Overview
Wilder World is a groundbreaking 5D metaverse that offers an immersive gaming experience like no other. Launched in 2021, Wilder World is the result of over 8 years of effort, with more than 2 years dedicated to in-world development. The game is built on Unreal Engine 5, the world's most advanced real-time 3D creation tool, and is designed to be 13.5 times larger than the map of Grand Theft Auto V.
The city of Wiami serves as the main setting and acts as a living hub for all player activity. It features interconnected districts where players can race across neon highways, engage in FPS-style combat, or simply explore the environment and interact with others. Wilder World is being developed as a continuously expanding ecosystem rather than a single release, introducing new mechanics and play loops over time.
Game Lore
Wilder World takes place in a future shaped by both human ambition and digital evolution. After an event known as the Great Fork fractured reality, scientist F. G. Wilder created a simulation to preserve civilization. Inside this new dimension, humanity rebuilt within the city of Wiami,a space blending art, technology, and survival. However, the peace is unstable. A secret organization called The Forum seeks to exploit the simulation’s core power, threatening the balance of this new digital society.
Players enter Wilder World as participants in this ongoing struggle. They can take on different roles such as Guardians, Agents, or Sentinels, each representing unique approaches to combat and exploration. The story is designed to grow with the player base rather than follow a fixed campaign. As more players join and interact, events in Wiami evolve, shaping both the city’s politics and its digital economy.
Gameplay and Features
Wilder World combines multiple gameplay genres into one persistent environment. Players can freely explore Wiami, taking part in activities that range from street racing and open-world exploration to first-person combat missions. The world operates as a shared online space where everyone’s actions affect the larger ecosystem. Whether you’re cruising through the city, joining competitive events, or mining upcoming in-game resources, everything ties back to your progress and identity within the metaverse.

Progression in Wilder World is tied to character identity rather than just level systems. Players can build careers such as Racer, Miner, or Hacker, earning reputation and rewards that reflect how they interact with the world. Over time, these careers will contribute to a broader social and economic hierarchy across Wiami. The development team’s approach treats this as a living ecosystem, evolving as new systems like AI agents, social tools, and creator functions are added.
Under the hood, Wilder World runs on Simulation OS, a technology framework built to power the world’s persistence, asset ownership, and identity systems. It connects all layers of the metaverse, from in-game physics and AI interactions to trading and governance, ensuring that the world remains continuous and player-driven. The game also runs on high-performance infrastructure including Epic’s platform and NVIDIA’s cloud technology, making it more accessible without compromising fidelity.
Midnight in Wiami
In Wilder World Alpha, it features Midnight in Wiami game mode, an exhilarating racing experience set in a neon-lit, futuristic city. Players can fully customize their vehicles with performance upgrades and visual enhancements as they race through diverse tracks, from technical urban corners to high-speed straightaways. The game features a play-to-earn model, allowing racers to earn $WILD tokens based on their performance, which can be used within the broader Wilder World metaverse. Recently, Wilder World held tournaments and events where players were rewarded generously with $WILD tokens for their participation and victories.

NFTs and Blockchain
Wilder World integrates blockchain technology through its economy, but it does so in a way that complements rather than overshadows the gameplay experience. The native token $WILD functions as the primary in-game currency, used for trading, upgrades, and transactions within Wiami. Players retain full ownership of their assets, including land, vehicles, and in-game items, which exist as digital collectibles secured on-chain.
The world also features several NFT collections forming the foundation of its economy, including Wilder Wheels, Wilder Moto, Wilder Cribs, and Wilder Beasts, among others. Each represents a class of collectible, ownable items that can be used, traded, or showcased within Wiami. Players interested in exploring these collections can view them directly on OpenSea.
