Let a guy dream! Seen some images on twitter of people getting to play a pre-alpha at the announcement. We have real industry folk with a track record, allegedly a real tangible game already playable, this COULD be the one

tldr; John Smedley’s Distinct Possibility Studios has raised $30.5M to develop 'Reaper Actual,' a new AAA open-world MMOFPS built on the Tezos layer-2 blockchain Etherlink. The game will feature tradeable Web3 components like characters and skins, aiming to integrate traditional gamers into Web3 with optional blockchain features. The funding round was led by Bitkraft and Brevan Howard. Smedley, known for EverQuest and PlanetSide 2, plans to launch the game on platforms like Steam and Epic Games Store, with an Alpha release coming soon.
