What is the Outer Ring project?

Outer Ring project started three years ago as a “Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game” or “MMORPG”. It had also launched its tokenized assets. Last year, it launched a videogame called “Outer Ring Saga” based on a novel by Martin Wilsey. 

It is a fantasy cum science-fiction game in the Outer Ring universe. Players can interact, socialize, play, create and build things in a free-to-play mode in the universe. 

Every asset in the game is tokenized, meaning it could be transferred to the real world using its native tokens. The platform ascertains the ownership of the game items ranging from skins, guns, and ships to various other collectibles through NFT technology, says its whitepaper. 

Developed by Windex Technologies OÜ and Nexxyo Labs using the ManiacPanda Games brand of Windex, the platform allows players to choose different roles and play dynamics in various spaces, including planets, stars, spaceships, cities, lands, dungeons, etc.

According to the project's roadmap, in June 2022, it plans to launch Lootbox, and in Q3 2022, it plans to launch an NFT marketplace, merchandise and governance system and complete the DEX listing process.
