Planetarium Labs Shines at Korea Blockchain Week with Two Cutting-Edge Web3 RPGs
At South Korea’s Blockchain Week, Planetarium Labs, a trailblazing Web3 gaming firm renowned for its lively community, has stolen the show with the launch of two cutting-edge role-playing games. The company’s goal is to provide exciting, immersive experiences that are loaded with intricate storylines and many chances for personalization and revenue. Verse8, an open-source decentralized roguelike role-playing game protocol, and Immortal Rising 2, a captivating competitive idle role-playing game based in the vibrant Web3 universe, are the most recent additions to their repertory.
Verse 8: A Moddable Gaming Universe
Verse8, a gaming universe that skillfully combines multiplayer adventures, vibrant gaming communities, and virtual economies, is one of the most notable releases. Verse8 provides creators with a novel multiverse backdrop and an extensive toolkit for world-building, distribution, and revenue. This allows players and developers of video games the flexibility to create and modify virtual worlds inside the Verse8 ecosystem. Additionally, the platform has community hubs that allow for collaboration between companies and creators, marketing opportunities, and creator-audience engagement. Verse8 aims to revolutionize online role-playing games by promoting community-driven experiences and democratically facilitating content development.
The creator of the well-known Lineage franchise, Jake Song, the CEO of XLGames, has teamed up with Planetarium Labs to produce Verse8. “Verse8 is more than a game; it embodies the ethos of decentralization,” he said, expressing his goal. The groundwork for a vibrant multiplayer universe is laid by the game’s novel open UGC protocol, which guarantees that content production isn’t monopolized by a small number of people but is instead made accessible to all.”
Immortal Rising 2: A Potential Sequel
However, the thrill doesn’t end with a single noteworthy release. A preview of Immortal Rising 2, the Web3 continuation of Immortal Rising 1, has also been made available by Planetarium Labs. In just eight months, the inaugural game in South Korea’s idle RPG category became a huge success, earning over $15 million solely from the local market.
These new games are more than simply entertainment; they are examples of open-source creativity and decentralization. Planetarium Labs is creating a whole gaming ecosystem that encourages users to actively engage with the network and even contribute to the creation of open-source content by utilizing Libplanet blockchain technology. Libplanet, the home of the popular game Nine Chronicles, is the cornerstone of this gaming ecosystem.
Chief Business Officer Alan Lau of Animoca Brands, which has funded Planetarium Labs, stressed how immersive and cooperative these new games are going to be. He said, “We are entering a new era characterized by collaboration, immersive gameplay, and community-driven content, and Animoca Brands is excited to be actively engaged in this pivotal phase of the blockchain gaming revolution.”
Planetarium Labs CEO JC Kim tweeted, “Our upcoming lineup holds the potential to redefine the industry, addressing long-standing expectations.” He was excited about what was ahead. In the field of open-source, decentralized blockchain gaming, Planetarium Labs is positioned to lead the way thanks to its creative games and fervent community.
