Upcoming Blockchain Game Legendary: Heroes Unchained Introduction

In 2022, there were a total of 334 public investment and financing events in the blockchain gaming sector, with a total financing scale of 4.4 billion USD. Among them, there are projects involving well-known institutions. The blockchain game developer and publisher N3twork Studios, which ranks high in recent financing scale, is about to launch its first game, Legendary: Heroes Unchained (LHU).

N3twork Studios was founded in January 2022 by the game team N3twork, which was acquired by a certain Blockchain gaming platform. On May 18, 2022, N3twork Studios announced the completion of a $46 million Series A funding round, led by Griffin Gaming Partners, with participation from Kleiner Perkins, Galaxy Interactive, and others. The funding will mainly be used for the development of two Blockchain games: Legendary: Heroes Unchained and Triumph.

N3twork Studios plans to approach from two angles: integrating crypto-native games and free games with Web3. The upcoming LHU is a play-to-earn role-playing game based on the once-popular mobile game Legendary: Game of Heroes IP.

Team Background

The N3twork Studios team consists of over 60 members from several well-known gaming and technology companies. The Executive Chairman Neil Young founded N3twork in 2013. President Matt Ricchetti has extensive experience in game design and product management. COO Josh Sell has held key positions at several gaming companies.

Game Features

LHU opened pre-registration in September 2021, and by December, over 100,000 players had completed the pre-registration. The game will introduce NFTs through Drops and organize them into Seasons with unique themes and mechanics.

Founder's season will provide players with the opportunity to purchase LHU NFTs for the first time. The Founder NFT minting and game early access version will be available in the first quarter of 2023. Players can obtain whitelist eligibility by participating in community activities.

LHU is a hero-based card collection game. Players can form a team of up to five heroes to engage in PvP or PvE battles. The game adopts a play-and-own model, aiming to provide an enjoyable gaming experience.

Each hero has nine immutable characteristics and six assignable attributes that determine the hero's performance in the game. Players need to allocate attribute points based on the hero's characteristics and the game scenario. Heroes can enhance their abilities through leveling up and evolution, and these attributes will be permanently stored in the NFT.

Economic Model

LHU adopts a dual-token model:

1. LHU Token: A utility token with a fixed total supply, used for hero evolution, skill upgrades, and NFT trading.

2. HP Token: An unlimited functional token used to restore hero health.

In the game, there are three types of off-chain currencies: "energy, evolution, and health."

The N3twork Studios team stated that they will regulate the economic balance within the game ecosystem through various methods to avoid inflation and collapse.

Overall, N3twork Studios, with its rich experience in game development and publishing, is expected to bring innovation to the crypto gaming space. However, whether it can successfully balance the gaming experience and economic models remains to be seen. We look forward to the official release of LHU and will continue to monitor its development.
