Oberhasli is a new video game that's being created by Deadmau5 and it's described as a "virtual world and music experience" where fans can experience creations and interact with curated content from the producer, DJ and Grammy-nominated electronic artist. As Deadmau5 told Digital Trends, "The long-term goal is that players are going to be able to squad up or come in solo and be in instances of a performance where I’m actually there performing live."
Over the last year, musicians have made big changes to the way they reach their audiences virtually and this environment promises to capture the interests of fans who want to be totally immersed in the world of Deadmau5. The game is set to launch on free game creation platform Core.
