What Overworld’s New Game Will Offer

The unnamed game, currently referred to as Overworld, will be a free-to-play RPG with anime-style art. It will utilize the Xterio token and focus on replayable gameplay loops like defeating enemies, collecting resources, and crafting.

Overworld is taking inspiration from popular games and sees an opportunity in the untapped anime-styled gaming market in the West. The game will feature NFTs and digital ownership, but these will be optional. The priority is creating a fun core game first.

Why Digital Ownership Matters

While digital ownership alone won’t make a good game, Overworld plans to use it to grow the community. Sold digital assets like the Overworld Incarna collection of 6000 assets help fund development. Digital ownership improves the user experience but quality gameplay comes first.

Expert Perspectives on Overworld’s Plans

Hashed partner Ryan Kim believes Overworld can redefine multiplayer RPGs in crypto by targeting the masses. With an experienced team and leadership that understands crypto and gaming, Overworld is poised for success. The $10 million will fuel the development of this highly anticipated title.

Overworld aims to leverage the best of both gaming worlds – anime art, rewarding gameplay loops, and an engaged community unified by optional digital ownership. The future looks bright for this ambitious project.
