The lure and lore of the metaverse are set to combine with the launch of Forever Has Fallen (FHF), the web3 world that tasks players with taking on the role of bounty hunters. Following extensive development and testing, Forever Has Fallen is ready to see daylight, giving players a first taste of what the metaverse means in 2024. The title goes live on March 19 following years of development.
Technically a world, not a game, Forever Has Fallen is nevertheless designed for gamers and incorporates many of the elements that have come to define web3 gaming. These include the use of NFTs, a P2P marketplace, and blockchain rails to power in-world transactions.
The NFTs are used to represent the bounty hunter tickets that can be claimed within the Forever Has Fallen metaverse. They’re part of a ticketing system that aims to incentivize discovery while also supporting a fair secondary market for resale. Players can earn up to three tickets from playing Forever Has Fallen and subsequently sell these on the marketplace for a fixed price of $10.
Metaverses, by their nature, can be hard to define. They exist as virtual worlds in which different experiences, games, and quests can be undertaken. Forever Has Fallen is no different in this respect, though there is at least a theme underpinning the interactive elements that comprise its sprawling metaverse. Espionage, corporate intrigue, and murder course through the storyline, which concerns the suspicious death of Swedish billionaire Karl-Axel Mattiasson.
As bounty hunters, players are tasked with investigating the murder and the deceased’s former employer, a shady corporation promising digital immortality. The notion of digital immortality sounds very much like what a metaverse offers, making Forever Has Fallen extremely meta.
Once inside the virtual environment, players can expect to be kept busy solving puzzles, uncovering easter eggs, and grappling with what caused “forever” – i.e. the company promising immortality – to have fallen. The product of eight years’ research and development, FHF has been a real labor of love for its developer team.
“This new entertainment franchise is built with and for fans, providing an unforgettable adventure which they can earn rewards for sharing and contributing to,” enthused Kimon Lycos, Head of Creative at Forever Has Fallen, adding “It’s comparable to watching a great movie.”
Forever Has Fallen operates on a Polkadot parachain developed by Unique Network. This provides the scalable infrastructure for NFTs to be minted and traded and for other web3 components to operate. From the perspective of the developer team, however, the focus is on the player experience rather than the tech underpinning it.
Expectations are high that Forever Has Fallen can pioneer a new standard for metaverse entertainment, demonstrating that the combination of storytelling with puzzle solving can deliver a winning combination that will keep players coming back for more.
