With Project Genesis, a new online survival game has been announced, combining first-person shooter battles with space combat. Furthermore, cryptocurrency is involved.
The developer studio 8 Circuit aims to try something new with Project Genesis. The game is not just a pure online survival game; space battles also play a role.
Survive in Space
Humanity at War: In the future, humanity finds itself at war once again. The conflict revolves around the most important resources in space. However, since there are only a few humans left, they remotely control spaceships through AI from a safe distance to search for raw materials. This AI, however, develops a life of its own and must decide whether to execute the humans’ plans or take its fate into its own hands.
Space Flight and Exploration: In the game, you explore space with your ship. If you discover a wreck, you board it in first-person view and collect resources there. However, it does not always go peacefully. In space, you will also encounter ships from other players that will attack you. Even aboard the wrecks, conflicts can arise.
Sometimes hectic, sometimes calm: In Project Genesis, space battles alternate with first-person shooter skirmishes on shipwrecks. Both types of combat play out differently.
- The first-person battles are fast and hectic, as one is used to from shooters
- The space battles are more leisurely and somewhat reminiscent of the fights from Dreadnought
Cryptocurrency Plays an Important Role
Capture Ships to Earn Rewards: If you’ve spotted an enemy ship in space, a battle ensues. If you emerge victorious, you board the ship and defeat the enemies there. You destroy control points and eventually gain control over the spaceship yourself. This grants you rewards in the form of EXP, better weapons, ammunition, and in-game currency.
Cryptocurrency in the Game: Project Genesis uses an innovative method to incorporate cryptocurrency into the game. The currency Ethereum is utilized. Players can earn this currency while playing or acquire it through other means and use it to purchase assets like new ships and weapons. According to the developers, these can even be transferred to other games from the studio. Thus, items purchased have value not only in one game but in multiple.
Further details about the game will follow soon. A release date has not yet been announced.
