Cologne, August 19, 2024 - Prepare for chaos. MetaGravity today announced Edge of Chaos, a groundbreaking MMORPG poised to redefine the genre. Leveraging MetaGravity's proprietary HyperScale Engine technology for unprecedented scalability in MMO gameplay, Edge of Chaos pushes the boundaries of online gaming - promising supermassive PvP battles, a malevolent AI superintelligence and the opportunity for players to shape a persistent, single-shard world.
Edge of Chaos lets players enter a world of opportunity and peril, featuring unprecedented scale, fidelity, and persistence - all enabled by HyperScale Engine technology.
Rashid Mansoor, CEO of MetaGravity, said: “We are building the kind of game that virtually every gamer has always dreamed of playing, but was previously impossible due to engine and server technology limitations. We are very excited to unlock novel gaming experiences with MetaGravity’s HyperScale Engine: enabling populous player-built cities with functioning economies, epic massive battles breaking out spontaneously, and a persistent world where players decide its fate."
Here's some of what the game has to offer:
A game of thrones: From rapid-fire skirmishes to dynamic world events and grand-scale wars, Edge of Chaos engages hundreds of thousands of players simultaneously in a seamless, single-shard world. The social and political landscape of the world is not dictated top-down or set in stone, but rather, it emerges from the self-organising effect of individual decisions and decision-makers. Players collectively and individually add their own threads to a growing and rich tapestry that is in constant flux.
An evolving world: Acquire resources, craft and upgrade the items that power the game economy, build settlements, expand, and rule your fiefdom – or aid your liege lord as you strive to find your own unique place in the world. Civilization itself stands as a player-built bulwark against the rampant expansion of Nature in a living, breathing world.
PvPvE within a world in mortal peril:
Player choice is central to Edge of Chaos. Cooperate and compete with other players, striving for dominance, but beware – for provincial local squabbles may become overshadowed by the looming threat of an ever-evolving enemy – the Lord of Chaos, a near-omniscient superintelligence that learns to marshal its minions by studying the actions of all players. Unlike other MMOs, the threats to the World are real threats that can grow to overwhelm if left unchecked.
