MMOs in Web3 Gaming | Blocklords, David Johansson | Web3 Wednesdays Ep. 10
Manage episode 348929184 series 3422986
Massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) have huge potential in web3, and the first "World of Warcraft" in this new era may set the stage for years to come.
Join guest David Johansson, CEO of Blocklords (MetaKing Studios), alongside host Sam Peurifoy, CEO of Playground Labs, a web3/blockchain dev company. Blocklords turned heads earlier this year with eye-catching cinematics & in-engine gameplay depicting a vast game experience predicated on a medieval caste system. It’s one of the first massive multiplayer online role playing games to be released with a foundational web3 gaming tilt, making David a frontline resource for examining trends at the forefront of the industry, and we’re keen to hear his thoughts.
