Bright Star Studios are the creators of Ember Sword. Described as a web3 open-world sandbox role-playing game inspired by MMO legends such as World of Warcraft, Runescape, and Guild Wars. Ember Sword has cartoonish and simple graphics and will offer players: Quests, Nations, PvP, PvE, Guilds, Crafting, Professions, Gear, Roleplay, Trading, and more.

Ember Sword is preparing for an open alpha playtest this month – opening on April 18th and 19th, 2023, from 10 am CEST until 23:59 CEST each day. No token or NFT ownership is required for this alpha. Players need only register an account on the Ember Sword website.

There will be a series of five quests for this alpha, each one previewing a different part of the gameplay. The quests will be an introduction to the game and include PvE combat, resource collection, crafting, puzzle solving, and a PvP arena. 

Ember Sword migrated to the Immutable X system in 2022. 

It has a significant emphasis on Nations. In ARPGs and MMORPGs usually nations just affect PvP activities. But in Ember Sword, it is more complex than that. Nations affect the area where players will begin and each area is linked with a certain type of activity. For example, there are areas that are related to PvP activities, other areas with world bosses, and other areas with questing and trading. Players, when choosing a Nation, should consider which types of activities they want to engage in. Obviously, there will also be PvP activities between different Nations. Initially, only Solarwood will be available.

The four available Nations are: Sevrend, Solarwoord, Duskeron, and Ediseau.

As a web3 game it also has NFTs and in the future apparently a crypto token. It will be free-to-play and NFTs will exist in the form of cosmetics, land plots, and badges. Players, by fighting monsters, might drop some of these skin NFTs that can be then sold on the Immutable X marketplace.
