Seoul, Seoul, Korea South, 28th Apr 2025 — NEXUS, led by CEO Henry Chang, has officially launched its first blockchain-based game, Ragnarok: Monster World, on the CROSS protocol. Developed by 0x&, the title marks a significant step forward in NEXUS’s commitment to blending renowned intellectual properties with cutting-edge blockchain technology, while delivering a seamless multi-chain gaming experience.
A Fusion of Strategy and Real-Time Competition
Set within the expansive universe of Ragnarok Online, Monster World blends tower-defense strategy with dynamic, real-time player-versus-player card battles. Gamers can construct custom eight-card decks featuring iconic characters from the franchise and engage in head-to-head matches. With the integration of CROSS, players now have the option to log in directly using the CROSS protocol, expanding the game beyond its original launch on the Ronin chain and unlocking a more versatile, multi-chain environment.
Battle Pass System and Token Utility
Departing from conventional microtransaction models, CROSS introduces a monthly Battle Pass subscription. While the game remains free-to-play, subscribers receive xZENY tokens, which can be converted into $CROSS tokens or used to acquire exclusive in-game content. This subscription-based system offers players a transparent progression path while providing developers with a stable revenue framework.
AI Assistant and Ecosystem Expansion
Looking ahead, CROSS will incorporate an AI-powered assistant to support users with gameplay guidance, token usage, guild organization, and wallet management. By simplifying blockchain interactions and improving the overall user experience, this innovation is poised to accelerate the adoption of decentralized gaming and strengthen Cross’s growing ecosystem.
