A group of renowned Hollywood and gaming experts has collaborated to form Galactic Entertainment Publishing, a high-quality Web3 games publisher in the United Arab Emirates. This is the first branch of the Galactic Group parent company.
Their initial project, PlanetQuest, has been in active development since 2022. Loren Roosendaal, the founder of PlanetQuest and CEO of Galactic Entertainment, informed Cointelegraph that despite the game not yet being launched, it has already acquired a large user base:
“PlanetQuest passport holders account for over 300,000 connected wallets, over 200,000 of which hold one or more PlanetQuest NFTs.”
The team behind PlanetQuest is made up of former employees from Disney, Warner Bros., Activision-Blizzard, and Epic. They have previously worked on several notable franchises, including The Batman, Avengers, Blade Runner, Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Star Wars: Jedi Survivor.
The firm’s chief creative officer, Jon McCoy, who has extensive experience working on AAA Hollywood blockbusters, stated that his previous experiences could differ from his work with Galactic Group.
“Naturally no first attempt at something new is perfect, but it’s been amazing to create a sci-fi universe with the fans in a way that’s never been attempted before. I’ve gotten to fulfill a lot of my childhood dreams, working on Star Wars, Blade Runner and Marvel movies to name a few, but there’s little that compares to being able to interact and build with the fans from day one,” McCoy noted.
The company’s first title, PlanetQuest, has been described as existing in a “Star Wars-like” world entire of assets that players can own and trade. Everything from ships to entire planets can be copped as digital assets that, ostensibly, players can keep for their game use or sell/trade to other players for native currency.
According to a VentureBeat report, Galactic plans to launch tie-in media for PlanetQuest, including novels, comic books, and another game to be revealed later.
