A multiverse character is a player-owned blockchain character that can be used and leveled up across multiple games within a blockchain gaming multiverse. These characters carry progress and value beyond a single title, giving players a sense of continuity and ownership across different gaming worlds.
How Multiverse Characters Work
The simplest way for developers to enable multiverse characters is by using a multiverse leveling coefficient—a variable that tracks overall player progress (for example, total play time or accumulated achievements). How each game interprets or applies this variable depends on the design choices of individual developers.
Approaches to Implementation
Game developers can choose how deeply multiverse progression affects gameplay. Common approaches include:
Cosmetic Upgrades
Progress made across games is reflected only in cosmetic ways, such as unique character skins or item appearances. These do not affect gameplay balance.
Minor Benefits
Progression unlocks small perks—such as additional inventory slots or slight enhancements—that provide value to players without breaking balance across games.
Real Progression
The most impactful approach. A character’s multiverse level directly influences in-game progression. For example, if a character levels up in one game, that same level is recognized in all other participating games.
