Information

Gaming is about more than play–it's a space for connection, learning, and personal expression that can inspire meaningful change. According to eMarketer, Gen Z increasingly turns to gaming for authentic social interactions. In March 2025, Wicked Saints Studios launched World Reborn, an interactive story game featuring real-world quests promoting personal growth and positive action. Discord worked with Wicked Saints to develop a training mod helping teens embrace their authentic selves, while introducing Discord's tools and resources.

This conversation with leaders at Discord and Wicked Saints explores how gaming fosters relationships, supports well-being, and empowers real-world action. They will dive into their experiences working together on World Reborn, a game that promotes mental health, fosters healthy relationships, and activates young people to make real-life impact.
