Cosmic Universe, an upcoming fantasy open-world worldbuilder MMORPG currently based on the Harmony blockchain, has just released its free-to-play game demo, showcasing its preliminary concept for what its full-fledged blockchain MMORPG will be like.
New York, June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cosmic Universe is an open-world building and quest-driven game that harnesses the power of blockchain technology to spur a thriving decentralized player-driven economy. In doing so, it offers a novel gameplay experience where players own tokenized in-game assets and take part in a dual-token economy. Within the Cosmic Universe ecosystem, there are opportunities for renting, trading, upgrading, and unlocking NFTs, as well as taking part in various P2P and PVE competitions and challenges via primary and secondary Quests. Players get to select different types of character professions, earn rewards through skilled gameplay, and enjoy a lore-rich gaming experience that popular traditional MMORPGs provide.
In Cosmic Universe, players can explore magical realms, harvest resources and uncover ancient artifacts, craft potions, have companions and pets, own land, build structures, and embark on quests, all of which help in gaining XP, Skill Level, Land Level, and leveling-up characters. A robust player-driven economy enables players to maintain total control over how the values of resources are determined, as well as what their supply and demand is.
The game's lore outlines that at the dawn of the universe there were seven beings called the Elementals. These beings came together to create The Prism in order to create worlds and root races throughout the universe, with each Elemental having its own unique creative power. On the first planet they created, there was a Tree of Magic placed in the center of the main continent, Cosmic Island, that would be the source of all magic within the realm. The root races of Crypton (Wizards, Elves, Apes, Dwarves, Felines, Yetis, and Trolls) all look to the stars with the desire to become creators of realms themselves, climbing the Ascension Ladder to become Etherea Lumina. However, Egregores, amorphous mind viruses, stand in their way as the one obstacle to achieving this noble pursuit.
The Cosmic Universe demo takes place on Cosmic Island, which is the first of seven islands to be released in the full release of the game. This island is the homeland of the Wizards root race, which is why the first playable race will be Wizards, followed by Elves. There are several different biomes on Cosmic Island. However, the demo will feature a sandboxed region that initially combines tropical and coniferous environments.
