Web3 games and #metaverse projects continue to be the big promise of the next bull run 📈

But could any of them ever reach the success that #Minecraft did?

There are a few candidates for the next big game. Let’s explore them here 👇🧵

If you’re into #NFT gaming, you may have felt a direct hit last year when Minecraft announced that it would not support anything blockchain-related anymore 💔

But builders kept building 💪

And the community didn’t quit trying out revolutionary open-world & sandbox games!

There are already many AWESOME web3 games and metaverse worlds where you can play and earn 💰

The most popular ones right now are:
🔹Decentraland
🔹The Sandbox
🔹NFT Worlds

But how close are they to where Minecraft got? 🏔

Remember when Second Life came about & everyone was freaking out about living a different reality online?

Well, @decentraland improved & brought that to Web3 🚀

But while it does make open-world social metaverse real, it’s just different from the Minecraft gaming experience.

That’s when @TheSandboxGame stole the scene 🎮

It puts together #play2earn concepts with user-generated content and, in each season so far, has pushed forward what Web3 games can be.

So much so that despite the voxel graphics, traditional MC gamers struggle to jump in.

The @nftworldsNFT metaverse, however, always had the Minecraft values in heart & was even building on top of it until last year.

Now, it is creating its own game & metaverse platform where #ownership & creativity aren’t just welcome but encouraged 🤩

IF and WHEN any of these metaverse worlds will manage to onboard traditional gamers still remains to be seen 👀

However, by mirroring the success of old-time Minecraft, #NFTWorlds might just do it with the same focus on quality gameplay.

Data-thirsty? Here’s what the # tell us about these games in the last 30d:

DCL: 3.9k UAW (-12%)
Sandbox: 7.56k UAW (-9%)
NFT Worlds: 508 Land sales (+56%)

⚠️UAW ≠ Player. Not every user is registered on the blockchain!

Keep track of the top games

If you had to place your bet on the Web3 version of Minecraft, which game would you pick?
