Role-playing game Forgotten Runiverse has launched in early access on the Ronin Network, allowing users to master spells and earn rewards as they explore the open fantasy world based on the Ethereum NFT collection, Forgotten Runes Wizard’s Cult. The launch is the culmination of three years of development work and more than 1 million hours of gameplay testing, according to a post by Ronin Network, the game’s new home after it opted to migrate from Ethereum layer-2 network Arbitrum last year. “We just launched the first true live service Web3 MMORPG. And it’s free,” posted Forgotten Runes pseudonymous co-founder and…

Luke Barwikowski, founder of the pixelated MMORPG Pixels on Ronin, has revealed that he’s received repeated death threats against himself and his family because of his role in the crypto gaming industry. “I don’t think people understand the amount of death threats Web3 founders get — it’s kind of crazy,” he wrote. “I have thick skin & good opsec though.” OpSec, or operations security, is a term that refers to one’s security process that prevents sensitive info from getting into the wrong hands. “It’s not just me,”…

This is a segment from The Drop newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Star Atlas, an ambitious sci-fi interplanetary MMORPG, has made strides toward its full launch since its white paper released back in 2021. Right now, there’s a web-based game known as SAGE (Star Atlas Golden Era) that’s available until the full, immersive 3D main game launches.

Square Enix has announced plans to wrap up its Web3 venture Symbiogenesis in July and discontinue its services. While the platform produced iconic role-playing games such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, Symbiogenesis was predicted to be a hit blockbuster. The project was launched when the non-fungible token (NFT) market’s fatigue reached its peak in 2023, failing to meet the low expectations of players in the sector. The project began as a game where players could purchase NFT-based characters and travel across a mystery multi-chapter fantasy. The growing fatigue in the market was another factor, with the usual players burnt…

Right now, my X feed is full of people who are giving up on Web3 gaming. I get it. Over $12 billion of venture capital funding has gone into it since 2020 and they haven’t seen the sort of breakout success that many expected. Even the best games haven’t reached anything close to mainstream scale. Token prices are down. Studios are shutting down. And everyone is exhausted. But measuring Web3 gaming by token prices alone is like calling the internet a failure because of the dot-com crash — it ignores how far the technology has come and where it’s headed.…
