Royal Reptile Studios the makers of Psyber-X, a hyper-realistic Battle Royale-style game, recently announced its partnership with Myria, an Ethereum L2 blockchain gaming ecosystem powering millions of web3 gamers. The partnership means users will now have full ownership of all their in-game assets.
"We are excited to scale our game NFTs with Myria to enable 0 gas fees, and carbon neutral NFT minting and trading", PsyberX had initially tweeted last month. This target became a reality yesterday with the new Myria partnership.
Now powered by Myria’s Layer 2, Psyber-X is an "adrenaline-pumping, endorphin enducing Play-to-Earn (P2E) First Person Shooter (FPS) and TPS (Third Person Shooter) game" where players have the opportunity to take up any role of interest ranging from teachers and DJs to entertainers and officers.
Initially built using Unity assets, they later moved on to Unreal Engine 5 to level with other industry-leading AAA games. The move, according to Psyber-X project manager, Alex Trapp, was vitally important since their goal was being able to attract web2 gamers into web3. "You don’t want an average game with a token as bait. You want an outstanding game that happens to have a token.” Alex commented.
Psyber-X features NFTs in the form of power up cards (Experience boosts, speed boosts, killstreaks, shields, enhancers, etc.), weapons, cosmetics, and housing. $LVL, the in-game currency can be earned through battles, selling NFTs, or renting NFTs.
With the Myria partnership, Psyber-X has further extended its omnichain capabilities to not just Hive and Avalanche, but also Myria's L2 ETH blockchain. "We have Avax NFTs, Hive NFTs, and Myria L2 NFTs. All registering on our backend for use on the same games", says Justin M, CEO/Founder of Royal Reptile Studios. In the future, players will be able to interact with all of their NFTs off of the different chains, all while remaining on a single platform, the PsyberVerse. The PsyberVerse will become the living bridge between chains, allowing choice and exploration of blockchains among players.
Certain NFTs will be minted exclusively on Myria’s L2 scaling solution. Among them is the silver-level starter kit and the gold founder kit which will include NFT packs and some land. These will basically be some of the earliest items on Psyber-X.
Other than offering them the opportunity to leverage Myria’s Ethereum L2 scaling solution to facilitate gas-free NFT trading, the partnership will also connect Psyber-X to a huge community of eager gamers on the Myriaverse waiting to jump on the next best-in-class AAA game.
