Undeads Games is a Web3 gaming ecosystem centered on a post-apocalyptic zombie survival theme. The project combines a flagship Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) with several mini-games, all integrated with blockchain technology. The ecosystem features a player-driven economy powered by Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and its native utility token, $UDS. ^[1] The game's world is a persistent metaverse where players can explore, craft, fight, and trade assets. ^[2]​

Overview

Undeads Games is designed as a multiplayer survival MMORPG with a play-to-earn model, built using the Unity game engine. ^{[3] [4]} The flagship game, Undeads, is set in the dystopian, open-world metropolis of New Arc City following a viral outbreak. Players can choose to play as one of two factions: Human survivors or intelligent Zombies. The core gameplay loops involve exploration, gathering resources, crafting, player-versus-environment (PvE) combat against AI-controlled zombies, and player-versus-player (PvP) combat. ^[2]​

The project's economy is built on the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing the Immutable Layer 2 scaling solution to enable gas-free minting and near-instant trading of in-game NFT assets. ^[4] The ecosystem is powered by a dual-currency system: the $UDS token, an ERC-20 token for governance and high-value transactions, and Gold ZBUX, an off-chain virtual currency earned through gameplay. In addition to the main MMORPG, the ecosystem includes companion games such as Undeads Rush, Undeads Viral, and Undeads Fighters to engage a wider audience. ^[1]​

History and Development

Development of the Undeads Games ecosystem began in the first quarter of 2022 with team formation, the creation of a Game Design Document (GDD), and the initiation of smart contract development. ^[1] The project's whitepaper, lore, and art bible were completed by the third quarter of 2022, alongside the finalization of the tokenomics design with Brightnode and a smart contract security audit by Certik. ^[1]​

In the second quarter of 2023, the project held its Potions NFT mint via Mystery Boxes, following a period of internal alpha testing. The beta version of the mini-game Undeads Rush was launched in Q3 2023, with its official release in Q4 2023. The first quarter of 2024 saw the launch of the Undeads Viral social game and the beta launch of the flagship Undeads MMORPG. ^[1]​

The second quarter of 2024 was a significant period, marked by the flagship game's release on the Steam platform, the Token Generation Event (TGE) and listing of the UDS and NFTs. The official release of the flagship game occurred in Q4 2024, at which time the development of a VR environment also commenced. ^[1]​

In the first quarter of 2025, it was reported that the ecosystem was acquired by new shareholders, and the project introduced Mini-Apps on the TON blockchain. The UDS token onto the TON blockchain. ^[1]​

Undeads (Flagship Game)

The core of the ecosystem is Undeads, a free-to-play MMORPG available for PC on the Steam platform. Set in a vast open world, the game allows players to choose between surviving as a Human or hunting them as a Zombie.

Gameplay

The gameplay of the flagship Undeads MMORPG combines traditional survival mechanics with Web3 elements.

Setting and Lore

The game is set in the year 2035 within New Arc City. The city was quarantined following an outbreak of the HÈL virus, a bio-weapon that escaped from the secretive Rubicon Lab. The virus was initially designed to enhance human abilities but had unforeseen consequences. Most of the infected population devolved into mindless zombies, while a small minority with a unique genetic immunity retained their intellect, becoming "Smart Zombies." The conflict in the game is between the remaining Humans, who seek a cure, and the Smart Zombies, who see themselves as the next step in evolution and aim to eradicate the human race. ^[2]​

Factions

Players must choose one of two distinct factions, each offering a different gameplay experience. ^[3]​

• Humans: This faction offers a classic survival experience. Players must manage hunger, thirst, and health while engaging in resource gathering, crafting items, building shelters, and forming alliances to complete quests and reclaim territory.
• Zombies: Players in this faction take on the role of intelligent zombies. This gameplay style is more focused on PvP combat and hunting human players. Zombie players have unique abilities and are not bound by the same survival needs as humans. The VR-Zombies NFT collection grants special access and benefits to this faction. ^[2]

Core Mechanics

The game supports a variety of playstyles through its core features. ^[3]​

• Player-Driven Economy: The in-game economy is designed to be controlled by players. All valuable assets, such as high-tier weapons, armor, vehicles, and land, are represented as NFTs, allowing for secure trading on the Undeads marketplace and external platforms.
• Combat: The game includes both PvE, where players fight AI-controlled zombies and mutated creatures, and PvP combat. Organized PvP events include clan wars and tournaments with leaderboards and exclusive rewards.
• Crafting and Building: An extensive crafting system allows players to use scavenged resources to create weapons, tools, and medical supplies. Players can also construct and fortify bases on land plots to store loot and defend against enemies.
• Exploration and Resources: The open world of New Arc City features various biomes and points of interest with enterable buildings that can be looted for resources. Players can also utilize vehicles to traverse the world more quickly. Players can specialize in professions like biochemist or gunsmith to master specific crafting skills. ^[2]

Technology and Blockchain Integration

Undeads Games leverages blockchain technology to provide players with verifiable asset ownership and create a decentralized economy.

Game Engine and Blockchain

The Undeads MMORPG and its associated games are developed using the Unity engine. ^[3] The ecosystem is built on the Ethereum network, but it integrates Immutable, a Layer 2 scaling solution, to facilitate gas-free minting and fast, low-cost trading of NFTs. The project has also expanded its token's presence to the BNB Chain and has planned integrations with The Open Network (TON). ^{[4] [1]}​

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

A wide array of in-game assets are represented as ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFTs, granting players true ownership of their digital items. These NFT collections can be traded on marketplaces like OpenSea and Blur. ^{[1] [3]}​

• Characters: The main NFT collections include Undeads Zombies, a set of 6,666 unique zombie characters that serve as in-game assets.
• Land Plots: Players can own virtual land within New Arc City to build bases, generate resources, or rent to other players.
• Items and Consumables: High-value items such as weapons, gear, and cosmetic skins are minted as NFTs. Other collections, like Undeads Potions, can be used or "burned" to unlock a Zombie character.
• Utility: NFTs provide in-game utility, such as boosting earnings in Undeads Rush. The platform also supports NFT staking with advertised APRs up to 50% and has a planned NFT rental program. ^[1]

Tokenomics

The Undeads Games economy is structured around a dual-currency system, with the $UDS token at its core. ^[4]​

The $UDS Token

The Undeads Games ($UDS) token is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network with a total supply of 250,000,000. It serves as both a utility and governance token for the entire ecosystem. The token contract was audited by Certik. ^[5]​

Token Utility

$UDS is integral to the platform's functionality and has multiple uses: ^[2]​

• Transactions: It is the primary currency for buying, selling, and trading NFTs on the in-game marketplace.
• Staking: Holders can stake $UDS and NFTs to earn passive rewards. The platform offers a "Dual Staking" program with boosted returns.
• Governance: $UDS holders can participate in a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) to vote on key project and game development decisions.
• In-Game Activities: The token is required for high-value actions, such as upgrading top-tier items, breeding new Zombie NFTs, and paying crafting fees.
• Exclusive Access: Ownership of $UDS can be required for entry into special tournaments and for purchasing exclusive NFT drops.

In-Game Currency (Gold ZBUX)

Gold ZBUX functions as a stable, off-chain virtual currency. Players earn Gold ZBUX by completing daily quests and other regular gameplay activities. It is designed to provide consistent rewards that are shielded from crypto market volatility and can be redeemed for cryptocurrency. ^[4]​

Token Allocation

The total supply of 250,000,000 $UDS tokens is allocated to different segments of the ecosystem to ensure long-term growth and reward distribution.

Category	Percentage	Amount (Tokens)
Ecosystem	25%	62,500,000
