Jake Lee, Chief Publishing Officer of Planetarium Labs, expressed his excitement saying: “Idle RPG game downloads in South Korea have eclipsed those of MMORPG games, highlighting the remarkable expansion of the market. Notably, the game creatively leverages innovative Web3 elements such as self-balancing tokenomics and a dynamic guild warfare system that empowers top guilds to actively influence in-game resources and rewards.

Immortal Rising 2 inherits the fast-paced and stylish gameplay of the original game alongside offering enhancements to the user experience such as transitioning to quarter-view during gameplay. The first installment enjoyed significant success, as the game was the highest-grossing mobile game in the idle RPG category for a consecutive eight-month span, generating over $15 million in revenue exclusively from the Korean market. Complete with roguelike experiences and multiplayer virtual economy, these capabilities will serve as the foundation upon which creators can build and deploy new experiences of their own for gamers to enjoy.”Īt the event, Planetarium also revealed previews of Immortal Rising 2, a Web3 competitive idle RPG game that is poised to surpass its forerunner, Immortal Rising 1. The game’s innovative open UGC protocol ensures that content creation isn't monopolized by the few but democratized for the many, laying the foundation for a thriving multiplayer world. Song said: “Verse8 is more than a game it embodies the ethos of decentralization. Jake Song, CEO of XLGames and creator of the Lineage franchise – one of the all-time highest-grossing MMORPG games in South Korea, collaborated with Planetarium on the Verse8 project. Our upcoming lineup holds the potential to redefine the industry, addressing long-standing expectations.” After months of diligent development and design, we’re thrilled to finally publicly announce our vision for Verse8 and Immortal Rising 2 to the community.


We’re extremely excited to announce our upcoming titles and aim to make a significant impact in the Web3 gaming scene in 2024. JC Kim, Co-Founder and CEO of Planetarium, expressed his excitement about the event and the upcoming releases by saying: “Over 1,000 passionate Web3 builders registered for our event, underscoring the growing momentum and interest surrounding decentralized gaming. Armed with powerful and intuitive tools for world generation, distribution and monetization, creators can launch evolving virtual worlds of their own on Verse8 while leveraging community hubs to reach audiences, market their offerings, engage with users and partner with like-minded brands and players. Designed and crafted around an intricate multiverse backstory, Verse8 takes traditional online RPG to new heights.

The unveiling kicked off with Verse8, an open-source decentralized roguelike RPG protocol featuring a universe of moddable games that bring together multiplayer experiences, vibrant gaming communities, and virtual economies. The new games are expected to take the gaming community by storm, building on the success of Nine Chronicles, Planetarium’s first fully on-chain idle RPG game. Planetarium Labs, a community-driven Web3 gaming company that builds immersive and moddable experiences for users around the world, announced two new titles at Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) during the Web3 Game Unplugged event co-hosted by Animoca Brands and Intella X.
