OBZDN

Born from Obzidian. Forged for War.

Prehispunk arena combat built in Unreal Engine 5.8 — designed for browser delivery via Pixel Streaming, with optional true ownership on Solana.

● Playable build · in development · not yet public

The Pitch

OBZDN is a prehispunk arena-combat game built in Unreal Engine 5, engineered for one-click browser delivery via Pixel Streaming. Rooted in Maya mythology fused with energy-tech — "carved from obzidian, activated by energy" — it ships two modes on one combat core. It's free to play; an optional Solana layer lets players truly own their warriors and stake matches.

Key Features

Built for instant browser play — no download, via Unreal Engine Pixel Streaming (in development).
Two modes, one combat core — competitive PvP and cooperative PvE.
Original "prehispunk" art direction — Mesoamerican myth × energy-tech.
Optional ownership on Solana — free-to-play first; wallet only to play for SOL.
A roster of warriors carved from obzidian, activated by energy.
Built in Unreal Engine 5.8.

Game Modes

Blood Ritual PvP · Free-for-all

Fall into the Blood Ritual: all against all, the last warrior standing takes the loot. The arena chooses no one — destiny does.

Temple Guardians PvE · Temple defense

Defend the sacred grounds against the ghouls of the underworld — a rising tide of guardians driven by a continuous pressure system.

Why OBZDN Stands Out

01A look no one owns

"Prehispunk" — Maya mythology (Xibalbá, Yucatec lore) fused with energy-tech and a sci-fi jungle world. A visual identity no competitor owns.

02Engineered for zero friction

Designed to run in a browser tab through Pixel Streaming — a shareable click-and-play link, ideal for reach. Deploying this delivery layer is our next milestone.

03Ownership, not speculation

Free-to-play by default; the optional Solana layer is about owning your warrior, not hype.
