WorldShards' $SHARDS Token Launch: MMORPG Goes Global
Lowkick Studio Launches $SHARDS as WorldShards Expands
Lowkick Studio has announced the official launch of the $SHARDS token, the central component of its upcoming Web3 MMORPG, WorldShards. The Token Generation Event (TGE) coincides with listings on major exchanges, starting with Bybit and Binance Alpha, marking the game’s transition from Early Access to a full PC release.
To celebrate this milestone, a 30-day free trial is being offered. Players who remain active for at least 25 days during the trial period will secure permanent access to the game, setting the stage for WorldShards' next phase of growth.
Fair Launch and Player-Driven Economy
The development team is employing a "100% fair launch model" for $SHARDS, foregoing token allocation for the team and early investors. The token distribution is designed to prioritize players within the game world. 60% of the tokens are allocated for game rewards, 25% for ecosystem development, and 15% for marketing and community growth.
All allocations include a 6-year vesting period, a common practice aimed at ensuring long-term platform sustainability. $SHARDS is integral to the WorldShards economy, enabling players to craft, upgrade, and acquire rare NFTs. Token transactions are both permitted and encouraged within the ecosystem.
Early Traction and Recognition
Prior to its token launch, WorldShards has already demonstrated significant traction within the blockchain gaming space:
- Over $8.9 million in NFT sales.
- More than 400,000 community members.
- Over 3.1 million hours of gameplay.
The project has received industry recognition, including being named “Most Anticipated Blockchain Game (2025)” and awarded “Best Game Design (2025)” by PlayToEarn.com.
Gameplay and Features
WorldShards combines the depth of a traditional MMORPG with blockchain-based ownership. Players can explore, craft, engage in PvE battles, own virtual islands, and acquire lasting digital assets within the magical sandbox world of Murrlandia.
Key Features:
- Digital land ownership.
- Crafting and economic systems tied to $SHARDS.
- Token drops for players with full access during the TGE.
Blockchain integration allows players to verifiably own their in-game items and assets, adding both economic and cultural value to the community.
