Singapore, September 2024 – Matr1x Fire, the flagship Web3 FPS mobile game from gaming ecosystem Matr1x, has launched its “Genesis Flame Test”, marking the game’s first no-wipe Play-to-Own test. This test introduces a key moment for Matr1x Fire players and the wider gaming ecosystem, allowing for unique gameplay opportunities available to those holding Genesis Characters. This latest announcement comes as the game continues to scale and gain traction globally, currently with 3.5 million active players.
Matr1x Fire has been in production since 2021, as a game designed to onboard more users into the world of crypto and Web3. The Genesis Flame Test will remain in a “testing” status for an extended period until the product is fully decentralised, while the team continues to work with the community to improve the entire system’s mechanisms. In an innovative move within Web3 gaming, The Genesis Flame Test introduces a dual-tier Battle Pass system:
-
Basic Battle Pass: Automatically activated upon logging in and playing the game.
-
Advanced Battle Pass: Available for purchase as a tradable NFT through the official Matr1x Fire website or within the game itself, this pass unlocks exclusive rewards and the ability to exchange for batteries used in various in-game activities.
Play-to-Own Mechanisms
In the Genesis Flame Test, the mining process is comparable to traditional mining models. Genesis Characters act as tools for gathering in-game rewards, and energy is consumed in ranking matches to earn game-related items like Bounty Cases and $FIRE tokens, which are used within the game ecosystem. Stamina limits the daily output of mining, with resets at fixed times, ensuring a controlled and balanced reward system. This approach is part of Matr1x Fire’s broader goal of maintaining a sustainable and player-focused in-game economy.
Intro to Genesis Characters
In Matr1x Fire, Genesis Character NFTs serve as essential tools for the Play-to-Own experience, functioning as mining machines that influence players’ mining efficiency based on their quality and attributes. There are two types of Character NFTs—Genesis and non-genesis—with three quality tiers: Uncommon, Rare, and Epic. Genesis Characters, limited to 9,980, can be used to mint new characters and are eligible for future airdrops. Key attributes like reputation, luck, efficiency, and tactics enhance resource acquisition, while levelling, breakthroughs, and minting provide avenues for character progression.
Genesis Character Benefits
Players holding a Genesis Character will be able to participate in the mining rewards system, utilising their stamina to engage in mining activities each day. Stamina limits the amount of mining a character can perform daily, with resets occurring at fixed time, introducing a controlled rewards system that aligns with Matr1x’s vision for a balanced Play-to-Own experience.
Exclusive Benefits for 2061 NFT Holders
In addition to the core gameplay, the Genesis Flame Test also includes special privileges for holders of Matr1x’s 2061 NFTs, who will have received airdropped Genesis Characters prior to the test. Specific attributes of these NFTs dictate the rewards players receive:
-
Miracle attribute: 1 Genesis Blueprint (Epic) + 1 Gene Evolution Factor (Epic)
-
Neon Light attribute: 1 Genesis Blueprint (Epic)
-
Meta attribute: 1 Genesis Blueprint (Rare) + 1 Gene Evolution Factor (Rare)
-
Other attributes: 1 Genesis Blueprint (Uncommon)
The Genesis Flame Test represents a significant step forward in the development of Matr1x Fire’s ecosystem, introducing players to an evolving economic and gameplay structure that blends entertainment with a meaningful in-game experience. By integrating features like character mining, ranking matches, and future minting opportunities, Matr1x Fire aims to continue building an ecosystem that prioritises player engagement and asset ownership, in keeping with the Web3 native values that Matr1x is founded on.
