A game that takes metaverses and NFTs to a whole new level will debut on January 19th, 2022.
The metaverse play-to-earn (P2E) space is already proving to be an established product line of Web3 as the metaverse holds over $30 billion in market cap even with it still being in its infancy stage.
While this is spectacular, the gold rush to develop play-to-earn games has caused segregation in the gaming world. Metaverses have rendered themselves as isolated virtual worlds . The NFT games in existence aren't interacting with each other, despite having the freedom to do so with decentralization.
Cross-platform gaming is a growing trend in the traditional gaming market as the game Fortnite revealed its benefits to the world. The metaverse gaming space is bound to experience a similar phase as the first-ever metaverse game to introduce cross-game compatibility is about to launch.
Meet Warena
It's a post-apocalyptic game that integrates play-to-earn incentives, personalized characters, NFTs, and characters from other gaming worlds.
Warena's first phase is a 2D tower defence game that will launch on January 19th, 2022. Players will get to summon personalized human warriors with AI or mechanical warriors and then use them to survive zombie hordes, cyborgs, and hostile faction groups.
Warena is the first game in NFT gaming history for players to use a photo of themselves to generate lookalike avatars in the metaverse. The addition of personalization sparks a new atmosphere in P2E gaming.
Players create real value for themselves in Warena's in-game economy. They're rewarded with $WARE (Warena's BEP-20 token) or tokenized in-game assets (NFTs) for completing daily quests, achieving milestones, and participating in weekly rank challenges. Also, players can test themselves against others in arena tournaments and PVP.
Another way to earn tokens in Warena is by staking NFTs. This act helps support blockchain networks by confirming transactions. In return, players get a fluid experience when using in-game assets.
The Future of Warena
Next year, the Warena team aims to roll out phase 2, a massive 3D metaverse game. Warena's phase 2 is where the crossover gaming feature will present itself. Players will get to import characters they own from metaverse games like Axie Infinity and Cat Gunner.
Warena's phase 2 takes metaverse P2E games one step closer to achieving the quality in triple-A games.
In the meantime, Warena's phase 1 2D game is about to go live and could potentially set the tone for NFT games to come. It's a low-cost-of-entry game for players to monetize their time and in-game activity.
Warena presents itself as a lucrative new opportunity in the NFT gaming world. It already established itself as an exciting project as its beta peaked at 15,000 players last year. We'll see if the excitement continues on January 19th, 2022 when the game finally launches.
