Ancient8 and Shrapnel have entered into a partnership. The news was shared by Ancient8, highlighting the reason for collaboration with an AAA FPS blockchain game. Ancient8, through this partnership, looks to assist Shrapnel in achieving the mission of becoming the top-tier FPS game.
The purpose of taking this game to the top of the list is to drive the adoption of Web3 gaming among the masses. Shrapnel will deploy its unique plat-to-own and create-to-own designs to give users an immersive and vast experience within the virtual world.
Shrapnel centers around an extraction theme, requiring players to hunt and fight for drops that are done at the Sacrifice Zone. Trailers and previews of Shrapnel are available. The team behind the game has bagged Emmy and BAFTA awards, with more to come in the future. Shrapnel’s promotional content is receiving positive responses from the community, taking it to the path of success before the release.
Unreal Engine 5 forms the basic ground for Shrapnel which will be deployed on the Avalanche subnet. This architecture provides EVM compatibility, zero latency, and trading of assets inside the game itself. Blockchain games thrive, provided players are satisfied with the virtual world and its overall functions. Shrapnel appears to be ticking all the boxes at the moment.
The list of players who are being targeted includes the following categories:-
