nWay, a renowned developer and publisher of competitive multiplayer games, and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, has announced the launch of a groundbreaking Web3-powered multiplayer fighting game, Wreck League. This innovative game empowers players to create and own their Mech fighters, engage in real-time battles, and compete for on-chain prizes in various events. Wreck League sets a new standard for esports, blurring the lines between traditional gaming and blockchain technology, and providing an exhilarating and customizable gaming experience.
Unleashing a New Era of Customizable Combat
Wreck League distinguishes itself from typical fighting games that have restricted character options, as it grants players the liberty to create their personalized Mech fighters, yielding an impressive array of more than 1.5 quadrillion unique combinations. The inaugural season, scheduled for a September launch, will showcase four esteemed Yuga Labs collections, including Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, and Otherside Kodas.
Gamers have the opportunity to gather Mech Parts, presented as NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), and combine them to forge complete Mech character NFTs. Additionally, the introduction of exclusive Yugaverse Mechs adds a sense of rarity, enhancing players’ accomplishments within the game.
The Hybrid Web3 and Web2 Experience
nWay’s vision for Wreck League is to create a symbiotic relationship between the Web3 and Web2 gaming communities. While the Web3 version of Wreck League requires Mech NFT ownership for competitive events and tournaments, nWay will also launch a Web2 free-to-play (F2P) version of the game, accessible without NFTs. The free-to-play (F2P) version will mirror the fundamental gameplay and combat mechanics found in the Web3 edition, complemented by extra F2P elements like daily missions, a battle pass, and an in-game store that serves as a bridge between both gaming communities.
The Voices Behind Wreck League
Taehoon Kim, CEO of nWay, highlighted Wreck League’s hybrid nature and its potential to unite the gaming communities, blending the creative potential of Web3 with nWay’s expertise in competitive fighting games. Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, expressed excitement about Wreck League’s groundbreaking approach, delivering true digital property rights to gamers and reshaping the landscape of esports and competitive gaming.
