The Open Beta for Forgotten Runiverse has officially concluded. As players explore this fantasy-filled world, the game's performance has exceeded expectations and the numbers are speaking for themselves. Here’s a breakdown of how it went and what’s next for this blockchain-based RPG.Forgotten Runiverse is a classic MMORPG game where players create and customize their characters to explore vast, dungeon-filled worlds; go on challenging quests; and engage in boss battles. The addition of dungeons is one of the highlights of the gameplay. Players can easily access them via the map in order to explore new areas, fight tougher bosses, and farm resources.The fantasy game is based upon the Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult, which is actually a collection of 10,000 Wizard NFTs. Members of the cult have added to the decentralized lore of the collection (and, thus, the game itself) by contributing stories, art, lore, memes, and more the overall canon of the collection.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/Forgotten_Runiverse_open_beta_recap_01_7d6299fbfe.jpg" alt="Forgotten-Runiverse-open-beta-recap-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_Forgotten_Runiverse_open_beta_recap_01_7d6299fbfe.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h2>Open Beta Recap: The Results</h2>&nbsp;The Open Beta for Forgotten Runiverse was a huge success, with the game gaining a lot of attention and recognition. <a href="https://x.com/RuniverseGame/status/1836466370596474935">During the beta phase</a>, Forgotten Runiverse was ranked as the #1 Web3 RPG by DappRadar and #4 overall in the Web3 gaming category.
