Unioverse, a web3 game creation platform, has appointed Eric Peterson as its Chief Creative Officer. Peterson is known for co-founding Star Citizen and he will drive Unioverse’s mission to integrate web3 gaming into the mainstream and attract video game players.

Peterson’s background

Peterson joins with the developer behind Unioverse, Random Games. Peterson is bringing a rich background in game development. He previously collaborated with Chris Roberts on the Wing Commander series at Origin Systems and co-founded Digital Anvil, where he was instrumental in developing StarLancer and Conquest: Frontier Wars. Peterson also founded Fever Pitch Studios, contributing to the production and design of Star Citizen.

His new role

Peterson stated he is very excited to be joining Random Games and Unioverse and devoting his creative energies to developing great games in the rich Unioverse environment. “We’re focused on addressing gamer frustrations by supporting actions that other companies punish, such as trading high-level characters or weapons,” said Peterson. Gamer’s frustrations are solved with their marketplace of game items, allowing players to trade items freely and derive more value from the games they love.

In his new role, Peterson will focus on identifying external partners for Unioverse’s Metaverse and ensuring the high quality of games released under the Random Games imprint. His efforts aim to establish Unioverse as a leading hub for web3 gaming while encouraging web2 gamers to transition seamlessly to the new platform.

Peterson will collaborate with CTO Wyeth Ridgway the Head of Brand Bryan Clark, and CEO Tony Harman to achieve Unioverse’s ambitious objectives. Unioverse games are designed to be accessible, requiring no prior knowledge of web3 or cryptocurrency.

The bottom line

With Peterson, Unioverse improved its leadership team and is set to revolutionize web3 gaming. His extensive experience and innovative vision are going to help Unioverse’s development and mainstream appeal, addressing common gamer frustrations and offering new opportunities.
