LET'S ALL GO TO THE MOVIES: Yuga Labs Invites All Of Crypto To The World Premiere Of Its First Otherside Mini Documentary!

From the swamp to the silver screen!

Otherside's first year as an always on metaverse is getting the Hollywood treatment as Yuga Labs invites all of crypto to ape into The Nexus tomorrow for the world premiere of its first mini documentary.

“This Friday at 12PM ET, we're celebrating 1 year of Otherside with a mini doc premiere in The Nexus featuring some of the biggest moments this past yea,” Yuga Labs announced. “Come for the film, stay for the vibes and prizes. “

 

 

While Yuga Labs hasn't revealed exactly what the documentary will cover, it's safe to assume it will revisit many of the biggest moments from Otherside's first year as an always on world.

As the Gazette previously reported, on July 25, 2025, the Bored Ape Yacht Club hosted its very first Meet at the Clubhouse inside Otherside Bubbles, where the team announced that Otherside would officially become an always on metaverse that anyone could pop into and explore!

 

“We are just going to leave it on,”  Yuga Labs’ then Chief Product Officer turned CEO Michael Figge said. “That means whether its later today or tomorrow, a couple days from now, we are just leaving this exact set up on.”

 

Back then, the metaverse was a much smaller place. Only Apes and Voyager robots could enter,  the Swamp was the only land, and their wasn’t much to do.

But that was just the beginning.

Just days after the persistent world went live, community members GSpot, MoreThanHype, Makaveli, and Honey B started what would become the now iconic weekend tradition known as Other Games, which invited everyone and anyone to ape in, have some fun, and maybe win some prizes!

 

“We're doing this to have more fun experiences in the world of building experiences,” Honey B told the Gazette at the time. “To get more people coming back to Otherside and being creative themselves and really to build up the community and culture of ApeChain."

In the weeks and months that followed, Otherside changed a lot!  Hundreds of NFT collections made their way into the metaverse, Command Line released its games Bathroom Blitz and Outbreak, and Yuga Labs unveiled an entirely new world known as the Nexus, complete with mini games, daily challenges, and a cinematic introduction for new players.

 

 

The Gazette will be grabbing a Diet Coke, a bucket of popcorn, and a front row seat inside The Nexus for Friday's documentary premiere, and will bring you a full review of the film and everything else that happens during the event tomorrow night. Stay tuned for updates!
