Studio369, the developer of the popular sci-fi mech shooter MetalCore, has exciting news for its players. Alongside the launch of the third phase of its closed beta, the studio has announced the introduction of its Ethereum token. This move will bring new gameplay modes and economic features to the blockchain-based game, making it an even more immersive and engaging experience for players.
Scheduled to begin on June 27, MetalCore’s Closed Beta 3 (CB3) will offer session-based PvP esports competitions, including modes like Domination, Capture the Flag, and High-Value Target. In addition to these new gameplay modes, players can look forward to faction-based social hubs and the ability to purchase in-game digital collectibles using fiat currency. These features are aimed at enhancing the overall gaming experience and adding depth to the in-game economy.
On June 28, Studio369 will hold the token generation event for the MCG token on the Ethereum mainnet and Immutable zkEVM, the layer-2 scaling network that MetalCore is built on. This event will mark a significant milestone in the evolution of the game and the studio’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of blockchain gaming. Studio369 CEO Matt Candler expressed his excitement about the new features, emphasizing the goal of creating a compelling and fun gameplay experience that is further improved by a robust in-game economy.
The previous beta phase of MetalCore saw an impressive turnout, with 124,000 waitlisted gamers and 50,000 active users who spent an average of 10 hours playing the game. Players can gain access to the upcoming CB3 through an Epic Games Store key for returning players or by purchasing one of five levels of Founder Packs. These packs offer various in-game assets such as infantry, mechs, weapons, and shards. It is worth noting that the in-game items will be tokenized as NFTs, whereas the Epic Games Store access key will not be tokenized.
As the countdown to the Closed Beta 3 begins, players are encouraged to sign up and get ready to experience the new and exciting features that MetalCore has to offer. With the introduction of the Ethereum token and new gameplay modes, the game promises to deliver an even more immersive and engaging experience for players. The token generation event on June 28 will mark a pivotal moment in the game’s development and showcase the studio’s dedication to innovation in the world of blockchain gaming.
