Microsoft Grants Blockchain-Based Web3 Game StarHeroes As Historic Partnership Gets Going – Press Release Bitcoin News
press release
PRESS RELEASE. In what many agree is a groundbreaking achievement, StarHeroes recently received a Microsoft scholarship. As a result, the blockchain-based game now has access to Azure PlayFab, joining the legendary collection of games such as Forza Horizon, Sea of Thieves and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.
This grant is also an indication of the change in the attitude of large companies as an increasing number of institutional enterprises, firms and large-scale organizations have continuously expressed a fundamental interest in incorporating blockchain technology into their daily routines, services, products and functions. . This is also the very first time that a Web3 game has received such a grant from a large company such as Microsoft.
What sets StarHeroes apart?
StarHeroes is a third-person space shooter that features dynamic space battles in a fairly large world open to players for exploration and combat in two different multiplayer modes: ranked and adventure. The production also represents the Web3-based Play And Earn model, i.e. the one that allows players to earn real money for playing the game. It is simply because anyone can try this game without having to invest money in it and, believe it or not, earn money just for playing at no cost to the players.
While it’s true that many elements of this production come in the form of virtual, unique tokens, that’s not to say that there aren’t some free-to-play options as well. Once again, StarHeroes is a game meant for everyone and as a result both blockchain players as well as traditional players have the opportunity to compete in the same game, focusing on skill, determination, strategy and player cooperation. In terms of actual gameplay, StarHeroes focuses on player rivalry and engagement, and both offensive and defensive units are available to build the most competitive team (fleet). In this way, the game offers a competitive and vibrant PvP scene, which is among the most popular types of games available today across a variety of game genres.
A historic partnership
The creators recently discussed the aforementioned significant achievement, namely StarHeroes receiving a grant from a tech giant, Microsoft. This grant allows them to work with renowned studios such as Ubisoft and Microsoft Studios. All of this opens doors to great success as it creates many incredible opportunities for development – both for StarHeroes and its developers. Ubisoft in particular is known for creating popular titles such as “Prince of Persia” and “Assassin’s Creed” games, just to name a few.
Of course, while some players may remain skeptical of the Play And Earn and NFT-verse game concepts, StarHeroes still shows a lot of promise in many ways. Naturally, big companies must think this too, since Microsoft has recognized the game and its potential. But perhaps more importantly, the partnership with Microsoft will open the doors to blockchain games in general, with the goal that many other titles will get a similar chance to work with large companies in the future.
What kind of potential does StarHeroes have for the future?
The game has been in development for more than two years, and now StarHeroes is finally gaining significant influence and is quickly making headlines in both crypto and traditional media. As such, the development team includes various former CD Projekt Red employees who worked on games like ‘The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’ and ‘Cyberpunk 2077’, so there’s a good chance that the two years spent developing StarHeroes were well spent .
In general, the StarHeroes founders also see huge potential in blockchain-based eSports games. Although these are not yet mainstream, StarHeroes could be a good start for blockchain games in terms of being able to attract the attention of traditional players. With that in mind, the StarHeroes game has been modified for the organization of eSports tournaments, which is also the direction the developers intend to take given the great popularity and success of the eSports industry, including games such as “League of Legends”, “Starcraft” and ‘ DOTA 2’.
Simply put, StarHeroes has the potential to not only succeed in its own right, but to lead the charge for other blockchain-based games as well.
