Unstoppable Games announced it will launch its Web3 science fiction massively multiplayer online (MMO) game called Influence on the Starknet platform for the Ethereum blockchain. StarkWare, creator of Starknet, also made an investment into Unstoppable Games last month.
The sale of launch non-fungible token (NFT) assets for Influence will start on April 11, and the game itself will launch this summer.
Influence will be a space strategy MMO where humanity dwells among the asteroids and factions battle for resources. Chris Lexmond, CEO of Unstoppable Games, said the game was inspired in part by Eve Online and the sci-fi show The Expanse, the six-season video series that recently ended its run on Amazon Prime. He was also inspired by the book series of the same name by James S.A. Corey, a pen name of the authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.
Influence will be fully decentralized, meaning its creators can never “switch it off” and players will help to determine its future.
