Worldwide Webb is a pixel art-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that integrates blockchain technology to provide utility for various NFT projects. Launched in 2020 by artist and game designer Thomas Webb, the game allows players to use their existing NFTs as in-game avatars, pets, lands, items, and quests, thereby enhancing the interoperability and functionality of digital assets.
In February 2023, Worldwide Webb secured a $10 million Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital. This investment aims to expand the development team, integrate additional NFT collections, and establish partnerships with brands and intellectual property holders. The game supports a wide range of NFT collections, including CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and Cool Cats, enabling players to bring their unique digital assets into the gaming environment.
Worldwide Webb offers various gameplay features such as land ownership, player-versus-player combat, and customizable in-game items. Players can purchase virtual land, create and trade NFTs, and engage in battles using their NFT pets. The game also plans to introduce a player-versus-player mode called Blockbusterz, allowing teams to compete using their NFT avatars.
By blending traditional gaming elements with blockchain technology, Worldwide Webb provides a dynamic and player-driven experience, contributing to the evolving landscape of the crypto and web3 gaming ecosystem.
