E2V1 is the upcoming 3D virtual environment of Earth2, designed to bring the project into a fully immersive metaverse. It marks the transition from a tile-based map interface to a real-time, explorable world based on the real Earth. Initially launching as a single-player experience, E2V1 will allow users to walk through their land, interact with terrain, test early building tools, and explore the environment at their own pace. Over time, multiplayer features will be introduced, enabling trading, collaboration, and gameplay with others. E2V1 is the first step toward Earth2’s vision of a dynamic digital civilization, where the virtual world evolves through player actions, economy, and creativity.
Many active members of the community have signed an NDA, and we generally feel disinclined to push boundaries. However, some active members—either because they were testers or had special permission—were allowed to post and stream content but just for that update version. You can find recorded experiences of E2V1 made by community members on YouTube by searching key phrases such as:
"Earth 2 - E2V1 - Shoon City",
"E2V1 - Manhattan, New York - Flyover in Earth 2",
"Earth2 E2V1 - Sydney".
