    According to CNBC, Improbable, the development company behind Yuga Labs' metaverse Otherside, which acquired multiplayer game service company The Multiplayer Group (MPG) in 2019, has sold it to Keywords Studios for £76.5 million (approximately $97.1 million).Improbable co-founder and CEO Herman Narula said the deal is part of its "venture investment" strategy, which involves investing in or acquiring teams related to gaming and metaverse, and choosing to expand or split these teams later.
