projects, and its current price is down approximately 96% from its all-time high.

ATH: $8.40; Market Cap: $1,069,440,092.

Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity ($AXS) is one of the most famous P2E games, and its app recently launched on the Apple App Store. I believe it has strong potential to surge as hype builds. It is currently down approximately 95% from its all-time high.

ATH: $164; Market Cap: $832,099,151.

Decentraland

Decentraland ($MANA), like $SAND, was once one of the hottest metaverse tokens. The upcoming metaverse wave could bring solid liquidity to this project. It is currently down approximately 90% from its all-time high.

ATH: $5.85; Market Cap: $899,089,794.

Wilder World

Wilder World ($WILD) is a visually impressive metaverse game that is about to publicly unveil its new technology, Wilder AR. It is currently down approximately 93% from its all-time high.

ATH: $7.44; Market Cap: $131,453,583.

Vulcan Forged

Vulcan Forged ($PYR) is an NFT gaming studio, marketplace, and dApp incubator performing exceptionally well within the metaverse narrative. It is currently down approximately 93% from its all-time high.

ATH: $49.24; Market Cap: $82,771,349.

Render

Render ($RNDR), as the name suggests, is a rendering provider for the metaverse, offering decentralized GPU-based rendering solutions. It is currently down approximately 70% from its all-time high.

ATH: $8.78; Market Cap: $983,124,335.

Highstreet World

Highstreet World ($HIGH) is a P2E NFT game within the metaverse, where in-game items offer real-world utility. The project is relatively new, having launched in 2023, so there is no market cap data available yet. Investing carries higher risk but also potentially very high returns.
