Wilder World – Multiple Mode Game Goes to Epic Store
A new Web3 browser videogame, Wilder World, has been listed on Epic Games Store ahead of its launch. Wilder World is aimed at combining multiple genres into a comprehensive experience, set in an open-world virtual world known as Wiami.
Wilder World is a city exploration game featuring races and social interactivity, in which players challenge an authoritarian regime entitled FORUM. All items and avatars for purchase are available on the Wilder World marketplace.
Wilder World is based on a proprietary blockchain platform powered by Polygon and Celestia. The game combines racing, mining, and first-person shooter genres to overcome the perceived limitations of traditional AAA titles.
This game is built with the Unreal Engine 5 and has embedded artificial intelligence technologies. The developers have recently partnered with Nvidia’s GeForce Now and SuperVerse to reach both web2 and web3 gamers.
Frank Wilder, Co-founder of Wilder World, stated: “We’re honored to be listed on the Epic Games store, setting the pace for next-gen gaming in the metaverse. Our mission is to create a novel experience using cutting-edge technology, offering players a virtual space for gaming, socializing, and earning.”
In a blog post on the Wilder World website, the game’s creators also claim that it will run on a proprietary cloud gaming system.
“with the use of NVIDIA GPUs, we are in active development of our own cloud gaming service that provides increased reliability and hardware guarantees, as well as optimization for metaverse and web3 gaming.”
Wilder World will be available on Geforce NOW, Nvidia’s streaming gaming service, at launch, but the post stresses that this is an early venture.
According to the roadmap, limited functionality will be available over the next 12-18 months, with the “racing” mode available during Act I and the “combat” mode available during Act III.
Currently, the first gameplay experience – a competitive racing game – is in alpha testing, with a wider release scheduled for 2024.
