Hasbro Inc. launched Sixth Wall, a new AI studio dedicated to bringing iconic characters into the AI era. Hasbro Inc. announced a strategic partnership with ElevenLabs to bring select Hasbro Inc. characters to the company's rapidly growing Iconic Marketplace. Sixth Wall was created to give creators, rights holders, and partners a trusted framework for bringing characters into these new experiences while preserving authenticity, safety, and commercial rights.

Sixth Wall is introducing Behavioral Licensing, a new category of IP licensing focused on how characters think, speak, and interact in dynamic experiences. Behavioral Licensing is powered by CharacterOS, Sixth Wall's proprietary system for preserving a character's personality, canon, voice, and safety guardrails across interactive experiences. Each Sixth Wall character is built using authorized source material and powerful human voice performances.

The studio has established a talent participation model that compensates performers and uses only authorized recordings. Twelve iconic Hasbro Inc. characters, including Optimus Prime, Megatron, Cobra Commander, Mr. Potato Head, and the cast of Clue, will be available to request at launch, with more following later this year. Sixth Wall's initial focus is on 13+ experiences and enterprise use cases.

Sixth Wall is now accepting requests for authorized character access through the ElevenLabs Iconic Marketplace and through sixthwallstudio.com. Partners will be considered for time-bound Behavioral Licensing pilots across a range of use cases, including interactive storytelling experiences, conversational games and digital companions, connected physical products and robotics, AI-powered brand ambassadors, location-based entertainment experiences, and dynamic customer engagement agents. Additional characters, products, and pilot experiences will be announced later this year.
