Etherscape Dominates Epic Games Store with Blockchain Innovation
- Etherscape, a dungeon-crawling MMORPG, breaks into the top five on the Epic Games Store.
- Powered by Enjin Blockchain, it offers unique NFT-based gameplay.
- Marks a significant achievement for indie developers in the blockchain gaming sector.
In a groundbreaking development for blockchain gaming, Etherscape has clinched a spot among the top five trending games on the Epic Games Store. This achievement not only highlights the game’s popularity but also underscores the potential of blockchain technology in enhancing gaming experiences.
A New Benchmark in Gaming
Etherscape’s journey to the top is noteworthy, especially as it stands shoulder-to-shoulder with behemoths like Fortnite and Assassin’s Creed. This indie game, crafted by developer Sam Bayless, utilizes the Enjin Blockchain to revolutionize player interaction with in-game items, allowing them to own, craft, and trade these as NFTs. This integration has, evidently, resonated with the gaming community, propelling Etherscape to not just trend but also excel in multiple gaming categories:
- #1 in Dungeon Crawler
- #2 in MMO
- #2 in Rogue-lite
- #2 in Co-op
- #3 in RPG
Since its open-alpha release on August 16, 2024, Etherscape has captivated a growing audience with its blend of classic MMORPG elements and innovative blockchain features. Players engage in dungeon adventures and special events, crafting valuable items that can be converted into NFTs using the Etherforge process. These NFTs are then tradable on NFT.io, Enjin’s global marketplace, providing real ownership and trade-ability of in-game assets.
Enjin’s Role in Etherscape’s Success
Enjin’s Spark Program played a pivotal role in building a strong community around Etherscape, involving alpha testers and advocates early on to refine the game pre-launch. The timing of Etherscape’s alpha release was strategically planned to precede the launch of Enjin’s Multiverse, enhancing the game’s appeal by allowing cross-game NFT utility.
Since its inception in 2017, Enjin has been at the forefront of Web3 development, creating the first gaming-specific tools on Ethereum and crafting the ERC-1155 token standard. The Enjin ecosystem offers scalability, security, and ease of use, making it an ideal foundation for Web3 projects. The Enjin Wallet and NFT.io Marketplace further streamline the user experience, enabling effortless creation and trading of NFTs.
