Since uWorld is still under development, we can only got screenshot from its website. It is expected that uWorld will start its private test in coming December. However, in China’s virtual world market, Hipihi is the market leader so far, it just announced a partnership with Millions of Us, an agency specializing in virtual worlds, to help global brands engage Chinese consumers through virtual campaigns inside Hipihi. Novoking is also very impressive by its private test, it has potential to become a big challenger to Hipihi. What will uWorld bring to us? We will keep close eyes on its development.
