In recent weeks, speculation has been rife about the potential integration of Web3 technology into SuperGaming’s upcoming title, Indus. However, the developer has now addressed these rumors, clarifying that the circulating information did not stem from an official announcement but was instead a misinterpretation from a live session. The developer explained that the information being discussed was merely one of many tabs open during a live stream, not a formal declaration. SuperGaming emphasized that while they are exploring various emerging technologies, including Web3, there are no current plans to incorporate such technology into Indus.
SuperGaming elaborated that the slide in question originated from an inbound publishing proposal submitted by a third-party entity. This proposal was among many that the company had received, reflecting their openness to evaluating a range of technological advancements. The developers underscored that, as of now, they have no plans to integrate Web3 into their game. They assured the community that any significant developments related to Indus would be communicated officially and transparently.
The statement also hinted at a degree of uncertainty surrounding the official release date of Indus. Although the game’s development timeline had allegedly been shared on SuperGaming’s Discord server during a live stream on June 6, 2024, it seems this timeline is more indicative of the game’s potential future rather than immediate plans. This timeline purportedly included milestones such as NFT drops and token launches, which appear to be planned for a future phase of the game’s evolution.
This revelation contrasts with SuperGaming’s 2022 assertions that Indus would not be a Web3 game. The timeline, as shared during the live stream, included significant milestones from the game’s inception to the Indus Creator tournament, which took place in August 2023. The next phase in the timeline hints at a “Chain Partnership,” potentially involving a collaboration with a blockchain technology partner. This aspect of the timeline, featuring a marketplace and NFT drops scheduled for October, suggests a strategic pivot that the company might be considering for the game’s development.
Reports suggest that the timeline may have been showcased during birthday celebrations for Roby John, Co-Founder and CEO of SuperGaming. IGN reported that a screenshot from the live stream was shared by credible sources, further fueling speculation about the company’s future plans. The screenshot highlighted key milestones in Indus’s development, culminating in the potential launch of blockchain-related features.
While the recent revelations have stirred excitement and speculation within the gaming community, SuperGaming’s official stance remains that no immediate plans are in place for integrating Web3 technology into Indus. The company’s communication has been aimed at setting the record straight and ensuring that any significant updates will be shared through proper channels.
In conclusion, the buzz around SuperGaming’s possible foray into Web3 with Indus reflects broader industry trends towards integrating blockchain technologies into gaming. However, for now, the company remains focused on exploring emerging technologies without committing to immediate implementation. Fans and stakeholders can expect that any future developments will be communicated with transparency and clarity, maintaining the company’s commitment to open and honest engagement with its community.
