Basejump launches Broadside: Battle Mode AI fighting game

Basejump has launched its Broadside: Battle Mode AI fighting game as a Discord-native game.

The company said the title delivers Smash Bros.-like chaos, Fortnite-style strategy and real-world impact. It’s free-to-play, live in Discord now, and designed for bite-sized chaos and strategic depth.

It comes from a founding team that helped scale PayPal, a Sony Pictures Game Studio, Activision, and Kraken. The AI gaming platform is launching inside browsers and Discord Activities.

It has Fortnite-like gear strategy, customizable characters, wild weapons, and meme-worthy personalized KO moments, the company said. You can play instantly, battle friends or 24 arcade foes, earn in-game currency (BONES), and unlock exclusive items.

Basejump is more than a game launcher—it’s “Roblox meets ChatGPT,” with an AI engine rolling out in pre-alpha today to help players create their own games level designs instantly.

The game is playable instantly in Discord and browsers -– no downloads, no wallets. You can own and equip unique items across thousands of games and platforms. And it has custom KO memes and rapid PvP battles.

Game-first, chain-second: The game uses blockchain and AI, but the company says it’s in the name of fun, not extracting value.

Under the hood, Basejump runs on Action, an open-source AI game engine combining blockchain and AI, built on the AO hyper parallel compute layer and Arweave, a chain designed for decentralized storage, to deliver a next-gen game creation engine.

BONES (in-game currency) can’t be bought. The currency isn’t a token, but it is connected to the Action token, allowing for seamless Web2/Web3 integration across platforms.

The company said this isn’t about the casino potential of Web3. It’s about fun, creativity, and long-term community value. And the company said the game can help save the planet.

Every item purchased helps protect real-world rainforests. In partnership with the Rainforest Foundation U.S., Basejump said it is working to safeguard four million-plus acres of Peruvian rainforest—supporting guard posts, monitoring, and community-led conservation led by the Indigenous Matsés people. The message: Save the world while you KO your friends.
