Sergio Aguero has teamed up with The Sandbox and Eter Studios to create an immersive metaverse experience called the Kuniverse which will consist of Kuni avatars. Each Kuni avatar has its own unique functionality and can unlock several rewards. Lucky players can get a chance to meet Sergio Aguero in the FIFA World Cup 2022 happening in Qatar, attend esports tournaments and gain access to music events.

The first season of Kuniverse will consist of a virtual football stadium in which players can eat Argentinian food, attend dance parties and play football related games. Kun Aguero will also have an active role in the Kuniverse. He will be involved in the gameplay and will also stream content live on Twitch.
