When you think about video games, you might picture running through levels designed by someone else, following storylines that someone else wrote. But what if you could call the shots? What if the game world moved because you moved it?
This is the vision MetaGravity paints with Edge of Chaos, where you’re fully in control from the press play.
At the Heart of the Revolution: The HyperScale Engine
MetaGravity is the architect behind the HyperScale Engine. This is different from your everyday game engine, designed from the ground up to manage the chaos of player-driven worlds on an unprecedented scale:
- No More Sharding: Traditional games split players into different servers or instances to handle crowds. The HyperScale Engine breaks through this limit, it integrates everyone into one continuous world, allowing for thousands, potentially millions, of players to interact simultaneously without breaking a sweat.
- Causal Partitioning: Think about it like this: when you throw a stone into a pond, the ripples reach far, but only the closest water moves immediately. This tech does something similar, reducing server interaction to only what’s necessary, cutting costs, and boosting efficiency.
- Building and Battling on a Grand Scale: Ever wanted to build a city that rivals ancient Rome or lead an army in a battle that feels like it could rewrite history? Here, you can. The engine supports player-built metropolises and epic skirmishes where strategy, not server limits, decides the victor.
Choose Your Own Adventure, Build Your Own Story
In Edge of Chaos, your actions are the story itself. You decide how you would want to navigate this intense world filled with adventure.
The Ancient nodes are your ticket to becoming a god-like entity within the game. Holders of the Ancients can shape regions, influence economies, and alter the game’s narrative arc. It’s about giving players the power to be creators, not just participants.
Every decision, from building alliances to declaring wars, leaves a lasting mark on the world. This is a living, breathing universe where your legacy can endure any challenge.
“We have a clear pathway in front of us to get to millions of concurrent players in a single battle, and beyond, without any real limits in sight,” stated Rashid Mansoor, MetaGravity CEO.
MetaGravity’s Edge of Chaos is an invitation to step into a world where you’re not just playing but leading, building, and shaping. It’s about giving players the reins to craft their own adventures, conflicts, and legacies in a universe that’s as vast as their ambitions.
This is where gaming leaps from being just fun to being fundamentally transformative.
To understand more about Edge Of Chaos, the team have announced a much-anticipated MetaGravity AMA on X, taking place on November 15 at 17:00 UTC. This session will serve as the platform for the Litepaper Reveal, where MetaGravity CEO Rashid Mansoor and Edge Of Chaos VP of Games Gareth Wilson will dive into the details of Edge of Chaos and introduce the Ancients launch!
