Providence Game Launches on Epic Games with Web3 Integration

The fusion of web3 and mainstream gaming takes another leap forward with Providence, a blockchain-powered sci-fi survival shooter that’s officially been listed on the Epic Games Store. Developed by Dynasty Studios and built on Avalanche, Providence offers a third-person PvPvE experience with base building, crafting, exploration, and true asset ownership — all without forcing players to interact with crypto.

This is more than just a flashy game announcement. Providence could become a case study in how blockchain games can break into the mainstream. Let’s unpack everything we know so far about this ambitious title.

What Is Providence?

Providence is a third-person shooter that blends classic survival elements with blockchain-powered progression. Players can:

• Build and expand their base in the Homestead

• Explore hostile environments called “Slipworlds”

• Craft items and gear with on-chain assets

• Engage in tense PvPvE extractions to secure rare loot

The game is launching in early access soon via the Epic Games Store, with players already able to wishlist the title. It’s built using Unreal Engine 5, promising a cinematic and immersive experience from day one.

Web3 Integration: Optional but Powerful

One of the most important questions from the community: Will the Epic Games Store version support blockchain? The answer is yes — but it’s all opt-in.

Dynasty Studios is using an Avalanche subnet to handle Providence’s economy and item ownership. Players can buy, sell, trade, and craft on-chain assets, but none of this is required to enjoy the game.

• No crypto wallet needed to start

• Uses a native in-game wallet system

• Web3 elements are seamlessly integrated

• Traditional gamers can ignore blockchain if they choose

This approach allows Providence to appeal to both web2 and web3 players — a smart move that could help normalize blockchain games in mainstream spaces.

The Role of Blockchain in Providence

Beyond on-chain items, Providence offers deep utility for blockchain enthusiasts. According to its FAQ, here are the key features powered by blockchain:

• Staking: Lock up $PRV to earn rewards

• Voting rights: Participate in decisions about the game’s development

• Early access: Get into builds before public release

• Community funding: Propose and support new features or content

• Community Outposts: Shared spaces with token-driven economies

• In-game upgrades & customization: Style your loadout, dropship, and more

All of these systems will revolve around the upcoming $PRV token, though its Token Generation Event (TGE) date is still under wraps. Importantly, upgrades gained with $PRV are said to not provide unfair gameplay advantages, focusing instead on customization and prestige.

Early Access Gameplay: Homestead & Slipworlds

At launch, Providence’s early access build will include two major world types:

Homestead

This is your player-owned base and crafting zone. Here, you’ll:

• Build structures and defenses

• Craft gear using extracted resources

• Customize your setup for tougher missions

Slipworlds

These are procedurally generated, time-limited environments that challenge players with:

• Dangerous terrain and enemy creatures

• High-risk, high-reward loot runs

• PvPvE combat with other players

• Limited extraction windows before the world disappears

The gameplay loop mixes survival, roguelite mechanics, and high-stakes multiplayer. If you fail to extract in time, you lose your loot — and possibly your life. This adds a thrilling edge rarely seen in blockchain games.

No Blockchain Knowledge? No Problem

Dynasty Studios has made it clear: you don’t need to understand blockchain to enjoy Providence. It’s designed to feel like any high-quality multiplayer shooter, with blockchain features running quietly in the background unless you choose to engage with them.

If you’re just looking for a free-to-play action game built in Unreal Engine 5, Providence offers that. But if you’re a web3 veteran, you’ll find one of the most integrated and ambitious blockchain ecosystems in the space today.

Get In Early: Wishlist, Join Discord, and Win Alpha Access

Want to be among the first to play? Here's how to get involved:

• Wishlist the game on the Epic Games Store — this helps boost visibility and ensures you're notified at launch.

• Join the official Discord — the community hosts frequent alpha key giveaways via one-click entries.

• Keep an eye on $PRV token announcements — early supporters may gain access to staking rewards and future events.

While no firm release date for early access has been revealed yet, the momentum is building quickly.

Final Thoughts: Providence Is Raising the Bar for Blockchain Games

It’s not every day that a blockchain game makes it onto a major platform like the Epic Games Store — but Providence is doing it the right way. By keeping web3 optional, using Avalanche for fast and scalable on-chain actions, and focusing on gameplay first, this title could become a breakthrough moment for the genre.

Whether you’re a crypto-native or just a gamer who loves sci-fi and survival shooters, Providence is one to watch. As the line between traditional and blockchain gaming continues to blur, blockchain games like this are setting the stage for what’s next.
