Web3 gaming platforms METABORA and Baligames join forces for the release of their puzzle RPG game combination
New Hybrid Web3 Game Combines Match-3 Puzzles with RPG Progression
METABORA GAMES and Korean game studio Baligames have partnered to create an exciting new game that blends casual match-3 puzzle gameplay with RPG-style progression mechanics. This innovative title will be launched on LINE NEXT's Dapp Portal, offering a seamless Web3 gaming experience for both casual users and blockchain enthusiasts [1][3].
Baligames will lead the development and live operations of the game, using their expertise in casual Web3 games like Axie Champions and Puzzle Champions. METABORA GAMES, on the other hand, will focus on the tokenomics structure suited for the LINE NEXT Mini Dapp ecosystem, providing marketing support [1].
The game will feature several key elements:
- Casual Match-3 Puzzle Mechanics: Easy-to-learn gameplay that attracts a broad player base.
- RPG-Style Progression: Traditional role-playing game elements such as character or team development, leveling up, and progression systems.
- Web3 Integration: Use of blockchain tokens (BORA) for in-game payments and transactions.
- Gas Abstraction: Simplifies blockchain interactions by letting the game cover transaction fees, improving user accessibility.
- Distribution on LINE NEXT's Dapp Portal: Players can access the game directly within the LINE Messenger app without separate installation [1][2][4].
This collaboration marks a significant step forward for both studios, as they aim to deliver accessible, engaging Web3 gaming experiences to a global audience. The game will also increase the utility of the BORA token within METABORA's ecosystem, as players can acquire in-game items using these tokens [1].
Baligames, recognized for its core team that includes developers responsible for the successful Anipang series, recently secured strategic investment from Sky Mavis, the creator of Axie Infinity [5]. This partnership with METABORA underscores a shared vision to innovate within the Web3 gaming space.
Moreover, the game will introduce a novel Gas Abstraction feature, allowing users to pay blockchain transaction fees using BORA tokens, even without Kaia tokens. This feature aims to lower the entry barrier for users unfamiliar with blockchain mechanics [1].
The game will be featured on the Dapp Portal, a digital platform built within the Kaia blockchain ecosystem. This venture demonstrates the convergence of casual gaming formats with blockchain-based systems, as established gaming studios like Baligames explore new frontiers through decentralized platforms [6].
This co-development announcement is a part of METABORA's broader initiative to bring high-quality Web3 titles to the Dapp Portal and diversify its game portfolio, expanding the adoption of the BORA token [7].
