The Hidden Potentials of Metaverse for Adventure Gamers

Written by — February 27, 2025 at 07:40

The Metaverse is a virtual world that enables users to interact with one another, third parties, and groups. The world architect can establish games and other software, and some metaverses enable external programmers and developers to create their own apps, worlds, and elements throughout the metaverse. For adventure gamers and other gamers, this can mean access to a surprisingly wide range of games within the metaverse.

What Is A Metaverse?

The advent and evolution of the Internet has led to many more opportunities for gamers and Internet users. Players can stream games online while those who enjoy playing roulette and other gambling games can enjoy access to the best online casino bonus promotions. The metaverse is a virtual world where people can meet, interact, play games, and enjoy other forms of entertainment and socialization.

Adventure gamers, in particular, can enjoy social interaction, as well as participate in worlds set up by other players. And, thanks to the integration and use of blockchain, the metaverse economy is lifelike, providing the opportunity to earn and spend money, as well as the chance to earn money.

Shared Experiences

The metaverse is a single shared experience. All users inhabit the same space, even though they may never meet or interact with one another. When two people visit the same coordinates of the metaverse, they will find the same locations and features at the same time.

Similarly, entities in the metaverse can set up shows, stores, and other events with players that participate all sharing the same experience. For adventure gamers, this is similar to playing massively multiplayer online roleplaying games, except rather than inhabiting a single game world, they are inhabiting the same metaverse.

The metaverse itself is not the game, but you will find games within it. The metaverse is already seeing an expansion of these shared experiences. Fortnite is considered a part of the metaverse as players can meet up inside the game world and share experiences.

The likes of DJ Marshmello and Snoop Dogg have performed concerts and shows within the Fortnite world, and this is a sign of what players can expect in the future. Artists can connect with fans on popular, modern platforms, and players get to experience their favorite acts.

A Constantly Evolving World

The metaverse is a shared experience. When two Fortnite players visit Tilted Towers, they both inhabit the same space. If a skyscraper has been destroyed by one player, when another player visits it, the skyscraper still shows the same destruction. This is true of the metaverse but on a much grander scale.

The metaverse evolves similarly to the real world. High street stores change hands frequently. If you were to visit any high street and then visit it again 20 years later, not only would the storefronts be different but it is likely that features will have been updated and upgraded.

The metaverse offers the same, although rather than having to wait 20 years to see these changes, they can happen overnight. Whereas specific game worlds like the one in Fortnite only offer very limited opportunities for players to make changes, metaverse inhabitants can have a significant impact on the universe around them.

Discovery

The metaverse is expansive, and opportunities and assets are waiting around every corner for the intrepid explorer. Adventure gamers will enjoy using the opportunity to get out there and see what the world has to offer.

In doing so, they may come across elements created by other players, as well as developers. There are some hidden gems just waiting to be discovered.

User-Created Games

There are already many games in the metaverse. Fortnite is the best known, but there are games established on blockchain that utilize even more of the metaverse in their creation: games like Axie Infinity and Decentraland.

What’s more, you can create your own metaverse games and assets. The metaverse is a great place to establish and hone your development skills while trying out games and elements from other players.

Meet Other Players

The greatest attraction of the metaverse to most people is the fact it is inhabited by thousands of other people. Players can encourage friends, both physical and online friends, to join them in the metaverse but there are also plenty of opportunities to meet new people.

Because of the open-world nature of the metaverse, you can do anything with these new people from challenging them to duels, inviting them to guilds. So evolved is the metaverse that weddings have even taken place. In 2022, a couple from Phoenix, Arizona, tied the knot at the Rose Law Group’s estate in Decentraland.

Supreme Court Justice officiant Clint Bolick oversaw the ceremony, which also means that it is a legally binding marriage in the real world. At the time, the law firm said they were setting a precedent for legal marriages conducted in the metaverse. 2,000 guests attended the wedding and gifts were given as NFTs.

In-Game Assets As Collectibles

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital collectibles. They are widely used in blockchain games, either as trading cards or in-game assets. NFTs are minted on the blockchain, where a permanent record of the transaction is created. The NFT can then be sold by the original creator to any purchaser. The file itself is transferred, but so too is the private key that shows ownership and enables the resale of the NFT in the future.

The popularity of NFTs, as tradeable collectibles, has died down a little in the past year, but NFTs are an important element in tokenization which, itself, is important to the metaverse. Items from player avatars to skins and even buildings are minted as NFTs, which also means these items can be bought and sold.

The buying and selling of NFTs, and the use of cryptocurrencies like MANA, which is decentraland’s primary currency, means that the metaverse has a highly evolved economy. It also means that users can create their own assets, mint them, and then potentially sell them for profit.

These assets can be added to games or challenges within the game world so that adventure gamers can pick up unique weapons, armor, and other items. These items can be kept for their stats, benefits, and kudos, or they can be sold as a means of profiting from adventuring.

While professional developers do have a head start because they likely have a better understanding of how to create the assets themselves, anybody can try their hand at minting in-game assets and selling them on.

Create Communities

For some gamers, the feeling of community is what drives them to play. That’s one of the reasons that guilds have become so popular in games like Albion Online. The guild ARCH in Albion Online has more than 20,000 members and while guild members do enjoy some gameplay benefits, it is the community that drives a lot of these members.

Members can group together to take on quests and challenge other guilds. In the metaverse, the community is important, and as well as joining guilds, players can create companies, guild houses, and other assets to further benefit the communities they develop.

Cross-Platform Play

The metaverse is accessible from basically any internet connection, even including mobile phones. And Fortnite is available through consoles and other devices. VR has become popular because it offers even greater immersion into the world. Don a headset and it feels a lot like you’re entering the OASIS in Ready Player One.

Not only can you access game worlds from your choice of device, but you can access them from any device whenever you want. That means, you can log on via PC when you’re at your desk, mobile when you’re away from home, and VR headset when you can wrest it from your partner’s head.

Because the world is constant, any changes you make to the world, through exploration, play, or development, will be updated when you log back in using a different device. It also means that the world will continue to evolve even while you’re not online.

Build What You Want

There may be some programming limitations but the metaverse enables you to basically build whatever you want, or whatever you’re capable of. Decentraland offers pockets of land for sale with users buying land and then developing homes, businesses, or whatever they want on those pockets.

Some pockets sell for thousands and even millions of dollars. Businesses have set up virtual versions of flagship stores within the universe, conducting business and offering experiences to other users.

Samsung holds regular events at Samsung 837x in Decentraland, including a creative hub that encourages users to develop and create assets to win prizes. Decentraland is also home to CitiBank, CocaCola, Domino’s Pizza, and many, many more companies.

Limitless Possibilities?

It’s a phrase that is thrown around a lot, but the metaverse isn’t limited by the same restrictions as the physical world. For a start, assets are permanent and they can be transferred from one area of the metaverse to another.

Some areas may have restrictions, but it is basically possible to use the weapon you won in a recent duel in your next quest. Or, the familiar you gathered for completing a specific quest can live alongside you in your virtual home.

There will come a time when worlds like Decentraland attract AAA game developers so you will be able to jump in and play a quick multiplayer Call Of Duty before heading off for a game EA FC, or potentially even play them both at the same time.

Conclusion

The metaverse is a virtual universe containing virtual worlds and virtual representations of people and players. It has huge scope to change the way people interact with one another as well as the world around them.

It is already possible to get married before browsing well-known stores, buying in-game assets, selling them again for profit, and then ordering a Dominos delivery before exploring the world to try and find new quests and adventures for you and your community members.
