Cologne — Wilder World is leveling up at Gamescom 2025, unveiling Super Early Access for its first-ever first-person shooter (FPS) mode. The launch, created in partnership with Samsung, marks a defining moment for Wiami—the expansive open-world metaverse at the heart of Wilder World.

The debut comes with serious firepower: a $100,000 global tournament. Open qualifiers run August 25–September 9, playoffs September 10–15, and a live finale on September 24 at a surprise venue. The top five players will be flown in, all expenses covered, to battle it out on stage. Gamescom attendees can also claim a Samsung-branded POAP NFT, usable across Wilder World, by tapping NFC towers at the event.

From Racing to Shooting: A New Era of Gameplay
Wilder World first turned heads with Wilder Wheels in 2024, its racing game mode that set the tone for high-octane fun inside Wiami. Now, the FPS expansion introduces one of gaming’s most popular genres into the metaverse, pushing Wilder World into new competitive territory.
The launch comes during a breakout run for $WILD, Wilder World’s native token. Highlights include:
A Lamborghini collab, with the Temerario collection selling out in four minutes.
Wiami.fun, a UGC hub where players design tokenized skins and in-game assets.
Operation Titan, a multi-million-dollar buyback program for $WILD.
Metropolis, an in-depth explainer of the Wilder World economy.
CYPHER, a new U.S. Treasury vehicle bridging TradFi and Web3 funding.
These milestones have helped cement Wilder World’s spot in the Top 10 Most Anticipated Games on the Epic Games Store, competing alongside blockbuster AAA web2 titles.
