Genso — Official Release & Campaign Details
We are excited to confirm that the official release date for “GensoKishi Online Meta World” is on November 30th, 2022.
As you know, this is the latest reincarnation of Gensokishi from a series of games which won the “Game of the Year” Gold Award in Taiwan in 2012 and has been downloaded a total of over 8 million times since.
Our game incorporates elements of NFT into a metaverse virtual space composed of 3D MMO (3D Mass Multiplayer Online) technology and uses blockchain technology to create a new fantasy world economic sphere.
The Web3 version won the Tokyo Blockchain Game Award and currently boasts a community of approximately 300,000 players.
Past Achievements
Over the past year, we have reached many milestones and celebrated amazing reception from our community.
- Our launch on TrustPad became the fastest ever sell out of any launch pool ever conducted on their platform
- The Gensokishi launch pool on Bybit, one of the world’s largest virtual currency exchanges, reached an all-time high of 69,000 participants and over 22 billion yen in stakes to obtain the project’s virtual currency token $MV.
- Gensokishi Online was inducted into the MEXC Global Kickstarter Hall of Fame for achieving 500% of the target vote rate in just 10 minutes and was listed on the exchange on March 7, 2022
- Our community exceeded 100,000 registered community members in just the first 20 days of its launch. At present, the Genso community consists of over 300,000 people!
- One of our proudest achievements to date was our collaborative NFT collection with legendary artist Yoshitaka Amano. Known for his beautiful designs for the Final Fantasy game series, we were grateful to produce a series of cosplay gear designed by Amano himself. You can find out more about the collection by watching the interview below:
Held on 20th November 2022, the Yoshitaka Amano collab NFT collection presale ended in under 7 minutes and was a massive success.
You can see the pieces on our official marketplace here:
Whilst working on our global marketing campaign and acquisitions, our community remained loyal as ever and truly helped us make the most of our beta testing. The Open Beta phase was a massive success, due to its free-to-play onboarding model, attracting users from around the world. Cosplay NFTs are also very popular and in-game importations were among our main points of sale this year.
It was a joy to see so many of you play and enjoy yourselves in Genso, we love to see your posts and playthrough videos on our social media channels, thank you! ❤
Official release preparation and schedule
In preparation for the official release, the game has undergone closed alpha/beta tests, as well as a public beta phase, which closed on 25th November.
Genso has undergone a variety of improvements based on user feedback and in-game balance adjustments. We will continue to implement new features as we go along so please make sure to keep an eye out on our social channels!
Once the game has officially launched, users will be able to play Genso on the following platforms:
Schedule
- November 25th, 2022 at 06:00 (UTC): Open Beta Session 2 closed
- November 30th (time TBA): Official Release
Expected updates after Open Beta 2
- Introducing a maximum issuing limit to items
- When the maximum number of issued items set for each item is reached, the item will no longer be available for purchase or drops.
- When items are sold to NPCs or used as reinforcement material for equipment, the number of items that can be issued will increase again.
- Setting a maximum limit for mini ROND distributed in-game
- Each region will have a set limit to the mini ROND distribution pool. Players can obtain miniROND by selling items to NPCs, but if all the miniROND in the distribution pool are withdrawn, NPCs will not be able to purchase items from players.
- When players use miniROND to purchase items from NPCs or used to enhance equipment, a portion of the mROND will be replenished to the distribution pool. NPCs will then be able to purchase items from players.
- Separate from the distribution pool, when ROND is imported into the game, mROND will be generated. This will allow for an economic circulation of ROND⇔mROND.
- Release of the official NFT import feature
- Importing an NFT will transfer the NFT from the player’s wallet to GensoKishi’s Management Contract. A gas fee (MATIC) will also be required when importing.
- Please be aware that if a character equipped with the imported NFT item is deleted, the imported NFT item will be deleted along with the character.
- Please make sure to export the imported NFT item or store the NFT item in a warehouse before deleting a character.
- Introducing a feature allowing miniROND to be exported as ROND.
- By depositing miniROND to a Bank NPC, the deposited miniROND can be exported as ROND.
- Exporting ROND will not require GAS fees, however, GensoKishi’s Management will collect a fee equivalent to a standard GAS fee when converting to ROND. Players will be able to receive the ROND amount with the Management fee deducted.
- Introducing a feature allowing in-game items to be exported as NFTs
- Items deposited to a Postman NPC’s interdimensional warehouse can be exported as NFT.
- Please be aware that in order to export NFTs outside of the game, $MATIC will be needed for GAS fees.
- We are introducing “SETUP” — a dedicated body part for equipping the Yoshitaka Amano Collaboration NFT, in the Cosplay Equipment UI.
- All items from the Yoshitaka Amano Collaboration NFT will be categorized as a “SETUP,” a Cosplay Equipment that outfits the entire body with a single NFT.
- Adjusting game balance
- Strengthening some of the monster parameters from Open Beta 2
- Changes to specific item drop rates, changes to item drop contents, and changes in item sale prices.
- Misc bug fixes
- Errors found in Open Beta 2 will be fixed for the official release.
We are currently working on the official release of the game. As the development progresses, there may be some changes to the above contents, and/or additional functions may be included.
