Metaverse heavyweight Animoca Brands has been allowed an extension to file its audited financial report for 2020, which was originally due to Australian regulators by the end of 2022. 

The formerly listed firm negotiated a later filing date, pushing its new deadline to the end of the first quarter with subsequent years' accounts to be filed later in 2023, the company said.

“We do not expect to miss our filing deadlines — as of right now we are on track for the schedule agreed upon with ASIC, our regulator with whom we are working closely," said Animoca's chief communications officer, Ibrahim El Mouelhy, in an emailed statement.
