The post states thatLegacyis a “creative entrepreneur’s dream come true,” and it will be an opportunity for players to make their own business. Players will be able to design their own products from a huge variety of possibilities to create their very own business empire. InLegacy, players will be able to make products, trade what they make with other players, and compete in various in-game competitions and events for leaderboard points and prizes.
The game will share some similarities totheSimsgames, as players will need to look after their factories, workers, decorations, etc. Player’s decisions and actions will affect the gameplay as they balance managing their business with the needs of their in-game workers. According to the post,Legacyoffers players the freedom to make these types of choices and more in the game.
Players can start Legacy blockchain business by either being a land owner or in-game business partner, which will play a part in players' businesses. The former allows players to own a Land NFT that will let them start their own “in-game blockchain business association inLegacy.” Players who start as an in-game business partner gain access to Legacy Keys that can be lent to other players who can start their own in-game business inLegacy, which would make them in-game business partners.
Along with that, 22cans will be launching LegacyCoin, a newcryptocurrency for the gamethat will be part ofLegacy’sin-game economy. The post states that LegacyCoin complies with the ERC-20 token standards, and it will enable the game’s blockchain experience and serve several purposes. This includes getting Legacy Keys to lend, trading in the game’s economy, “acquiring exclusive game item NFTs,” and other things that haven’t been revealed yet.
Players can earn LegacyCoin by competing in the in-game competitive events. In competitive events, players will put their design and management skills to the test against each other inLegacy. According to the post,Legacyisa blockchain gamethat aims to “push the boundaries of blockchain gaming beyond your wildest dreams.”
Legacyis in development and scheduled to release in 2022 for PC and Mobile.
