As part of Gamescom's Opening Night Live event, DJ Deadmau5 announced an ambitious-sounding project called Oberhasl1, which seems to be his take on the metaverse. The DJ also confirmed that the actual and accurate way to pronounce Deadmau5 is dead-mau-five.

Oberhasl1 is a social hub inside the world of Core--a game-building tool--"for Deadmau5 fans to come and hang out with their friends, cross-communicate, and just have a good time with various activities" he said, pronouncing Deadmau5 as dead-mouse and contradicting himself.

"We're going to offer interactive concert experiences. We've seen virtual concerts. We've been there. We've done that. There was no shelf life to it. So the future plans for Oberhasl1 switching it up and keeping it cohesive with real world events," he added.

Oberhasl1 will feature events that are tied to what's happening with Deadmau5's music and tour in real life, though it's not exactly clear what that means. Deadmau5, whose real name is Joel Zimmerman, said Oberhasl1 will be the "gateway to the brain of Joel in the world of Core."
