- Pixelverse launches closed beta MMORPG with TON microtransactions, expanding beyond Telegram.
- Neopolis City offers cyberpunk gameplay where player decisions shape the web3 experience.
- Pixelverse’s PFP NFTs and Bots collection provide in-game benefits and exclusive quests.
Pixelverse, known for its popular PixelTap mini-game, has officially launched the closed beta of its anticipated MMORPG web browser game. This significant move marks the first time TON microtransactions will be utilized outside of Telegram, expanding Pixelverse’s gaming experience to a wider web3 audience.
The web browser game lets users play TON microtransactions on a different platform, which is a huge step towards integrating the technology outside of Telegram. The closed beta is already accessible to early backers, who can now delve into the cyberpunk-themed city of Neopolis.
This expansion connects the community’s 10 million active users to the game, building on Pixelverse’s momentum within the Telegram platform.
Pixelverse has enjoyed strong success with its previous ventures, including PixelTap, which became one of the leading mini-games on Telegram. In August, the launch of its profile picture (PFP) NFT collection attracted more than 234,000 investors.
Moreover, Pixelverse launched the Bots NFT collection, which attracted more than 40,000 investors to its ecosystem. These assets also have practical uses in the game, such as sharing profit, going on special missions, or changing into unique characters.
In the Pixelverse browser game, Kibacik and other players come 800 years into the future and are now in a place called Neopolis City, which has elements of cyberpunk. However, the activities available are varied such as exploring, sweeps, loot stealing, and operating in the open economy. The augmented reality element moves according to the players’ actions, which is completely swayed by the web3 gaming ideology.
Kirill, the head of Pixelverse, stated that the software’s main purpose is real-life games and communication, which goes further than Telegram. Since many players are being brought into crypto through the mini-games hosted on Telegram, Pixelverse seeks to enhance this experience with its browser game. The conclusion of the closed beta test will be made to the public in the last quarter of 2024.
