MetalCore’s Bold Move: Token Launch, and Fresh Features

Studio369, the mastermind behind the sci-fi mech shooter MetalCore, has announced a major development: the launch of its Ethereum token this week, coinciding with the third phase of its closed beta. This update promises to bring new gameplay modes and economic features to the blockchain-based game.

Kicking off on June 27, MetalCore’s Closed Beta 3 (CB3) will introduce session-based PvP esports competitions, including Domination, Capture the Flag, and High-Value Target modes. Additionally, the update will roll out faction-based social hubs and enable the purchase of in-game digital collectibles using fiat currency.

Following this, on June 28, Studio369 will conduct the token generation event for the MCG token across Ethereum’s mainnet and Immutable zkEVM, the layer-2 scaling network that MetalCore is built on.

“We are excited to push the boundaries of blockchain gaming with these new features in MetalCore,” stated Studio369 CEO Matt Candler. “Our goal is to create a compelling and fun gameplay experience that is improved upon with a robust in-game economy.”

The previous beta phase saw significant interest, with 124,000 waitlisted gamers and 50,000 active users who averaged 10 hours of playtime each. Access to CB3 will be available through an Epic Games Store key for returning players or by purchasing one of five levels of Founders Packs.

These packs come loaded with various in-game assets such as infantry, mechs, weapons, and shards. According to a MetalCore representative, while the in-game items will be NFTs, the Epic Games Store access key will not be tokenized.

With these updates, MetalCore is not only enhancing its gameplay but also fortifying its in-game economy, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of blockchain gaming.
