Planetarium Labs

Planetarium Labs is a game technology company, not a game — founded in 2018, with offices in Singapore, Seoul and San Francisco. Its best known release is Nine Chronicles, an RPG that runs fully on-chain with no central server, and it followed that with Immortal Rising 2, a mobile RPG that reached the top of the Korean App Store in 2024. Its current focus is Verse8, a platform where games are generated from text prompts and published in the browser, built on an engine the company calls Agent8. Anyone looking for a single game behind this name should start at planetariumlabs.com.

thumb_up Pros

A real track record rather than a roadmap: Nine Chronicles shipped in 2020, Immortal Rising 2 in 2024
Nine Chronicles runs fully on-chain with no central server, which almost nothing else in the category does
Immortal Rising 2 reached the top of the Korean App Store, so the studio can make a game that sells outside crypto
Verse8 is a live platform with a large user base, not a concept
Offices in Singapore, Seoul and San Francisco, in operation since 2018

thumb_down Cons

This is a studio page — there is no single game called Planetarium Labs to install
Its titles sit in different places: an on-chain RPG, a mobile RPG and an AI game platform
AI-generated games on Verse8 are short and uneven by nature
Nine Chronicles' fully on-chain design asks more of a player than a conventional client does

Our verdict on Planetarium Labs

Planetarium Labs is a company, not a game — and unusually for this directory, a company with things it has actually shipped. Nine Chronicles, released in 2020, is an RPG that runs entirely on-chain with no central server, which remains a rare piece of engineering rather than a marketing line. Immortal Rising 2 followed in 2024 and went to number one on the Korean App Store, which is the harder test: it had to work as a mobile game for people who did not care about the blockchain underneath.

Its current attention is on Verse8, a platform where games are generated from text prompts and played in the browser, built on an engine the company calls Agent8. Whether that becomes a durable product or a moment is an open question — AI-generated games are short and wildly uneven — but it is a live platform with real usage, not a pitch deck.

The company has been going since 2018 and works out of Singapore, Seoul and San Francisco. For a reader, the practical point is what to do next: there is no Planetarium Labs game to download. Pick the title — Nine Chronicles for the on-chain RPG, Immortal Rising 2 on mobile, Verse8 in a browser — and start there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Planetarium Labs a game?

No — it is a game technology company, founded in 2018, with offices in Singapore, Seoul and San Francisco. The games are its individual titles rather than anything called Planetarium Labs.

What has Planetarium Labs made?

Nine Chronicles, an RPG that runs fully on-chain, released in 2020; Immortal Rising 2, a mobile RPG that topped the Korean App Store in 2024; and Verse8, a platform where games are created from text prompts and played in the browser.

What is Verse8?

Verse8 is the company's current focus: an AI-powered platform for making and publishing games, built on an engine it calls Agent8. Games are generated from prompts and run in a browser rather than being installed.

What does "fully on-chain" mean for Nine Chronicles?

It means the game state itself lives on the blockchain rather than on a company server, so the world keeps running without a central operator. It is a genuinely unusual design and asks a little more of the player to set up.

Where should I start?

Pick a title rather than the studio: Nine Chronicles if you want the on-chain RPG, Immortal Rising 2 on mobile, or Verse8 in a browser. The company's own site, planetariumlabs.com, lists what is current.
