Wilder World, one of the most anticipated projects in gaming and Web3, announced on Wednesday, August 20th, that it is unleashing its next major chapter: the launch of Super Early Access for its first-person shooter (FPS) mode, in partnership with global tech giant Samsung.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, Wilder World said the launch kicks off at Gamescom 2025, the world’s largest gaming convention, and will be marked by a $100,000 global tournament culminating in a live finale at a special location.
This is Wilder World’s second game mode, expanding beyond the wildly popular Wilder Wheels racing mode launched in 2024. The FPS debut represents a new era for Wiami - Wilder World’s massive open world metaverse.
The team added that on August 20 at Gamescom, gamers will get their first taste of Wilder World’s high-intensity FPS action. Anyone can compete, with qualifiers running from August 25 to September 9, playoffs from September 10 to 15, and the finals on September 24 live in a special, yet to be revealed location, where the top five players will be flown in, all expenses paid. Gamescom attendees can also claim a Samsung-branded playable POAP NFT, usable throughout Wilder World, simply by tapping the on-site NFC towers.
This latest development comes as
WILD, Wilder World’s native token, is in the middle of a breakout run fueled by a series of achievements. The Lamborghini partnership saw the Temerario collection sell out in just four minutes. The launch of Wiami.fun introduced a UGC engine enabling anyone to create tokenized skins and assets to be used inside Wilder World. Operation Titan unveiled a multi-million-dollar WILD buyback program. Metropolis delivered a lore-rich explainer of the Wilder World economy. CYPHER established a new US Treasury vehicle to tap into TradFi to fund ecosystem growth.
The team pointed out that Wilder World has been consistently ranked in the Top 10 Most Anticipated Games on Epic Games Store globally, competing shoulder-to-shoulder with AAA web2 titles.
While commenting on this launch, n3o, Co-Founder and Executive Producer of Wilder World, stated that,
“The $100K tournament isn’t just about esports - it’s a global stage to show the world that Wilder World is building at the frontier of gaming and the metaverse. Partnering with Samsung at Gamescom solidifies our belief that Web3 gaming will be a mainstream force in the next wave of entertainment.”
Wilder World is an immersive multiplayer metaverse experience set in a futuristic city called Wiami. Built on Unreal Engine 5, it offers photorealistic graphics, deep social experiences, and real player ownership through blockchain. From racing and FPS game modes to a player-driven economy powered by the WILD token, Wilder World is redefining what’s possible in gaming.
