HyperPlay’s overlay enables effortless creation of new quests, minimizing developer workload
FORT WORTH, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HyperPlay, the Web3-enabled game store empowering developers and gamers with freedom from deplatforming and greater accessibility, today announces the launch of its new questing platform, featuring quests from over 25 games. This launch brings Web3 quests directly into the games themselves through HyperPlay’s unique in-game overlay, allowing players to seamlessly and natively earn game assets. Quest rewards are highly diverse, including ERC-20 tokens, ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFTs.
Existing quest and rewards platforms have struggled to support the unique needs of Web3 games. Their products exist solely on separate websites outside of the game and require developers to heavily modify their games to integrate with each questing platform’s unique APIs. Eliminating this burden for developers, HyperPlay’s platform allows for quests to be displayed and tracked directly within HyperPlay’s overlay. The HyperPlay overlay is a graphical layer on top of every game the player launches from within HyperPlay, which displays in-game wallet interactions, quest information, and notifications.
The new questing platform introduces a variety of adventures and incentives that are also accessed directly within HyperPlay, creating a more unified play session for gamers. Unlike static achievements on traditional platforms like Steam, Xbox and Playstation, HyperPlay’s quest rewards offer tangible benefits and real-world utility, such as NFTs, tokens, and in-game reputation. Participants are granted flexibility in transferring and using their assets and achievements across MetaMask-compatible games, communities, marketplaces, and reputation protocols, providing greater value and a more interactive experience.
“The unmatched immersive player experience and diversity of our quests game line-up, and player rewards align with HyperPlay’s mission to create an ecosystem without limits,” said HyperPlay Co-Founder and CEO JacobC.eth. “We believe this will empower game developers to build much better Web3 games. The possibilities are as vast as the game worlds themselves.”
HyperPlay’s questing launch is supported by several major backers. Game7, an on-chain gaming ecosystem where both players and developers win, is offering Game7 Credits to players of 25 game quests on HyperPlay, in addition to each game’s existing quest rewards. Game7 identifies and empowers the most active and impactful players, granting them Credits for their engagement, which in-turn provide players with ownership and governance in Game7’s growing digital nation.
“By integrating Game7 Credits with HyperPlay’s questing platform, we can bridge off-chain actions with on-chain benefits, empowering players to become stakeholders in games they love,” said Jon Allen, Co-Founder of Game7. “For the first time, players’ dedication and skill can translate into real ownership and governance in a gaming ecosystem. This isn’t just about rewards; it’s about building a meritocratic digital ecosystem where the most engaged gamers shape the future of play.”
The launch is also supported by Mantle, an ecosystem of decentralized protocols for gaming and DeFi that includes an Ethereum layer 2 network. Mantle will offer enhanced rewards for games on its network. Players of these games can earn a combination of in-game quest rewards, Game7 credits, and Mantle rewards all from the same gameplay.
While HyperPlay will inaugurate its new quest system with the launch of play-streak quests, many different types of quests will be supported. Players can compete in leaderboard and in-game achievement quests as well as earn reputation airdrops. Despite the diverse quest types, each is designed with the primary goal of enhancing gameplay, providing unique benefits and engaging experiences that cannot be found on traditional platforms.
Developers are encouraged to build quests using tools found in HyperPlay’s robust Developer Portal, further streamlining resources all in one location. Most quest types can be built without engineering effort, as HyperPlay’s overlay handles the process instead.
Some of the games participating in the launch include Parallel, METACENE, XOCIETY, Phantom Galaxies, Forgotten Playland, Dark Throne, Uldor, Gotchi Guardians, Spirit Force Arena, Apeiron, Coinracer, MegaWeapon, Craft World, Legions 2029, Aether, Cosmik Battle, OneTap, Mighty Action Heroes, Medieval Empires, Portal Fantasy, Shutdown, Moonray, and others.
