Overworld will create a free-to-play Cross-Platform Multiplayer RPG based on a fantasy world where people can party together and go on Monster Raids, go down into Dungeons, go into PVP with other people and craft in-game items.

So why is Jeremy planning to create a game and combine the WEB3 space in it?

According to him: “RPG gaming space is lacking which is the social aspect of web3. when you look at most games they are like web 2.5 games”.

And that’s exactly the way Jeremy wants to create a game and unify WEB2 and WEB3 — he wants to create a game not only using technology and utility, he wants to add value to the players that they wanted to HOLD NFT in the game. Also on the plan is to create relationships between players, and to set a boundary on how people create an identity online.

Everyone who wants to, will be able to go and play the game, because it will be available for both PC and Mobile players, and in the future is planned for the Xbox version.

Let’s move on to the WEB3 component and discuss the NFT segment of the game.

First mint scheduled for Q2 is a PFP for the bold and the brave who crave a life beyond the mundane. The Worthy are the ones who dare answer the hero’s (or villain’s) call, pick up the sword, unleash their power, and step into their destiny. Each asset in a collection is unique and has unique properties that are reflected in its metadata.

What is the benefit of HOLDing this NFT?

Holders will earn access to our exclusive community, events, and digital collectible drops. As an NFT owner you will have certain rights in the game, such as changing the rules of the game, decide how people come, you can even monetize your lands. Also you can expect events like online contests, physical activations, collaborations, and partnerships leading up to it.

Why should you subscribe to Twitter right now and start supporting the project?

Firstly, having conducted our own analysis of Twitter project, we can say that they are supported by a huge number of influential Influencers and investment funds, which already gives us confidence that the project can get any resources that will be needed to promote/create something.

Secondly, the project does not yet have a Discord server and Website, that is, we are at the very early stage, as soon as the HYPE, you will have to compete with tens of thousands, who want to get access to the game, but now, you have every chance to become an early user and get all the bonuses of this.

And thirdly, at the time of writing there is a competition in which you can show your talents and show all that you know how to create and get a Whitelist for the first NFT mint.
