Nine Chronicles M Is the Blockchain Game We’ve Been Waiting For
A lot has been said about blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and the potential of decentralized applications (dApps) to bring about revolutionary change in the world’s markets. This is particularly true of gaming, which is a use case that is tailor-made for open, permissionless participation by people all around the world, irrespective of background or economic standing. But much of the hype has been unfounded, with many high-profile crypto and blockchain projects gaining million-dollar (or even billion-dollar) valuations more on speculation than on real utility or benefits.
Thankfully, blockchain development companies such as Planetarium Labs are changing the narrative with offerings that deliver the security, performance, decentralization, and other benefits that tech and crypto enthusiasts have long hoped for from the blockchain space.
The Success of Nine Chronicles
As a case in point, consider this: Nine Chronicles is a highly successful blockchain-based decentralized gaming title from Planetarium Labs. The game regularly ranks in the top 10 of all blockchain games in terms of UAW (unique active wallets). It is the world’s first fully on-chain and open-source Web3 MMORPG game that delivers truly decentralized activities and gaming experiences where users can customize, modify, and use Nine Chronicles IP in any way they want.
On its own, success in the PC gaming space alone is not an all-inclusive measure of impact, and Nine Chronicles has so far only been available on PC. There are approximately 3 billion gamers around the world, of which over half are mobile-first gamers, so mobile offerings are also important to consider when evaluating the potential and impact of new gaming titles.
To cater to these users, Planetarium Labs is launching Nine Chronicles M (9CM) in November. The mobile version of the game will come with the same features and gameplay that made the original such a success. By seamlessly blending immersive gameplay with convenient mobile accessibility, 9CM will deliver not only substantial earning opportunities, improved accessibility, and engaging gameplay to users all over the world but the benefits of Web3’s decentralization, security, and privacy as well.
To facilitate registrations by fans, a streamlined pre-registration portal has been created by the 9CM team, as well as a step-by-step pre-registration tutorial that outlines pre-registration requirements, rewards, and important timelines. In-game resources such as gold, ores, tokens, and other bonuses, powerups, and rewards will be given to winners of the launch events, alongside the opportunity to play fun games and interact in other ways with the development team and community members.
Long-Term Impact
For some context on the potential of blockchain-based titles such as 9CM: The blockchain gaming market was valued at about $4.5 billion in 2022. This figure is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 70% to hit a whopping $65 billion by 2027.
The highly anticipated launch of 9CM exemplifies this growth and is an important milestone in Planetarium Labs’ roadmap in terms of expansion and development in the Web3 gaming space. It has been received with great enthusiasm across the blockchain, gaming, and Web3 realms and is expected to bring countless new users around the world into the Web3 fold.
JC Kim, the Co-Founder and CEO of Planetarium Labs, talked about the upcoming release of 9CM and said: “Our mission has always been to deliver the best experiences to the widest possible user base. Nine Chronicles is already one of our most successful titles with over 200,000 players. Now, with Nine Chronicles M, players can enjoy the game anywhere, anytime, using just their mobile phones. It will also be available on Google Play and Apple Store with support for in-app purchases, aligning with our strategy of introducing users – even those unfamiliar with crypto, to Web3 games in a user-friendly manner.”
Alan Lau, Chief Business Officer of Animoca Brands, which led Planetarium Labs’ $32 million Series A funding round in 2022, also commented on 9CM by saying: “The development and design teams of Planetarium Labs have decades’ worth of collective experience in gaming and blockchain technologies, and we’re thrilled to be part of this upcoming launch. Idle RPGs represent a popular and growing gaming genre, and Nine Chronicles M could become even more successful than the PC version, playing a crucial role in driving Web3 adoption.”
Looking to the Future
The Planetarium Labs team raised over $32 million in Series A funding in 2022 and has decades of collective experience in the gaming and blockchain spaces. The tech visionaries, thought leaders, and programming experts on the Planetarium Labs team are building the experiences and offerings that are helping Web3 gaming finally take off.
While there are tens of billions of dollars at stake over the next few years, Planetarium Labs has shown that it has the necessary skills and understanding of its target markets to make the latent potential of Web3 decentralized gaming a reality for players all around the world with new titles, immersive experiences, reliable earning streams, and customization for all. As we prep for the launch of 9CM, stand by for big things in the Web3 gaming space.
