This revamped zone invites players to explore its refreshed environment, now harboring greater peril as Goblins roam the land. Prepare your weapons and wits – danger is lurking around every corner.
Exemplar Evolution: Dwarves and Elves
Our male dwarf and elf Exemplars are stepping into the spotlight with updated designs that align with the aesthetic of our human male Exemplars. This enhancement is just the beginning as we continue to refine and complete the Exemplar roster in upcoming updates.
Remember, Exemplars are your key to Mirandus early access. By owning at least one, you’re able to join the adventure at any time pre-launch! The fortunate will find Exemplars on the secondary markets at NFT Harbor (GalaChain) and OpenSea (Ethereum).
Crafting Revolution
Crafting reaches new heights in Narrows Landing with a significant expansion of available recipes. Players can now forge powerful weapons, durable armor, and create essential food and recovery items. Alongside this, the variety of harvestable resources has grown, ensuring that no crafting station in Narrows Landing will sit idle for long.
An Improved Interface
Immersion is key in Mirandus, and our updated in-game UI ensures the experience is as seamless and visually cohesive as possible. This latest look perfectly complements the art style of the game, enhancing every player interaction.

Exemplars Embark
Today is an historic day for Gala Games’ web3 MMO as the Public Preview build opens to all Exemplar owners.
While the game is still in development, the Mirandus team wants you to experience its evolution in real time, exploring and enjoying the nuances of gameplay for yourselves. This Public Preview build will remain open until launch, interrupted only by server resets, updates and troubleshooting.
Owning an Examplar is the way to access this exclusive early preview experience of Mirandus. While Exemplar NFTs are sold out from the primary store sales, they are still available on the peer-to-peer secondary markets listed below:
The highly anticipated epic fantasy MMO from Gala Games has just announced that its Public Preview build will soon be playable on a full-time basis to all Exemplar-owning members of the Gala Games community.
Because of the massive time and development commitments of creating an open-world MMORPG of this magnitude, Mirandus has been one of Gala Games’ most ambitious development projects. When you add in the revolutionary approach of NFT integration and the idea that “dying hurts,” it becomes possible to see the huge scope of creating this world.
While until now, playtests for Mirandus have been few and far between, the dev team is ready to bring players into the experience, giving everyone in the ecosystem a unique chance to take part as this gaming masterpiece comes together.
The Public Preview Build
Starting next Friday, November 15th we will open the current Mirandus servers around the clock, allowing players to enjoy the game in its current state.
While the Mirandus final launch is still in the distance, this will give players an elf’s-eye view of the world coming together, allowing everyone to appreciate the detail and beauty going into this exquisite passion project.
The game will be downloadable on PC, open to anyone who holds an Exemplar NFT in their Gala Games inventory.
Exemplar Ownership is Required
Exemplars are NFT avatars, each class with its own background, story and unique skill set. Your Exemplar is your exclusive player token in the world of Mirandus. Without one, you cannot enter the game. Those interested in acquiring an Exemplar should check the Ethereum-based secondary markets on OpenSea or the GalaChain-based secondary market at NFT Harbor.
The Legendary Allsight Elves are the most mysterious and perhaps oldest elven ancestry in the world of Mirandus, although you cannot tell by looking at them. It is said they exist across time, allowing them to hone in on the future in some situations. Imagine the power…
Years of living underground have given the Deep Mountain Dwarf Clan the ability to visibly feel their surroundings, even in the deepest dark. Many of these Exemplars have never seen the sun. Think of the treasures you could find by being able to see in the dark.
Perhaps you’d like to be an Evenstride Halfling, able to perfectly control your weight distribution when running for exceptional performance. You could glide fluidly over long distances, keeping perfect balance no matter the terrain and rarely tiring.
Above are just a few examples of the Exemplars to choose from. Of the 5 different races offered (Elf, Halfling, Dwarf, Human, Orc), a total of 25 different Exemplar ancestries have been released and sold as NFTs.

It was a glorious playtest, adventurers! The rolling hills were alive with exemplars crafting, hunting and exploring this great land!

Adventure carefully. Keep your wits about you and Mirandus will lead you to the prosperity it offers!
