Background

THE CORE

The CORE is a dynamic strategy game where players and AI collaboratively craft and explore the mysteries of an evolving, economically sustainable virtual universe.

Current strategy games suffer from static scenarios that become repetitive and have low long-term engagement. Gaming studios typically issue new releases every 2-4 years, which drives redevelopment and reacquisition costs. THE CORE introduces dynamic gameplay where players' decisions impact the evolving storyline and universe, so they can become part of the narrative and shape it in any way they desire.

Players in The CORE build their empires and develop technologies for space exploration. The game features tokenized assets, with Districts as NFTs and resources as fungible tokens. These assets are crucial for driving space exploration and determining the most dominant emperors in the game. The CORE's gameplay revolves around the effective management of these assets, blending strategic empire expansion with the thrill of exploration.
