John Smedley's new studio, Distinct Possibility, is set to launch Reaper Actual, an open-world PC shooter with crypto-backed base upgrades and huge maps.
Reaper Actual offers limited NFT bases with unique characters but allows players to access assets via Epic Games or Steam without engaging with blockchain.
Backed by US$30.5 million from Bitkraft and Brevan Howard, the game aims for a gradual rollout, combining classic shooter tactics with optional Web3 perks.
The game's integration of crypto is optional, with players having the choice to claim in-game bases as NFTs or acquire assets through traditional storefronts, like the Epic Games Store.
