In the competitive landscape of Web3 gaming, studios are racing to capture the attention of players through innovative game concepts that emphasize engagement and community growth. One standout player in this arena is MetaStudio, poised to revolutionize the space with their upcoming game, Rune Realms. In a recent blog post titled “Rune Realms and Immutable: Creating a Gamified Web3 Investment Experience,” Immutable discussed the groundbreaking features that Rune Realms brings to the table.
A Unique Gaming Experience
Rune Realms isn’t just another game; it’s a gamified investment experience that introduces a new dimension to NFTs. Players have the opportunity to mint two distinct classes of playable NFTs: Golems and Shrines. These NFTs offer a unique chance to earn a percentage of MetaStudio’s revenue, creating a symbiotic relationship between players and the studio.
The acquisition of these NFTs occurs through direct minting or the secondary marketplace. The gameplay doesn’t stop there; players can merge four golems of the same type, enhancing their rarity and potential earning capabilities. Additionally, Shrines play a crucial role by allowing players to stake up to four golems simultaneously. This action activates a revenue share percentage derived from all income sources generated by MetaStudio. This includes revenue not only from the present game but also from future game releases and outsourcing earnings.
Collaborating with Immutable, MetaStudio is unlocking new dimensions of the gaming experience. The integration of Immutable’s Checkout feature streamlines transactions, ensuring seamless Web3 in-game purchases for players worldwide. Passport, another feature from Immutable, contributes by simplifying Web3 access and safeguarding players’ valuable assets. Moreover, Immutable’s marketplace network opens up a realm of possibilities, connecting players, creators, and buyers in a thriving ecosystem.
Carlos Domingues, MetaStudio’s CEO, expressed his excitement regarding the collaboration, emphasizing its significance: “The alliance with Immutable marks a pivotal moment for MetaStudio. The implementation of Immutable’s Checkout functionality will enhance transaction efficiency, ensuring a seamless experience for our global player base in making Web3 in-game purchases. Additionally, the introduction of Passport not only simplifies Web3 accessibility but also reinforces asset security for players. This strategic move intertwines us with a flourishing marketplace network, representing a daring stride into the gaming future.”
