FROM SOON TO NEXT WEEK: : The Koda Home World Of Nexus Opens In The Otherside On November 12th!

It’s about to be a Nexus November in the Yugaverse as Voyagers get ready to break on through to the Koda home world on November 12th!

From Nexus soon to Nexus next week, things are anything but boring around the Otherside as Yuga Labs prepares to open the ancestral home of the Kodas, which is being described as the “living center of Otherside.”

 

“For years you’ve seen tests,” Yuga Labs’ Michael Figge said during his keynote speech at ApeFest. “A cinematic here, a test there. Otherside’s been in pre-release since July. A preview of a living world with scales, story, and real utility. Its one of the most ambitious project’s ever attempted in this space and its shaping up. In fact, the Koda Nexus, which is the living center of Otherside, is going to be going live on November 12th.”

 

 

As Apes, Kodas, Voyagers, and more wait to step foot on the Nexus next week, we actually already know quite a bit about this world and have been getting glimpses of it since September 2022, when Yuga Labs released its Before Curtis Otherside trailer.

 

Over the years, we’ve learned that the Koda home world is built atop a Chaos Otherdeed, features fragments from every Otherside environment, includes portals that connect to different realms, contains Koda only areas similar to how the Swamp has the Apes only Bored Ape Yacht Club, and will play a huge role in the metaverse’s first time user experience onboarding.

“Think of Nexus as the ancestral home of the Kodas, with an enormous Koda temple at its center,” Yuga Labs CEO Garga wrote in January 2025. “It’s the central hub for all Otherside, connecting realms and biomess through a vast network of portals. in its prime, Nexus was illuminated by Soma, which is the creation energy you saw Blue bottling up in the Otherside B.C. trailer but chaos, the other energy we see in the trailer and throughout Otherside, has really fucked the place up these days.... it is a Chaos environment but a major city similar to Meetropolis. it's near the site of the temple we see in the second Otherside trailer."

 

Most recently, Garga shared a video of a 3D modeled HV-MTL exploring the Nexus, and it looks insane.

 

In the clip, we see seven distinct regions of Nexus, each pulling inspiration from different Otherside biomes. Check them out below:
