**Seven Knights Revolution, blockchain and virtual human introduction ‘on hold’**
*Blockchain adoption ‘premature’… When entering the global market, the characters in the Koryo game should focus on advancing into other media.*
At a meeting where Netmarble introduced its next work, ‘Seven Knights Revolution’, which was about to be released, it was announced that it had no intention of introducing a blockchain-based economic structure and virtual human characters.
‘Seven Knights Revolution’ started pre-registration on Android OS in December of last year, followed by pre-registration on iOS on the same day. In addition, ‘Sena Beans’ in collaboration with NFT (Non-Fungible Token) Meta Beans will be sold from the 11th of next month, and all proceeds will be donated.
However, in the Q&A process at the end of the showcase, when asked if they plan to apply a blockchain economic structure such as MBX or CUBE to ‘Seven Knights Revolution’, he said, “As we start the service in Korea first, we do not consider it. â??We will be able to consider this as we transition to a global service in the future.â?
MBX is a blockchain officially launched by Netmarble in March this year, and the blockchain-based economic structure has been applied to the global editions of ‘A3: Steel Alive’ and ‘Second Country: Cross World’. CUBE is a blockchain based on the blockchain ‘ITUMCube’ of ITAM Games, a game company acquired by Netmarble F&C.
Netmarble F&C subsidiary Metaverse Entertainment is promoting the ‘virtual human’ business, and announced that it will release characters based on the virtual human in the new 3D graphic game ‘Overprime’ currently under development.
In addition, Seven Knights characters Rachel, Jave, Lani, etc. participated in the presentation at the showcase on the same day and showed off their metaverse-related technologies through directing, such as presenting content or directing the finishing touches with ‘Seven Knights Revolution’ PD Ahn Jun-seok.
When asked if virtual human characters like Overprime could appear in ‘Seven Knights Revolution’, Netmarble said, “Rather than virtual humans appearing in Seven Knights Revolution, we plan to focus on the advancement of the characters in Seven Knights Revolution into other media.” “We will be able to present a variety of contents such as the song performance that we showed today,” he said.
