The gaming community is set to witness the collaboration between Legends of the Past (LOP), a new mobile game from veterans of the industry, and the Hedera network. This integration promises to bring an enriched gaming experience, bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 functionalities. Here is what we know so far:
- Legends of the Past, a project developed by former Ubisoft, Supercell, and Tap4Fun employees, is coming to the Hedera network.
- The game merges Web3 elements with a Web2 standard gaming experience.
- LOP is centered around a player-vs-player (PVP) combat system, featuring historic figures as playable characters.
- The game introduces a dual rewards system catering to both Web2 and Web3 users.
- Initial public mint of LOP sold out swiftly, indicating a positive reception from the community.
Bringing Together Web2 and Web3
The developers of LOP have learned from the early attempts at Web3 play-to-earn gaming models. They aim to develop a game that is sustainable and appealing to a broad audience by focusing equally on gameplay and tokenomics. The game’s universe has been designed with an immersive gaming experience as the priority.
The Gameplay Experience
LOP offers a dynamic combat system where players can engage in battles either solo or in a three vs. three format. The gaming sessions are quick, lasting approximately three minutes each. As players advance, they will explore different realms, including the “Historyverse” and the “Heaven of Legends”, meeting various significant historical figures like Cleopatra along the way.
Artifact Collection and Utilization
Enhancing the gaming adventure, players can collect fragments of “Artifacts” during their journey. These fragments, which can be found or purchased, merge to form powerful items that can be utilized to enhance player abilities for battles and quests. Notably, the acquisition of epic Artifacts involves the use of HBAR, the native cryptocurrency of the Hedera network.
Dual Rewards System
To minimize friction between Web2 and Web3 users, LOP has devised a dual rewards system. Traditional gamers (Web2 users) can earn non-tradable in-game currencies such as gold and gems, protected from market volatility. Simultaneously, Web3 users have the option to trade Artifacts for HBAR. Furthermore, the game introduces a governance system through the Legend Committee, allowing for community engagement in various events and reward distributions.
Committee Involvement and Governance
The Legend Committee, composed of LOP NFT holders, plays a significant role in the game’s ecosystem. Members of the committee are responsible for various governance tasks, including managing the Legend Vault and electing representatives for tournaments. They can earn $LOP tokens based on the performance in weekly or monthly events, fostering a community-driven environment.
Anticipation for Upcoming Launch
Following successful partnerships with prominent projects in the Hedera ecosystem, the first public mint of Legends of the Past was met with an enthusiastic reception, selling out within seconds. The gaming community awaits the beta release of the game, with the first Legend Committee, the CLEO committee, slated to launch in September 2023.
In conclusion, the integration of Legends of the Past with the Hedera network signals a notable development in the gaming ecosystem for Hedera. By combining the traditional gaming experience with Web3 functionalities, it strives to create a balanced and immersive gaming environment. This collaboration holds the potential to pave the way for further innovations in the gaming space, fostering a harmonious coexistence between Web2 and Web3 platforms.
