Gigaverse is trying to expand. The high-risk, high-reward browser RPG that launched on Abstract in early 2025 went offline on 9th October after its final event, The Awakening.
It will return in the form of persistent MMORPG Gigaverse Online soon but that’s not the entirety of the plan. Instead, founder Dith says the aim is to build “the next great character company”, with a small, hand-animated character called Giga Noob at its center.
Quite how this will combine with web3 is unclear. Gigaverse’s existing GLHFers and ROM NFTs are being converted into the new Giga Legends collection. But Dith argues that “running an NFT collection” is not a real business, and that web2 fans basically never convert into NFT buyers. Instead of selling crypto assets to a mainstream audience, Gigaverse wants to sell that audience ordinary products.
