Peter Molyneux Announces His Next Game: A Play-to-Win Blockchain-Based Simulator

A hot potato: Peter Molyneux, the game designer behind Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, Fable, Theme Park and more, has announced his next game: Legacy, a play-to-win blockchain-based business simulator that includes NFT. Hmm …

Molyneux’s 22cans study is in progress Legacy, which he describes as “a creative entrepreneur’s dream come true, an opportunity for gamers to create their own business, designing their own products from a myriad of possibilities while creating a business empire the likes of which the world has never seen. . “

Players must purchase initially “NFT ground, “allowing them to start their own in-game ‘blockchain business association. Business owners will have access to Legacy Keys, which can be loaned to other people who want to start an in-game business, apparently making them their partners. Borrowers will then share a piece of LegacyCoin, a new cryptocurrency built on the Ethereum blockchain, which they earn with the lender.

The actual game sounds like Sim City as players build and design factories, the products they create, a city, etc., with LegacyCoin earned through various competitive events. You can also use it to trade with others and buy NFTs in the game.

“Build a successful business to expand your empire, invent better products and produce them faster, turning your small town into a colossal and prosperous industrial city, in the quest to win competitions and win real money with your game … all while enjoying the game. Legacy “. says the page.

Molyneux’s last big project, which has long been accused of overpromising in its games, was Godus in 2013. It was embroiled in controversy due to microtransactions and an apparent focus on mobile devices – the PC version remains on. Early access to Steam, where it hasn’t been updated in seven years. He was also behind Curiosity: What’s Inside the Cube? A mobile app that saw millions of people tapping a cube in hopes of getting the final touch and winning a “life changing” award. That person is still waiting for your life to change.

It seems that Godus’ experience hasn’t deterred Molyneux from embracing such a controversial area as play-to-win / NFT games. Ubisoft is trying something similar, even though their ad video is hit with a lot of dislikes.
