Gaming enthusiasts who are into MMORPGs probably need no introduction to Elemental Knights Online, the 3D MMORPG that lets players explore a virtual world and fight against each other in real time. After all, the widely popular title boasts a user base of over 8 million as well as multiple awards.
Now think Elemental Knights Online, add an element of NFT and Metaverse Economy and voila! This is Gensokishi Online for you. Gensokishi Online strives to leverage blockchain technology and its offshoots to deliver fun and immersive gameplay along with a new fantasy world economy on the Metaverse.
The official release of the game, developed under license from Elemental Knights, is only a few months away. Despite this, it’s already attracting a lot of attention from the MMORPG and Metaverse gaming communities, among others. So, without further ado, let’s find out what the buzz is all about.
Gensokishi Online: an overview
The Gensokishi development team presents the game as a “New Economy and Metaverse incarnation of Eternal Knights”. And that’s where all the fuss about it starts. To be a Web 3.0 upgrade to such a hugely popular title, and to do so with the additional perks that come with the play-and-earn element, is a big deal in itself.
In addition, Gensokishi already has an established 3D MMORPG platform with active users and prides itself on being the world’s “only play-and-earn game with a 13-year history”.
All of these factors give Gensokishi Online a decisive edge in the highly competitive MMORPG market.
But what is so unique about Gensokishi Online anyway?
The team overseeing the project promises that Gensokishi Online will not be just another ordinary 3D MMORPG. Rather, it strives to build a unique metaverse and in-game economy that serves both individual users and businesses.
Some of the unique additions promised by the development team include the ability for users to:
- Design, create and sell their original equipment and skins.
- Create their own monsters and NPCs.
- Buy virtual land (continents and maps) on the metaverse of Gensokishi Online.
- on their land and develop it so that other users can come in and explore it.
A major benefit of these additions would be that companies no longer have to create 3D MMORPGs from scratch. Instead, they could build their own games and worlds directly in Gensokishi Online for a reasonable price paid in $MV tokens.
As you can probably guess, the successful implementation of these above goals will pave the way for designers and enterprise-level companies to enter the Metaverse economy.
Already on the right track
Based purely on community feedback and growth, Gensokishi Online actually seems to be on a path that could make it one of the biggest metaverses to be released in 2022. The project has already broken some records since launching its website on December 2nd. 2021
For example, the Gensokishi Online project’s community grew to over 100,000 in less than 20 days since the project’s debut. As of this writing, the community has continued to grow to over 230,000.
Selling out in 20 seconds also made it the fastest project ever launched by Trsutpad, a multichain decentralized fundraising platform.
Gensokishi also caused a stir at Bybit Launchpool after a record 65,000 participants pledged a total of $220 million to obtain the project’s own asset, the MV token. As if that wasn’t enough, it also set a new record on the MEXC exchange on March 6 by becoming the fastest project ever to hit its Kickstarter goals in just 10 minutes. MEXC listed the $MV token the very next day.
And it’s not just these records. There are also other positive signs of how fast the Gensokishi ecosystem is growing.
Global partners
Gensokishi has also managed to establish partnerships with several globally established organizations on various fronts. For example, on February 25, 2022, the platform signed a deal with Soulz.
It also recently forged a new alliance with Aavegotchi, widely regarded as one of Gamefi’s flagship projects. On June 3, 2022, GensoKishi announced a partnership with the Metaverse Avatar project Monkey Kingdom. Through partnerships like these, Gensokishi strives to become an accessible gateway to the metaverse.
Additionally, the platform claims to have close ties with several Japanese IPs, business owners, and NFT projects. All the support from the project’s global partners has helped the game add more charm to its credibility and future potential.
Partnership with Yoshitaka Amano
Perhaps the partnership with Amano is another big factor that could have a huge positive impact on the future of the game. For those not in the know, Amano is a legendary designer who has contributed to the success of dozens of popular video games.
