The background of Delysium is set in 2045 when human beings discover a marvelous land in the decentralised virtual world and name it “Delysium”, which starts a battle between the real and the virtual world.
In Delysium, there are digitised real human beings living with MetaBeings, who are native residents born in Metaverse. Throughout a series of battles and struggles about interests, power, and resources, it is entirely up to the player to decide what the future of Delysium will be.
Features such as cyberpunk style, open-world, MMORPG, and UGC will offer abundant gameplay and experience in Delysium. Players can earn loot boxes (tokens, NFTs, game resources, etc.) by joining various game modes, and sell them in the marketplace or consume to upgrade the character/weapon/clothing with higher numerical values in PVE modes or to craft buildings as well as create weapon/cyberbodies with skins by themselves, etc.
All physical assets of players in the game, including MetaBeings, virtual creatures, cyberbody, weapons, vehicles, environmental objects, can be equipped, combined, and upgraded in Delysium through self-crafting or trading.
Players will also be able to easily create their own narrative assets, including dialogue models, behavioral models, decision-making models, storylines, missions, and other personalized entertainment scenarios made up of AI-powered MetaBeings.
Compared to the current web3 gaming industry, which is represented by Turn-Based Strategy games or Trading Card Games, Delysium emphasises diversified and supreme 3A open-world MMORPG (massively-multiplayer online role-playing game) experiences, including battle, exploration, construction, cultivation, social and AI-driven Meta Being gameplays to propel the web3 gaming industry into the next phase, making “Play to Earn” truly into “Fun to Play, Play and Earn”.
