Metaverse Game Studios pull the trigger on using ImmutableX for its debut Web3 MMORPG, Angelic. The indie game developer is composed of industry veterans with history in games like Far Cry, League of Legends, Diablo Immortal and more.
ImmutableX is the preferred developer platform for building and scaling Web3 games on Etherium.
“We are incredibly lucky to have found a partner who shares the same values as Angelic,” MGS’s Anastasia Volgemut said in a statement to GamesBeat. “By using ImmutableX, our users can reap the benefits of fast, safe, gas-free hitting and an uninterrupted, high-quality gaming experience.”
Metaverse Game Studios comes from a $10 million seed round that closed in March 2022. It primarily uses that money to fuel Angelic’s next phase of growth. It also uses the funding to ensure that the Angelic experience is as seamless as possible for every user.
Angelic offers the incredible visuals of Unreal Engine 5. It is a dark sci-fi themed narrative role-playing game with turn-based combat. The game takes place in a collaborative universe, with built-in blockchain elements.
Angelic tries to thread the needle between regular gamers and Web3 players. It has a laser focus on building a vibrant and engaging world with fun gameplay. It is “chain agnostic”, meaning it is hosted outside of blockchain. But it has the ability to connect to different chains through a custom backend, thanks to ImmutableX.
“It’s great to see prominent AAA-level gaming companies like Metaverse Games Studios actively embracing digital ownership and player-led gaming models,” said Andrew Sorokovsky of Immutable. “We are excited to offer the full suite of ImmutableX’s tools and solutions and partner with their team to deliver the fairest, most inclusive and innovative Web3 experience possible for all Angelic players.”
Angelic will be launched soon
Angelic will conduct an alpha test for selected community members and partners in late January 2023. The public launch of Angelic will take place in February 2023. Players in the alpha test and NFT holders will be able to trade their NFTs when the game launches.
