World’s First 8 Bit RPG Game ‘MetaGods’ Launching As Play To Earn MMO

MetaGods is the world’s first 8-bit play-to-earn experience, in the form of a multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) built on Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

MetaGods players are in effect mythological demigods trying to gain ascension through battle in either Atlantis (casual) mode or Zion, the hardcore mode where you have only one chance to play for legendary loot. Your character, equipment and loot are stored as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and can be sold or bought on the digital marketplace, giving players the chance to monetise their time in the game.

You can play as a Tank, DPS, or Healer against hordes of enemies and earn some loot. Playing with friends is encouraged with the push to Social GameFi, where gamers are rewarded: “With the holy trinity of MMO, you have a better chance to win against the pantheon to earn those sweet, sweet APY rewards,” according to the roadmap.

Dual Token System Applies

The game incorporates a dual token system where $MGOD is used for adventure packs, to enter raids, and in the marketplace while $RELIC is used in-game to forge new weapons, armour, or anything available in the crafting section.

Battle the Gods for APY

To keep the game interesting there will be weekly special events with boss challenges, where a high APY incentive is provided for the community to band together and fight against the gods. There will also be tournaments and airdrops on special occasions for players who stick for the long run.

The official game release is set for Q1 of 2022, according to the roadmap, and with the game currently on BSC there are plans to integrate Solana as soon as possible with the other chains to follow. The project has raised US$3 million in funding from its supporting investors to build up the game, economy, and community.

Many new GameFi projects rely on their community and participation to make everything work. Recent project Genopets, for example, which uses players’ fitness data for the game, raised US$8.3 million in seed funding.

How to Get Involved

With the date of the MetaGods NFT sale still to be determined and announced on Twitter, users wanting to get in early can participate in the NFT raffle sale, accessible through the MetaGods DApp.
