Gameplay Mechanics

Overworld Arena enables players to create characters with three randomized stat levels: dexterity, strength, and magic. These stats can be rerolled by bridging Ethereum (ETH) to the Xterio Chain and purchasing the in-game Gem currency. Gems also facilitate the purchase of loot boxes and additional energy, enhancing the gaming experience.

Players wager Arena Coins in a tiered pricing system through a synchronous, rock-paper-scissors-style PVP mode where the winner takes all. Those who run out of coins can either purchase loot boxes or wait for the daily refresh to continue playing.

Character Enhancements and Partner Collections

While the game is free-to-play, users who own characters from partner collections, such as BAYC, Azuki, DeGods, Doodles, Mocaverse, Pixelmon, Pudgy Penguins, Pirate Nation, and Infinigods, can access better characters. However, the highest stats are available to those who possess Overworld's Incarna PFPs, providing a strategic advantage in gameplay.

Prize Pool and Rewards for Players

At launch, Overworld Arena features a prize pool of $110,000, which will grow as more players purchase gems. Additional rewards include 1 million MNCT tokens, Xterio points, and 50 whitelist spots for Xterio’s upcoming NFT mint, Project Shadows.

Strategic Investments and Scaling Infrastructure

This launch follows Xterio’s recent announcement of leveraging Binance Smart Chain (BNB) for its underlying layer-2 (L2) scaling infrastructure. Additionally, BNB has invested $15 million into Xterio’s gaming ecosystem, signaling robust support and confidence in the platform's growth and sustainability.

BNB Chain and Xterio Working Closely Together

The launch of Overworld Arena highlights key trends in web3 gaming, demonstrating how blockchain technology can enhance accessibility and engagement. By utilizing Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain for scalable infrastructure and incorporating PVP mechanics with real-world rewards, Xterio is setting a new standard for decentralized gaming platforms.

This model shows how web3 games can provide both accessibility and tangible incentives, reflecting the growing integration of blockchain features in creating more interactive and rewarding gaming experiences. For more information and to start playing, visit Overworld Arena on X (formerly Twitter).
