WORLDSHARDS is a life-simulation sandbox MMORPG set in the fictional archipelago of Murrlandia, a world composed of floating islands imbued with dormant magical forces. Players explore procedurally generated environments, engage in combat, trade, base-building, farming, crafting, and social activities. The game is being developed as a PC-first title, with optional Web3 elements designed to complement—rather than dominate—the core gameplay experience. Launched in early access in February 2024, WorldShards is led by Andrei Zimenco, a gaming industry veteran and monetization expert with over 20 years of experience and more than 10 internationally successful game titles. The team includes professionals who previously contributed to franchises such as World of Tanks, Allods Online, and other major projects that together accumulated over 300 million downloads and billions in revenue.
