Breaking Ground: Midnight to Launch the World’s First Deconstructed MMO on Aptos

Midnight Evergreen Technologies, Inc. (Midnight)
dares to reimagine the role of an AA game publisher, with a mission to
fundamentally reshape how we play together. Midnight is building The
Evergreen, the first (of-its-kind) publishing platform designed as a deconstructed,
composable MMORPG, delivering immersive, cross-genre experiences that
seamlessly span across various platforms, pushing the boundaries of how games
are played and enjoyed.

The Evergreen fuses enduring player progression
with constantly evolving gameplay, creating an interconnected arcade of
games that offer the reach, engagement, and monetization of a traditional
MMO—without the risks of a single theme, game narrative, or prolonged
production cycles.

Midnight proudly announces the launch of the first of its 26
planned core games in this Deconstructed MMO: The Evergreen: Midnight Market.
Set to release on Web, Mobile, and Telegram, and built in partnership
with Aptos Foundation, Midnight Market is a daring game of risk
and reward where every spin teeters between fortune and mischief. Combining the
thrill of crypto gaming with the reliability and scalability of Aptos’ Layer 1
blockchain, Midnight Market sets a new standard for decentralized gaming.

Players will find themselves in a high-stakes world of
chance, crafting items, earning tokens, and navigating encounters with the
elusive Night Pig. How far will you push your luck in pursuit of the
ultimate prize?

“Our partnership with Aptos Foundation marks a significant
tipping point,” said Steve Wade, Founder & CEO of Midnight. “Aptos’
innovative Web3 infrastructure aligns perfectly with our strategy to focus on
player participation in the ecosystems they engage with. Specifically, we’ve
solved for interoperability between games, and Aptos makes that solution a
reality.” Wade further explained, “We believe in the creator economy and see
Web3 as the next logical step—empowering individuals and communities to shape the
ecosystems they interact with. With Aptos, we envision a world where players’
stories matter and endure long after the game is over.”

Key Features of The Evergreen: Midnight Market

• Engaging,
  Unpredictable Gameplay: Players experience unpredictable rewards or
  unexpected encounters, with every spin holding the potential for either
  fortune or a surprise interaction with the Night Pig. This element of
  suspense enhances the gameplay experience with an entertaining, high-stakes
  twist.
• Decisive
  Risk-Reward Mechanics: With each turn, players must choose between
  pushing their luck for higher rewards or banking their earnings. This
  gameplay design adds strategic depth, enhancing engagement through
  meaningful player choices.
• Aptos
  Powered Player Economy: Midnight Market features a blockchain-powered
  economy, enabling players to craft items known as Keys and earn tickets
  that can be redeemed for the native ecosystem token or other exclusive
  merchandise. This player-driven system ensures that every reward has
  tangible value, heightening the stakes and making the game’s risk-reward
  mechanics even more impactful.

The game is the first major title to utilize the Aptos
high-throughput blockchain, which boasts low latency and high transaction
speeds, creating a seamless gaming environment for thousands of players
worldwide.

“Powered by the speed and security of the Aptos blockchain,
we’re excited to see Midnight’s ambitious vision for The Evergreen brought to
life,” said Bashar Lazaar, Head of Grants and Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation.
“Players can expect an immersive, genre-spanning experience where every move
shapes their unique journey, and the time they spend leaves lasting echoes
within the game’s universe and control over the assets they acquire. This isn’t
just a step into the future of Web3 gaming—it’s a bold leap forward, placing
players at the heart of a dynamic ecosystem, where every moment they choose to
spend has a meaningful impact on the worlds they explore”.

The Evergreen: Midnight Market is in closed beta now
and available to players globally November 13th.
