Get ready to jump into Eden: Discovery, an ambitious multiplayer first-person shooter set to redefine Web3 gaming. This post-apocalyptic gem is planned for release in Q2 2025 and is already available to wishlist on Steam. Here's everything you need to know about this gritty, loot-driven survival experience where you can use one of your Xuman NFT's as a playable character.

The Core: Survive the Wasteland

20 players are dropped into a desolate wasteland, the first playable map of many coming to Eden. Your mission? Loot as much rare gear as you can, eliminate any enemies on sight, and locate the extraction point and get out alive. Armed with just a standard-issue assault rifle and pistol, will you have what it takes to amass piles of riches; because if you die… all the loot, and gear from the match drops for the next scavenger to claim.

Enemy players aren't the only thing you've got to worry about in the wasteland! Players will encounter mysterious, grimey military drones of three different classes, the scout, assault, and heavy variants. Hunting these drones down will be worth while, dropping a variety of different loot including: Full durability weapons, bullets, equipment, and weapon parts!

Player-Owned Eden: Real Estate & Customization

When you're not fighting for survival, you'll hang out in The Lobby, a community gathering center located inside of one of Eden's player-owned plots of real estate. Including: Single housing units called pre-fabs, housing blocks containing 8 pre-fabs each and a lobby, and Domes, the pinnacle of Eden real estate, each Dome contains 62 Pre-fabs!

The pre-fabs are your personal vaults for storing loot and crafting items. Pre-fabs offer deep customization, containing 6 equipment slots, allowing you to install utility modules to aid you in matters such as crafting, survival, storage and so on. Allowing each player to specialize in something unique. You can deck out a pre-fabs interior with digital art or showcase your rarest in-game possessions.

Domes: Everything you need to know

Being a Dome owner in Eden brings Utility like we've never seen before in a web3 game. A huge part of that is the ability to rent the pre-fabs in a Dome (or a housing block) to other players of Eden for a returning fee. The core vision for Eden's domes is to enable full scale customization for dome owners via a Software Development Kit (SDK). Make your city stand out with limitless possibilities.

There are 62 Domes in the City of Eden: Discovery, one of these Domes is called the Demi-Dome. This is a Dome specifically for the owners of the other Domes in Eden. Each Dome owner will receive one prefab in the Demi-Dome, where you can network and collaborate with the other Dome owners of Eden.

Creator-Driven Future

Eden takes cues from Roblox and Fortnite with its user-generated content (UGC) focus. Soon players will be able to create custom maps, game modes, and skins, with the devs planning to implement a sustainable reward system—think Fortnite creator codes or Roblox's Robux payouts.

Web3 Meets FPS: NFTs and SOL Tournaments

Every weapon in Eden: Discovery doubles as an NFT, bridging the game and the blockchain. Bring an NFT in-game, and it's burned—unlocking the weapon for use and limitless modification inside the game. When you're ready, mint it back on-chain as a new NFT. This seamless integration ensures your gear lives both in the wasteland and on the blockchain.

The Web3 flavor doesn't stop there. Player-generated tournaments let creators set buy-ins (e.g., 0.1 SOL). Survive and extract? You keep all the SOL you've collected. Die? It drops as loot alongside your gear. It's a high-risk, high-reward system that keeps the adrenaline pumping.

Xumans and Eden: What's The Utility?

X Humans are a collection of 10,000 3D XPunk NFTs that offer more than just the typical NFT experience. Holders of X Humans will be eligible for an $EDEN token airdrop and can stake their NFTs to earn passive rewards. Additionally, your X Human can serve as your in-game character, unlocking exclusive perks and access to special events. Looking ahead, you'll be able to use your X Human as your 3D identity across various virtual worlds in the metaverse. Owning an X Human also grants you early previews and priority mint spots for future releases. The project has already seen strong demand, with over 50% of the collection sold during a successful community pre-sale. Pre-sales will soon expand to other communities, so stay tuned for announcements about eligible groups to ensure you don't miss out.

Eden aims to cater to both the gamers, and non gamer NFT investors. They've added the ability to send your humans out on raids to passively get loot for you while you're not playing. Gain items passively and supply players with that sweet sweet loot!

What's Next?

Eden: Discovery launches in Q2 2025 with a tight, competitive foundation, but the roadmap hints at a sprawling evolution. Created by the same team behind the massively successful XPunks (4.8M XRP traded) and Bidds, the #1 XRP marketplace ($35M+ moved). Whether you're a sharpshooter, a loot hoarder, or a Web3 enthusiast, this is one to watch. Wishlist it on steam now and gear up for a wasteland showdown like no other.
