Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd has signed a strategic advisory agreement to advance the development of Resurgence, a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing (MMORPG) survival game, with leading metaverse and blockchain games studio Emergent Entertainment.
A collection of gaming development veterans from Sony’s Playstation, Blizzard-Activision and NCSoft – preeminent studios at the top of the gaming industry – Emergent Entertainment is designing Resurgence as an AAA-quality, free-to-play, post-apocalyptic, open-world crafting survival game powered by blockchain technology.
In other words, Emergent intends to develop Resurgence as a high-quality, online multiplayer game that challenges players to immerse themselves in their character and survive by scavenging and rebuilding in a large, hostile environment.
Animoca Brands will provide support and advisory services, including but not limited to the governance, tokenomics, business strategy, strategic partnership development and marketing of the survival-focused MMORPG.
Passion for innovation and Web3 technology
“Our team at Resurgence is thrilled to collaborate with Animoca Brands, a company that shares our passion for innovation and has demonstrated an exceptional understanding of Web3 technology as a leader in the space,” Emergent Entertainment CEO Ian Hambleton said.
“We believe their expertise and commitment to supporting projects will propel us towards unparalleled success in the gaming industry.
“Together, we're excited to redefine the future of gaming and deliver unforgettable experiences to players worldwide.”
Resurgence is Emergent Entertainment’s first game as a studio, and one of the many emerging into the new DeFi, blockchain-based gaming space.
Emergent recently announced that the game will be launched on the Immutable X platform, which provides “advanced scaling capabilities and a carbon-neutral, zero gas fee environment” while “maintaining the robust security and decentralised qualities of Ethereum”.
“We are delighted to announce our partnership with Emergent Entertainment, whose team brings considerable expertise in developing AAA-grade games for Web3,” Animoca Brands executive chair and co-founder Yat Siu said.
“We’re looking forward to providing our assistance as Resurgence is brought to life.”
