Web3War® (W3W) is the free-to-play, seasonal content-oriented first-person shooter crafted by the industry-leading game developer Roll1ng Thund3rz and incubated by Zilliqa, the trailblazer in blockchain technology and the OG of Layer 1.
W3W masterfully fuses time-honored gaming principles with innovative Skill-to-Earn (‘S2E’) mechanics and prioritizes fun and high-quality gameplay above all else. Already earning rave reviews from players, W3W has been endorsed by several elite esports teams and established partnerships with Google and Microsoft.
W3W is the marquee game in a pioneering gaming ecosystem and is hosted on the flagship FUS1ON® gaming hub. Designed for mainstream as well as Web3 natives, the game’s simple and fast onboarding process, wallet creation and game/marketplace access offer a familiar experience for all users. On the FUS1ON® gaming hub, players can also buy Web3War® skins and swap $FPS tokens. The hub bears resemblance to Valve’s renowned platform Steam, whilst being complimented by a suite of tools reminiscent of Steamworks.
65k+ player accounts have been registered to date, all with unique wallets. W3W demonstrated a great product-market fit and that players are returning to play the game.

The project’s fun-first-gameplay-crypto-second philosophy is combined with an innovative Skill2Earn model that seeks to solve the short-termism and speculation inherent in early Play2Earn games. The team has created a sustainable incentive economy that allows players to purchase Web3War® tokens ($FPS) that, amongst other utilities, can be invested as entry fees into games with the potential to yield substantial rewards through victory on the battlefield.
For the game’s first season, the team has unveiled exclusive in-game assets, such as skin NFTs, accessible via the marketplace on the FUS1ON® gaming hub or by owning a Season Pass. To obtain this pass, players stake a designated amount of $FPS tokens, progressing through levels in a manner akin to traditional Web2 gaming systems. Given the inclusion of crypto rewards, the significance of the advanced N3utr0n® anti-cheat/anti-hacking system cannot be overstated, safeguarding fair play and the legitimacy of rewards.
W3W brings to the table a rich gaming experience, featuring a wide array of FPS mechanics. With a total of 44 different weapons and specific attachments for each, players can unlock and customize their arsenal by simply playing the game. The more adept players naturally advance at a faster pace, gaining access to an even wider spectrum of weapons and customizations.
The game boasts a sophisticated reward system, offering ribbons, medals, and achievements, enriched by daily, weekly, and seasonal missions. Gameplay is further amplified with experience multipliers (x2 and x3), while comprehensive statistics provide insights into player prowess, and leaderboards spotlight the elite.
There are currently 15 different maps available in Web3War®, with even more coming to the game in the future. Each of these maps offers a unique tactical challenge, encouraging you to learn the best choke points, sniping spots, and more. Web3War®’s high-quality graphics extend to the visual design of its maps. Take a walk through the new Blizzard winter map to experience the impressive visual design of Web3War®.
There are also special maps like festive editions like Halloween and Christmas and three maps dedicated to the upcoming Season-1 launch. These cater to both regular free-to-play sessions and competitive-ranked matches.
Merging high-definition textures with HDR-enabled graphics, W3W stands shoulder-to-shoulder with AAA titles in visual brilliance and depth. This gaming ecosystem not only reshapes the industry's landscape yet also prioritizes player enjoyment, all whilst maintaining optimal performance and high frame rates.
Web3War® allows you to equip and customize a range of weapons, from precise, long-range sniper rifles to deadly short-range shotguns.
Weapons can be fitted with your choice of attachments, and these can be unlocked through the deep and rewarding progression system. In Web3War®, you can earn experience from daily or weekly missions, racking up kills and objectives, winning matches, and completing achievements.
Weapons can also be customized with cosmetic skins, which are tokenized as NFTs and truly owned by you, the player. The more you play and win, the more weapons, attachments, and other items you will add to your arsenal.
Zilliqa’s blockchain is enabled to ensure true ownership and participation in the W3W’s direction - providing the opportunity for players to own and control their assets, whilst contributing to game features and content.
One of the most exciting use cases for NFTs is the creation of cosmetic items that can be used across multiple games. Roll1ng Thund3rz has committed to implementing this functionality, meaning that cosmetic skin NFTs purchased or earned through gameplay in Web3War® will also be usable in future titles.
This adds exciting utility to digital assets that have historically been locked to single games, creating more value for players across a new and flourishing Web3-powered ecosystem of online gaming.
W3W and the gaming hub debuted earlier in 2023 and their revolutionary releases promise to usher in a new era for the gaming world.
A key highlight in W3W is the NFT-skins collection, which has been well-received by the hybrid market we are catering to. Their integration and the $FPS token have seamlessly woven together into the fabric of the gaming experience.
In terms of gameplay, W3W takes cues from game classics like Counter Strike and Call of Duty, delivering fast-paced matches that elevate the gaming experience from arcade-style to a more ‘hardcore’ gaming level. The user interface follows a proven AAA-level format for an FPS game. Whilst player numbers continue to increase to c55k, there has not been a single instance of hacking or cheating in the past year.
The team’s commitment to each gamer’s experience plus exceptional game performance ensures that W3W is accessible to a wide range of players and devices, with frames per second (FPS) consistently high. The game boasts large, expansive content levels that are meticulously designed, offering players a vast and immersive gaming world to explore. From sprawling urban landscapes to intricate underground facilities, each level is rich in detail and texture.
This high-quality gameplay, combined with considerable volume of content, plus fully customisable features, such as skins and weapon builders, offers players a heavily personalised gaming experience. Classic modes such as ‘Capture the Flag’ and ‘Domination’ place promote team-based strategic gameplay, whilst other fast-pace, intense formats such as ‘Team Death-Match’ and ‘Solo Death-Match’ test individual skill and reflexes - all providing a thrilling battle of wits and marksmanship. Other modes include ‘Gun Game’, ‘Kill-Confirmed’ and ‘Training Course’ offer dynamic and adaptable game challenges for players to improve their skills and S2E potential.
With these diverse game modes, W3W ensures that players can find the experience that resonates most with them, whether they are seeking teamwork, intense competition, or personal growth. The combination of cutting-edge graphics, high-performance optimisation, and an array of engaging modes cements W3W’s status as a revolutionary and highly entertaining gaming experience.
