Recently, the popularity of Black Myth: Wukong has not only brought AAA games back into the spotlight, but also sparked heated discussions among players and developers. The continued success of Web2 games has led to the defection of some Web3 players. In contrast, Web3 games have a short life cycle and a difficult business model, especially in the current crypto market environment, and their significance is questioned.
In fact, blockchain games have not achieved a breakthrough since their explosive development in the last round of market cycle. They are far behind the Web2 game field in terms of game content and game experience, and are still in the stage of eating raw meat and drinking blood. The root cause of this dilemma lies in the lack of underlying infrastructure.
Since last year, there have been a number of game infrastructure solutions launched on the market, the most representative of which are MUD, Dojo, etc. However, the logical partitioning of MUD relies on the "World" framework. This stateless logic management increases the flexibility of development, but it may also be limited by the performance and scalability of EVM. The advantage of Dojo is that it is based on ZKP, but its limitation is that it relies on the language, namely Cairo, and the underlying stack lacks certain flexibility.
In this round of market cycle, as the MetaArena engine is launched to the market, its series of solutions based on cryptography, ZKP, modularization, Layer3, etc. have brought more complete solutions to the blockchain game track and become the key to driving the blockchain game market towards a new paradigm.
At present, the first game "Final Glory" based on the MetaArena stack has also attracted much attention from the market. It has exceeded 100,000 users in less than two months since its launch, and the number of users is still growing rapidly at this stage, with players all over the world. "Final Glory" has become a phenomenal game in the blockchain game track, and the launch of this game has also opened a new chapter in this track.
Why is the game "Final Glory" successful?
Final Glory is a AAA MMORPG game running on the MetaArena Realm game engine. The game itself continues the concept of MetaArena's independent world and features top-notch game graphics and immersive game experience. The game itself has a high degree of freedom. Players can choose different professions (heavy swordsman, sword fighter, priest, archer) according to their gaming habits, engage in adventure battles, and obtain resources to achieve growth. Different branches of different professions have different abilities, which determines the role positioning of users in the game society.
Players can also form powerful guilds, participate in guild tasks and competitions, and occupy core resource output. The game does not have task prompts, and players can explore freely. In the future, the game is expected to allow players to further create assets and build a bottom-up world system. At the same time, with the guild as a link, players can further capture social scenes, and better establish game collaboration through social interaction, creating a more cohesive game community.
1. Well-made, huge development costs
Compared to most of the crudely made Web3 games, Final Glory is a conscientious masterpiece. On the one hand, the extremely complex game logic is deployed on the chain through the MetaArena game engine, and the game development team migrated some of the game logic from the previously developed Web2 AAA games. On the other hand, Final Glory spent a huge amount of money on rendering the game and adopted top solutions, such as the industry-leading HDR lighting pipeline, self-developed PBR shaders, the use of HyperShader, etc. Final Glory is one of the most expensive games to develop in Web3 games, and the high cost brings excellent game effects.
2. Supported by high-quality underlying engine, the experience is comparable to Web2 AAA games
In addition to the development stage, the "Final Glory" game is built on the MetaArena bottom layer. When the game is running, the action logs generated by some continuous game behaviors of players are aggregated within a certain period, and the computing network under the chain generates zero-knowledge proofs (each computing node has the ability to generate zero-knowledge proofs and communicate, which can provide strong computing support for the game. The network is driven by the token economy). These proofs are finally verified on the chain (in the Realm engine). This method can greatly improve the smoothness of the game and greatly enhance the experience of PvE games.
In some PvP game scenarios, players can enter the game room through online matching. The room is built in a stateless room and driven by nodes. In this room, the node itself does not save the game data. It is only responsible for packaging and sorting the player's operations in a ZKP manner, and uploading them to the Realm engine on the chain for verification and execution. Therefore, from the perspective of the node itself, it does not need to broadcast the global state on the source chain, only local state changes are required. PvP gameplay can achieve extremely low latency and 0 Gas experience without relying on centralized servers.
Therefore, MetaArena provides strong support for the operation of the "Final Glory" game. Players can get an experience comparable to Web2 AAA games from the game while maintaining Web3 characteristics.
3. Fascinating game content
The game Final Glory itself has a very rich gameplay setting, including:
l Big world exploration/killing monsters/collecting
l Moon Gate Alien Gameplay, Single-player Moon Gate - Exploration / Multiplayer Moon Gate - Fierce Fight
l High-difficulty team battle copy - Blood Feast Torture
In every existing gameplay, players can get the ultimate gaming experience from the battle and continue to generate gaming enthusiasm with the promotion of AAA image quality. With the support of the MetaArena engine, players can engage in real-time PvP battles with players around the world, which is groundbreaking in the GameFi field.
In the future, we will launch gameplay such as fighting against the White Walkers/Dragon Girl Invasion/Mega Man Arena/Iron Islands Melee/Guild Gameplay/Trading House, etc. This also means that players with different game preferences can be satisfied in the game.
4. The blockchain game market is in urgent need of high-quality games. Final Glory occupies the minds of users
Before Final Glory, there were very few Web3 games that could provide players with such a high-quality experience. In addition, the overall situation of the crypto market was poor and the track lacked innovation. The track was always stagnant and no game could keep users sticky. During the window period, Final Glory, as one of the few excellent AAA masterpieces in the current Web3 market, is rapidly occupying the minds of users and is becoming an emerging unicorn and traffic portal in the market.
Final Glory game valuation
In the early days, it was impossible to deploy AAA games with complex logic on the chain or run them entirely on the Web3 stack. Therefore, it was difficult to provide support for them in terms of technology, investment, timeline, and existing industry resources (including infrastructure, etc.).
"Final Glory" was the first to achieve a technological breakthrough and became one of the few MMPRPG AAA games in the GameFi track that is truly oriented towards Web3. At the same time, it further opened up the market based on a complete game ecosystem and high-quality gaming experience, and is becoming a leading game in the GameFi track.
At present, the number of Final Glory users is still growing, and the online time and activity of users are all in a state of growth, reflecting the market's recognition of Final Glory. Backed by a large number of active users, it not only represents strong consumption power and value growth, but also can capture huge attention value for the game ecosystem and continue to explore new business models in more fields. At the same time, this also represents the potential revenue expectations of Final Glory, and is expected to empower players, ecosystems, etc. based on strong profitability.
In a new market cycle, the imagination and imagination space of new narratives will always be higher than that of old narratives, which may mean that the valuation of "Final Glory" is expected to surpass that of old leading companies such as Axie, Raca and GameFi in the previous market cycle.
Newly issued assets, new wealth codes
At present, with the full launch of the Final Glory game ecosystem, it has also further launched the game asset Medal of Honor-Dragon. It is reported that this asset is an extremely rare collectible mount in the Final Glory game, symbolizing the supreme glory and power of battle. As an important part of the Final Glory ecosystem, the Medal of Honor-Dragon brings extraordinary gains and experience to its holders. Players who own this medal will receive a significant combat value bonus, further enhancing their strength and competitive advantage in the game. At the same time, in addition to giving 900 $TIMI (TGE 10%, the rest is released linearly within 12 months) rewards, holding the Medal of Honor-Dragon mount also means a gain in revenue, including priority in issuing new assets, priority in unlocking new gameplay, game revenue bonus, and so on.
In addition to the rights and interests in the "Final Glory" game, holders of the "Medal of Honor - Dragon" can also capture rights and interests from the MetaArena ecosystem. Not only can they continue to receive governance token rewards through the computing power contribution of the MetaArena distributed computing network, but also as the MetaArena ecosystem series of games are launched one after another, they can obtain potential airdrop opportunities provided by these games.
In addition, becoming a staker of the MetaArena network not only allows you to obtain a higher stake income weight, but also allows you to serve as a service node, providing customized support to developers and game operations, and obtaining long-term benefits and income from it.
Whether in the "Final Glory" game, which has high valuation and revenue expectations, or the MetaArena network, users who use the "Shenlong" mount will become users who enjoy top-level resources. The gains brought by the "Shenlong" mount are continuous, so holders will continue to benefit from the growth of game value and make huge profits. At the same time, this asset will become one of the few opportunities to capture the dividends of the development of the MetaArena system.
