NFT-Based RPG Games

XL Games Debuted the North American Servers for 'Archeworld'

— April 21, 2023 — Tech
ArcheWorld is a blockchain-based MMORPG developed by XLGames, the same company behind ArcheAge. It is a sandbox game that allows players to create their own characters, explore a vast open world, engage in various activities such as combat, crafting, trading, and farming, and participate in a dynamic economy powered by cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

ArcheWorld uses BSLT as its main currency, which can be exchanged for Archeum, a key material for character growth. Players can also own land NFTs that grant them exclusive rights to use and trade their properties in the game. ArcheWorld aims to provide a realistic and immersive gaming experience that rewards players for their creativity and contribution.

ArcheWorld launched its service in North America and South America on April 20th, 2023, after conducting an alpha test in Asia in July 2022. Players who pre-registered for the game received various rewards such as Archeum, gold, gliders, and land NFTs. ArcheWorld is available for download from its official website or through the XLGames launcher.
