Undeads, a Web3 game set in a world ravaged by an apocalypse, offers players the choice to play as either humans or zombies. In a recent AMA with Cointelegraph, CEO Leo Kahn shared his vision of creating an “AAA game” and his experience in the tech and crypto industry, including his previous work at PayPal where he raised over $300 million in funding. Drawing on his expertise in decentralized finance (DeFi) and payments, Kahn aims to set a new standard in the GameFi ecosystem.
Kahn acknowledged the existence of over 1,500 blockchain-based games in the Web3 space, noting that their quality varies. He explained that Undeads aims to be an AAA-rated game, similar to the games that players are accustomed to. AAA games are known for their high production budgets, exceptional graphics, extensive content, and broad marketing campaigns.
To achieve this level of quality, the Undeads team has partnered with industry giants such as Warner Brothers Studios for sound production. Kahn emphasized the importance of community engagement and mentioned that the team has developed several mini-games to keep players involved while the main game is still in progress. Some of these mini-games, like Rush, Viral, and Lottery, are already live.
Beta tests for Undeads will begin soon, with the main game set to release shortly after, depending on the results of the beta test. One of the challenges faced by the team was making the game accessible across multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and Steam devices. However, they see this as an advantage and have made efforts to make Undeads Rush a cross-platform game.
The launch of UDS, the project’s native token, is seen as a significant milestone for game rewards. Addressing concerns about inflation, Kahn assured that the token supply is limited to 250 million. Additionally, staking will be available by the end of May, allowing players to earn rewards through their participation.
Security is a top priority for the Undeads team, and they have partnered with Certik to ensure the project’s security and trustworthiness. Kahn mentioned that every member of the company, including himself, had to go through a rigorous KYC process to build credibility and trust within the community.
Looking ahead, the team’s focus is on delivering on their promises and improving the game based on user feedback. They are dedicated to continuous improvement, aiming to enhance the game’s performance and user experience.
Undeads aims to revolutionize the GameFi industry by combining innovative gameplay with blockchain technology. As Kahn aptly stated, the more you play, the more you earn. With a strong vision, robust development, and an active community, Undeads is set to redefine players’ expectations in blockchain gaming.
