Harmonic Collaboration with Warner Music
This venture marks a significant collaboration between Affyn and Warner Music Singapore, initiated earlier this year with the vision to forge new pathways for artists and gaming aficionados. Adding a melodic touch to the gaming experience, the trailer introduces the theme song for Buddy Arena, which has been intricately composed, co-produced, and performed by Warner Music’s J.M3. This collaboration extends beyond the theme song, with J.M3 embodying the central character in Buddy Arena, adding a layer of excitement and engagement for the players.
Anticipated Musical Contributions
The collaboration between Affyn and Warner Music Singapore further blossoms as J.M3’s latest single “Pick ‘Em Up”, becomes the focal point of the game’s soundtrack. Fans don’t have to wait for the global launch to listen to this sensational piece, as it’s already available on major digital streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. A comprehensive music video encompassing scenes from Buddy Arena is also in the pipeline, set to release alongside the game’s global launch, enhancing the immersive gaming experience with a melodious touch.
Engaging Events on the Horizon
Adding to the buzz, a special event hosted by Affyn is scheduled for September 16th as part of the Grand Prix Season Singapore (GPSS).

This event promises to foster deeper conversations around the convergence of music and gaming in the Web3 space.
Closing Thoughts
The collaboration between Affyn and Warner Music Singapore illustrates the burgeoning potential of merging the gaming and music industries. As the boundaries between various forms of entertainment become increasingly blurred, this initiative represents a promising step towards a harmonized future where technology, music, and gaming coalesce to offer enriched experiences. With the global launch on the horizon, fans and gamers alike can look forward to a multi-dimensional gaming experience, where the thrill of the game meets the enchantment of music.
