Veteran video game creator Paul Bettner, who co-created mobile gaming smash Words With Friends and helped develop the classic Age of Empires franchise, has been working on his Web3 game Wildcard for over five years. Now he’s finally ready to share it with the world.

The first public playtest of Wildcard is set to launch February 23 in an event called “Melee on the Meteor.” The game, which Bettner says was designed with spectators in mind, is a competitive multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game akin to smashes like League of Legends and Dota 2.

Wildcard serves up player-versus-player (PvP) gameplay, virtual NFT cards, real-time strategy (RTS) elements, and Web3 integration via Ethereum scaling network Polygon. “Melee on the Meteor” will take place in a virtual venue called Frostburn Arena, and viewers can watch from within the in-game 3D arena as two characters duke it out on a grand scale—and even collect NFT rewards in the process.
