Pixelverse, known for its hit Telegram game PixelTap, has launched a closed beta of its new browser-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). This marks a major shift from its simpler tap-based game to a more complex and immersive cyberpunk-themed MMORPG set in a futuristic world called Neopolis City.
Emerging from Cryo-Sleep into Neopolis City
The lore of Pixelverse unfolds 800 years in the future, as players wake from cryo-sleep in Neopolis City—a setting marked by its blend of danger and opportunity. Tasked with rediscovering their identities, players navigate quests and challenges, aiming to recover and integrate memory chips into the city’s economy.
The game distinguishes itself by incorporating web3 technologies and TON NFTs, allowing players to monetize their gameplay by selling, trading, and investing in-game assets for real-world currency.
Dynamic Gameplay and Features
In Pixelverse, players engage in a variety of activities to shape their experience and the game’s economy. They can acquire and manage apartments, creating a steady source of income, and complete quests, trade items, or run in-game businesses to earn as they play.
The game also offers opportunities for more direct competition, with players participating in real-time PvP battles and large-scale robot fights. Additionally, players can influence the broader game economy by acquiring properties, controlling territories, and manipulating the market through crafted items and traded resources.
Development and Community Engagement
Currently available to early supporters, the public release of the game is scheduled for the fourth quarter. Pixelverse aims to use the substantial user base from Telegram to introduce a more enriched gaming experience.
CEO Kirill Volgin emphasized this transition, noting that many players discovered cryptocurrency through Telegram’s mini-games and are now ready for more sophisticated experiences outside the mobile ecosystem.
From Mini-Game to MMORPG: A Development Leap
The shift from PixelTap to Pixelverse is an upgrade in gameplay complexity and player engagement. PixelTap, centered on tap-based mobile battles, drew millions of players on Telegram. Pixelverse builds on this success, offering an expanded narrative and deeper economic systems within a cyberpunk setting.
The company has also announced an upcoming AMA session with CEO Kirill Volgin to discuss Pixelverse’s future, PIXFI tokens, and the utility of NFTs within the game. This event aims to enhance transparency and engage the community in the ongoing development process.
Turbo Token X Pixelverse
Turbo Token has been added to Pixelverse, a gaming platform with a cyberpunk theme. Here, players use the token to buy in-game items, unlock quests, and customize characters, broadening its use beyond typical cryptocurrency transactions.
Turbo Token is crafted under the guidance of an advanced AI called GPT-4, making it a unique community-driven meme coin. It has a total supply of 69 billion $TURBO tokens, with 60 billion given to supporters through crowdfunding and 9 billion to the founder. Its main features include no taxes on transactions and an ownership structure that prioritizes community involvement over central control. As an ERC-20 token, Turbo Token merges advanced technology with strong community support, setting it apart in the cryptocurrency market.
Pixelverse Early NFT Are Now Tradable and Transferable
As of September 14, 2024, Pixelverse has announced that its Early NFTs are now transferable and tradable. Players and collectors can now trade these NFTs on the open market or transfer them to any non-custodial wallet that supports the TON blockchain.
With over 253,000 NFTs minted, the Pixelverse Early NFT collection has become the largest Profile Picture (PFP) NFT collection on TON. These NFTs offer more than just digital ownership; they provide in-game advantages like unlocking exclusive quests, looting rare items, and customizing characters. Additionally, NFT holders can unlock higher-tier characters from the upcoming NFT Bot Collection and gain access to exclusive in-game rewards.
This update marks an important step for Pixelverse, expanding its web3 integration and offering players more ways to engage with the game’s digital economy.
