• Planetarium Labs announces Verse8 and Immortal Rising 2 at Korea Blockchain Week.
• Blockchain gaming continues to redefine online gaming experiences.

Planetarium Labs, a rapidly growing Web3 gaming company that builds immersive, moddable, and community-centric gaming experiences for people around the world, has announced two new gaming titles at the prestigious Korea Blockchain Week (KBW). In an exclusive “Web3 Game Unplugged” event that was co-hosted by Animoca Brands, a Hong Kong-based game development and venture capital company, and Intella X, builders of a high-performance Web3 gaming ecosystem.

The new games – Verse8 and Immortal Rising 2, have the gaming community excited and in eager anticipation since they are the first releases since the highly successful “Nine Chronicles,” Planetarium’s first fully on-chain idle RPG game. The new titles were built to deliver the excitement, engagement, and immersive experiences that players expect from next-gen blockchain offerings, complete with intricate storylines and substantial opportunities for modding, monetization, and social engagement with other players and gaming communities.

Verse8 – Taking Traditional RPGs to New Heights

Verse8 is an open-source, decentralized roguelike RPG protocol. It is an interconnected universe of moddable games, all of which are connected via multiplayer experiences, advanced game mechanics, immersive storytelling, vibrant communities, and realistic virtual economies. As gameplay progresses, players will become part of an intricate multiverse backstory.

“Verse8 is more than a game; it embodies the ethos of decentralization. The game’s innovative open UGC protocol ensures that content creation isn’t monopolized by the few but democratized for the many, laying the foundation for a thriving multiplayer world. Complete with roguelike experiences and multiplayer virtual economy, these capabilities will serve as the foundation upon which creators can build and deploy new experiences of their own for gamers to enjoy,”

added Jake Song, the CEO of XLGames and creator of the Lineage franchise, one of the most successful MMORPG games of all time in South Korea that collaborated with Planetarium on the Verse8 project.

Furthermore, by combining powerful AI tools for world generation as well as game distribution and monetization, creators can seamlessly launch realistic and evolving virtual worlds of their own, using community hubs and on-platform experiences and tools to reach new audiences.

“Over 1,000 passionate Web3 builders registered for our event, underscoring the growing momentum and interest surrounding decentralized gaming. We’re extremely excited to announce our upcoming titles and aim to make a significant impact in the Web3 gaming scene in 2024…”

Co-founder and CEO of Planetarium Labs JC Kim said in a statement.

Immortal Rising 2 – The Holy Anticipated Sequel

Immortal Rising 2 is a Web3 competitive idle RPG game. The hotly anticipated title is the sequel to the highly successful Immortal Rising 1, which generated over $15 million in the Korean market alone and was the highest-grossing idle RPG mobile game for eight consecutive months. It retains the exciting pace and storytelling style of the original but has several notable enhancements designed to improve user experiences, such as the ability to transition to quarter-view during gameplay. By creatively leveraging Web3 tokenomics and implementing a highly entertaining dynamic guild warfare system, players will be incentivized and entertained to actively participate and influence in-game resources and rewards.

Alan Lau, Chief Business Officer of Animoca Brands, also commented on the launch.

“Immortal Rising 2 is tangible proof of what we can do when passion, innovation and collaboration come together. I’m looking forward to this new Web3 title in Planetarium Labs’ portfolio. We are entering a new era defined by collaboration, immersive gameplay and community-driven content, and Animoca Brands is thrilled to be actively engaged in this pivotal phase of the blockchain gaming revolution,”

he said.
