Avalon Corp. says it is developing a platform and tools to revolutionize how games and virtual experiences are built. Sean Pinnock stated that he “foresees an interoperable universe, tied together through technologies such as game engines and blockchain technology”.

Walker Labs describes itself as a web3 game developer. Its new title “Walker World” is apparently an open-world multiplayer third-person science-fiction zombie shooter adventure. The new game is built in Unreal Engine 5 and is slated for a late 2023 launch.

Daniel Branteström, the co-founder of Walker Labs, said in a statement: 

“Our goal with Walker World is to be a market-defining, AAA-quality game and immersive experience and we are beyond thrilled to unveil the first glimpses of it. Our team is so proud of the story, the Walker characters, and the world we’re building. We see the metaverse as the next evolution of interoperable gaming, and Walker World takes full advantage of those possibilities.”
