With the rise of Web3 games, more and more traditional game companies have started to get involved in Web3 field recently, and a new digital game ecosystem is rapidly forming.

This article takes a look at four recent Web3 games that have received a lot of attention: SYMBIOGENESIS, METAPIXEL, Codename Renegades, and AVALON. Whether your preference is episodic mystery, role-playing, sci-fi, or MMORPGs, there's something for you.

1.SYMBIOGENESIS

SYMBIOGENESIS is Square Enix's own Web3 game, and as the Final Fantasy developer, Symbiogenesis has always had a high quality of games and a wide audience.

Based on the term "Symbiotic", this could be translated as "symbiotic" or "two separate individuals living together." This is reminiscent of Square Enix's 1998 survival horror action role-playing game "Parasite Eve." Maybe Symbiogenesis games will have a touch of classic Japanese horror.

But Symbiogenesis is not a sequel to Parasitic Eve. Getting back to itself, Symbiogenesis is a new NFT collectible art project that can be used not only for social media profile pictures (PFPS), but also as a wedge in the game to connect players with the game. With each decision and action the player takes, more stories based on the NFT unfold, a process known as the "NFT unlocked narrative". All this, perhaps, is what the symbiosis in the game's name means.

According to what's been revealed so far, Symbiogenesis' story is divided into two categories -- the main story and the character story, with the subset of players who finish first in each episode receiving a whitelist of subsequent characters' NFT.

The main story consists of a full six episodes, which all players can participate in without any NFT threshold.

Character stories are exclusively for character NFT, which are unlocked by holding the corresponding NFT and completing new missions/chapters.

This unique design allows everyone to enjoy the core content of the game, while also allowing players with NFT to gain a deeper understanding of the characters and story.

As a great Web3 game, Symbiogenesis offers many benefits in terms of its openness, decentralization, and trusted virtual economy. Traditional gamers' reservations about NFT and blockchain are a problem. However, if you can break down the word-of-mouth barrier by using a massive IP like Square Enix to lure traditional gamers into Web3 games, then this new gaming ecosystem will have a growing audience.

Symbiogenesis is an important attempt to actively explore and practice Web3 games, and we believe that its future performance will bring infinite surprises and fun to players.

2.METAPIXEL

METAPIXEL is an ambitious project to become the top gaming ecosystem on APTOS. At the same time, the METAPIXEL team also has a background in Web2 games. The creator of the Metapixel team, NPIXEL, used to be the developer of the Korean game Knights of Gran, and has a lot of experience in game development and strong technical strength.

METAPIXEL recently announced their lineup for 2023:

1.GranSaga: Unlimited

GranSaga: Unlimited is a WEB3 MMORPG based on the GRANSAGA IP, which will launch in the second half of this year. The PC game, which has been in development for more than a year, is expected to combine with the item trading on the APTOS chain and the in-game ecosystem to bring a richer and deeper gaming experience to players.

2.CATCHA

This is a METAPIXEL unique NFT collection. It is expected that they will make PFP NFT with cats as the theme and release it in the APTOS chain. The NFT will provide users with a more diverse selection of profile pictures to enhance the interactivity of social games.

3.PixelCraft

PixelCraft is a sandbox platform provided by METAPIXEL with the goal of being a space to test the interoperability of various APTOS NFT's such as GRANSAGA, CATCHA, etc. The development of this platform will provide important driving force and support for the development of APTOS DAPP, bringing more rich and comprehensive application scenarios for players.

Since there is a severe shortage of Dapps in the APTOS ecosystem, NPIXEL is likely to receive strong official support. Thus, the development of METAPIXEL is very positive for the APTOS ecosystem -- it will serve the needs of the players and at the same time serve as a catalyst for the development of the APTOS ecosystem.

3.Codename Renegades

Codename Renegades is a MOBa-like multiplayer game with a futuristic sci-fi feel. It uses blockchain technology to reshape players' relationship with the economy, allowing them to participate in games in a new, practical and meaningful way -- Play & Own.

In the game, players and traders can use their assets to earn more assets and trade their income with other players and traders. By completing weekly quests and PvE challenges, players can earn the game's native Token $RAC to participate in the in-game economy.

However, the project's biggest innovation lies in the NFT Skin Evolution system. At the beginning of each RENEGADES season, the game store will offer new base NFT skins that are only available for purchase during the season, a very special opportunity for every game enthusiast.

Players can evolve these base skins by spending some $RAC, or buying them from other players and the game store. These skins are just decorative items and do not give the player any competitive advantage in the game. But they can enhance or change the player's experience in a game, making it a truly unique expression of individuality.

Codename Renegades is designed to allow players to deeply engage with this futuristic sci-fi world and enjoy the joy of unlimited imagination and creativity. Codename Renegades also shows us more about where blockchain technology and gaming are converging. It is foreseeable that blockchain technology will play an increasingly important role in the future development of games.

4.AVALON

What kinds of Web3 games are most compelling? Enough funding + vision + great team = Answer, and AVALON, a new project I found this year, fits this equation perfectly.

AVALON has raised $13 million in funding, led by Bitkraft Ventures, Hashed, Delphi Digital and Mechanism Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Yield Guild Games, Merit Circle, Avocado Guild and Morningstar Ventures followed suit.

Sean Pinnock, Avalon's co-founder and CEO, has long dreamed of creating a forever digital world. AVALON's ultimate goal is to build a digital, on-chain massively multiplayer online game. In addition, Avalon will use the money to build infrastructure for the entire Web3 gaming universe, including addressing real-time interaction, scalability, and easy-to-use tools.

With enough money and a strong vision as a direction, how does his team stack up? According to the release, AVALON team leaders have backgrounds in the production of Call of Duty, Diablo, God of War, Assassin's Creed and Elden Ring. With a comprehensive and extensive background in gaming, the team hopes to create a meta-universe that players can relate to.

Not only that, but Jeremy Parris from Delphi Digital says: "Few companies have the vision, leadership, and expertise to create revolutionary games and products across many verticals. Delphi Digital believes AVALON has all the pieces together and is committed to driving the gaming standards, the metacomes, and the new technologies that are moving forward today. The future is closer than many think. "
