# Welcome! ## Introduction Alternates is a fast-paced first-person shooter built on Unreal Engine 5, merging classic FPS elements with web3 integration. Players can collect, trade, and use NFTs from weapon skins to characters within an ever-expanding battlefield. By offering genuine in-game utility for these assets, Alternates provides a unique blend of fun, competitive gameplay, and blockchain-powered ownership. Designed with a community-first mindset, Alternates brings together diverse NFT projects and their supporters under one immersive universe. Active development is ongoing, with plans to introduce new modes, characters, and story-driven content. As Alternates grows, so does its commitment to fostering an inclusive, player-driven environment that sets a new standard for web3 gaming.
