Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds was very recently released to the global gaming community, introducing new players and longtime fans to a fantastical world with vibrant characters and beautiful sights. It’s a free-to-play MMORPG set in the world of Ni no Kuni, and it even contains callbacks to the franchise’s previous titles. What sets Cross Worlds apart from its predecessors, however, is its inclusion in a “blockchain ecosystem.”
Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds was developed by Netmarble, a South Korean mobile game developer. It follows the story of a beta tester for the fictional game “Soul Divers,” which transports the player to the world of Ni no Kuni. Netmarble has since announced its intentions of integrating cryptocurrency trading and NFTs into the gacha game.
Should Fans Play The First Two Games Before Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds?
In March of 2022, Netmarble unveiled its new gaming blockchain ecosystem, MARBLEX. The company intends to attach its many gaming IPs to the MARBLEX blockchain, including Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, thus creating the so-called blockchain ecosystem. This is done by implementing in-game features through which players can acquire MBX tokens that they can use outside the game.
For instance, Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds has Territe Tokens (NKT) and Asterite Tokens (NKA), both of which can be acquired simply by playing the game. These tokens will then go into the player’s MARBLEX Wallet and can be stored, exchanged, sold, or used to buy other products available in the blockchain ecosystem. In short, the tokens acquired in Cross Worlds can be used to avail of MARBLEX blockchain services. This is how Netmarble “attached” Cross Worlds to its greater blockchain ecosystem.
