Defish Games, a new Web 3.0 game studio, has finally taken its first step toward its goal of combining the best of traditional gaming with its experience and knowledge of web3 technology. This comes after it <a href="https://twitter.com/WorldOfDefish/status/1554135310321213440?s=20&t=lWYj31q1Ai5E7XROP9K7JQ/">made its website public</a> on August 2.

The studio’s first-ever developed metafish universe, <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/world-of-defish/">World of Defish (WOD)</a>, was an instant hit among fishers, gamers, as well as NFT and crypto traders. Following the successful debut of the fishing metaverse’s last game in April, the developers felt the need to give something back to the community. As a result, the studio launched its own website. 

The <a href="https://defish.games/">website</a> serves as a platform for WOD and other games. These games will all be available in the website’s Defish Launcher — a desktop app with cross-platform functions. Apart from being a gaming hub, the site also offers Defish Connect. This technology links and tracks NFT rewards between integrated games and sync players’ game progress to define their privileges under the studio. Lastly, the site provides web3 tools and solutions that game developers can use for whatever they see fit.

For now, the only game listed on the site is the studio’s very own WOD. As the game’s name suggests, World of Defish is about exploring its regions with players playing as fishermen who find NFT fish. Quests and events are available in the game with $WOD, the metaverse’s native currency, as one of the rewards. This currency is used in every transaction of WOD’s marketplace.

Last July, the developers got a partnership deal with one of Southeast Asia’s prominent esports communities, Battle Arena Games Guild (BAGG) (read more <a href="https://tingbits.com/post/world-of-defish/">here</a>). The partnership ties the game studio to the massive SEA blockchain gaming populace. Though BAGG is yet to be sanctioned, it already has more than 20 partners in the GameFi space. 

With Defish Games’ Tower Defish in development, the SEA community might be in for another fishing trip.

Defish Games Reels in Traditional Gaming with Promising Web3 Tech

Creo Engine has recently <a href="https://twitter.com/creo_engine/status/1554316291879878657?s=21&t=56BlLxkCTPUgAY43ljmWyg/">revealed</a> its latest collaboration with <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/metarace-horse-racing/">MetaRace</a> through Twitter. To celebrate the partnership, the teams are holding a <a href="https://gleam.io/SQxsE/airdrop-2500-meta-to-celebrate-metarace-x-creo-engine-partnership-/">giveaway</a> of 2,500 $META tokens for 500 randomly selected participants. The airdrop begins on August 2 at 6:00 a.m. until August 7 at 11:59 p.m. GMT. Participants who leave the MetaRace Telegram and Discord before the winners are announced will be disqualified.

Both companies will benefit from the partnership. Creo Engine’s architecture promotes asset interoperability between games on the platform. This will improve the user experience on MetaRace while also adding value to the assets that players fought hard to get.

Meanwhile, MetaRace emphasizes the significance of good links between the game and the real world. This could lead to a future joint game between MetaRace and the Creo Engine. Apart from that, the tie-up will strengthen the two projects’ economic models and network stability.

Since the advent of GameFi, developers have been trying to create virtual experiences that mirror real life. The latest development in this area is Metarace. MetaRace Horse Racing is the first competitive game on the Caduceus Metaverse Protocol. It combines multiple strands to create an immersive gaming experience. In the community, players can “breed” their racehorse NFTs, compete against peers, and trade horses. Players can also get involved with the game’s first real horse: a two-year-old colt named MetaRace.

According to the roadmap on the official <a href="https://www.metarace.io/#/index/">website</a>, MetaRace is still in development in Phase 1. Interested users will have to wait until Phase 4 for news or announcements related to the official launch date or to obtain beta access to the game.

MetaRace's new partner, <a href="https://www.creoengine.com/">Creo Engine</a>, is a platform for developers worldwide to introduce their games. Developers can join Creo Engine and explore all of the opportunities there. Aside from that, Creo Engine is a game developer itself. It collaborates with a team of workers and experts who develop games in-house (Nomina Games). One of its goals is to provide its users with high-quality games and an exceptional gaming experience while also allowing them to earn real money from the games they play on the platform.

According to its <a href="https://www.creoengine.com/#roadmap/">roadmap</a>, Creo Engine plans to offer its first complete game release and marketplace in the third quarter of 2022. The CreoPlay Platform will also be available in Q3.

Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/creo_engine/">Creo Engine</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/metarace_io/">MetaRace on Twitter</a> for the latest updates.

2,500 $META tokens are up for grabs to celebrate the MetaRace X Creo Engine partnership.

Free-to-play (F2P) and play-to-earn (P2E) endless runner mobile game, <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/metarun/">Metarun</a>, is bound to launch another closed beta test as announced on its <a href="https://twitter.com/MetarunGame/status/1554393775820218370?s=20&t=w7PufzK3jhY9EWql7IvMPw/">official Twitter</a> on August 2.

Users who played during the <a href="https://tingbits.com/post/metarun-roi/">first closed beta test</a> and those who received an NFT ticket via giveaway are eligible to play. 

Metarun launched and ran its first closed beta test with around 500 participants from July 5 to August 4. This first phase of the game's private beta recruited testers using an NFT ticket system, in which interested players had to buy NFT tickets (Gold, Silver, or Bronze) to participate.

Interested players can see the complete list of live giveaways by clicking this <a href="https://gleam.io/fpGRQ/p2e-nft-tickets-giveaway/">link</a>.

Just like the first phase, Metarun's Closed Beta Part 2 will still determine players' privileges through the ticket types they have. Bronze Tickets give players a total of 70 races with the limit of 5 races per day; allow them to earn 162 winner and 27 loser rewards of the game's native currency, OPAL; and grant $42 winner and $7 loser cash rewards.

Silver Tickets let players earn 7 races per day; 270 and 53 OPALs (winner-loser); and $70 and $14 cash (winner-loser). Meanwhile, Golden Tickets grant players ten races per day; 406 and 81 OPALs (winner-loser); and $105 and $21 in cash rewards (winner-loser).

Metarun Unravels Closed Beta 2, With a Twist

Last August 1, the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) shooting game XALTE: Vengeful Heroes <a href="https://twitter.com/XALTEHeroes/status/1554122545737379840?s=20&t=Wk_Apthb14-DZ6oaWyDhfg/">unveiled its new partnership</a> with the space-themed GameFi, SocialFi, and NFTSwap warfare metaverse game <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/celestial/">Celestial</a>.

<a href="https://tingbits.com/game/xalte-vengeful-heroes/">XALTE</a> is an open community that encourages people to contribute game ideas, such as map scenes, game modes, and character hero designs. With that, this community also opens up to all GameFi game creators and developers entirely for free.

"By allowing any GameFi game to easily access XALTE non-fungible tokens (NFTs), players can choose their favorite games and use their NFTs in the game," the community stated in its <a href="https://medium.com/@xaltevengefulheroes/xalte-vision-mission-6ed03311ee0f/">Medium blog</a>. "XALTE opens up a whole new realm for NFT creators, allowing the same NFT to be used across a variety of games."

Following the above statements, XALTE promised to develop and launch an NFT editor to help NFT makers create and export NFTs to sell in the marketplaces. Regarding the players, XALTE assured the community that they would establish a two-way communication channel to ensure that every player's voice was heard.

Players in XALTE: Vengeful Heroes can go solo or work as a team. Its creators planned many modes of play, including Ranked, Free Game, King Game, Tower Push Game, and Summon Game. All of which allow players to purchase shares of its in-game tokens, $XALTE.

XALTE's new partner, Celestial, is a cross-chain metaverse that operates on the OEC public chain. It made its debut on September 29, 2021. Before and after the release of Celestial's official game, its native currency, $CELT, did exceptionally well on OEC and the major Asian crypto exchange platform, OKEx.

Last July, the metaverse announced its initiative to complete its migration to Web 3.0. It swore to help Web 2.0 game companies as part of its virtual universe apply Web3 technology safely and efficiently.

Celestial's latest Medium blog read: "NFT Cross-chain, the public game chain, will come with the basic cross-chain service, support NFT cross-chain and regular token cross-chain, and support common mainstream chain," Celestial's latest <a href="https://medium.com/@celestial.gamefi/celestial-transformation-announcement-98e7b43609e/">Medium blog</a> read.

Though both parties did not give out the strategic partnership's goal, it is safe to assume that most of it touched on NFT trading.

Celestial and Xalte's new alliance forges a new frontier for NFT gaming.

XALTE: Vengeful Heroes Partners With Celestial

<a href="https://tingbits.com/game/eternal-mages/">The Eternal Mages</a> team <a href="https://twitter.com/eternalmagesnft/status/1553704397997088769?s=21&t=PWErhKR7AsXrw3v_Z36aRg/">announced</a> that it launched its first upgradable collection on July 31 at 3 PM UTC. A collection of 3,333 heroes, centered around a series of adventure quests and battles, was available for minting. But only a few hours after the public auction, all Eternal Mages NFTs were sold, according to their official <a href="https://twitter.com/eternalmagesnft/">Twitter account</a>.

Each PFP (profile picture) is a ticket into the game that increases the rarity of the mage and grants access to customizable NFT software. One of The Eternal Mages' missions is to provide <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/eternal-mages/">equal access</a> to its community. The initial Genesis launch began on July 20 and consisted of three phases: whitelist, allowlist, and public sale. The winners of the pre-mint raffle event had been added to the whitelist and allowlist. Those who did not make the whitelist or allowlist could still purchase NFT during the public auction.

Whitelist minting began at 3 PM UTC. The priority whitelist got to mint 1,000 NFTs for free. Meanwhile, allowlist minting began an hour later at 4 PM UTC. It also consisted of 1,000 NFTs with a mint price of 0.009 ETH. Lastly, the public mint went live at 5 PM UTC and ended on August 1 at 5 PM UTC. 1,000 NFTs were also in the public sale, which cost 0.015 ETH. The remaining 333 NFTs are for the Eternal Mages treasury (airdrops and partnerships).

The Eternal Mages NFTs were the most popular NFT collection since the mint's launch, according to @NftAlertsApp's tweet. <a href="https://icy.tools/">Icy.tools</a> is presently tracking 3,326 Eternal Mages tokens in circulation that have not yet been burnt or staked as of this writing. The current floor price for sales is 0.001 ETH based on previous sales. Based on a 0.001-floor price and a circulating supply of 3,326, The Eternal Mages' estimated market cap is $3,290 at an ETH price of $1,649, respectively.

The primary goal of the Eternal Mages ecosystem is to radically transform the existing scenario in NFT-based gaming projects, where players' chances of successfully obtaining highly rare and high-priced NFTs depend on a raffle and a lottery.

"Our team of writers, artists and core devs believes that these things are wrong. The most active participants who contribute to the community and continue to support the project at all its stages after the initial mint should be rewarded with much more valuable entities," according to the <a href="https://medium.com/@EternalMages.nft/basic-game-mechanics-of-the-eternal-mages-world-f7400f9a7b8c/">Medium post</a>.

The Eternal Mages is the first project to change how collectibles are valued. The more players benefit the community on their way to the final stage, the higher the value of their collectible will be. Additionally, its ecosystem rewards active holders participating in lore and story with other collectibles, increasing their total value price. The project also seeks to give gamers the option to upgrade and add new features to their NFTs.

Coming up next, based on the <a href="https://theeternalmages.xyz/#rec473452097/">roadmap</a>, is Phase 1, which would include the reveal following the mint introducing the pathway, and entering the lore.

Stay tuned for more fresh updates.

All Eternal Mages NFTs were swept up at mint. 

Eternal Mages NFT Collectibles Sell Out in a Few Hours 

The much-anticipated <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/treeverse/">Treeverse</a> MMORPG released its first <a href="https://twitter.com/thetreeverse/status/1553457313620656134?s=21&t=Wy1qcLDCMbU-jXH8YBVonQ/">combat trailer</a> on July 31. On Twitter, the trailer has 3,639 likes and 1,453 retweets as of this writing. Since the trailer's launch, it has received immense support and drawn more people to Treeverse.

Fans got an early look at the long-awaited title thanks to Treeverse's sneak peek. The trailer opens with a short window into its fast-paced and highly mobile combat, emphasizing solo and cooperative gameplay. The character was shown using melee and ranged weapons to attack various enemies, topping it off with what seemed to be an intense boss battle against a giant stone golem-like creature. With swords flying and aggressive dodging, fans are excited to embark on an adventure in the Treeverse.

Along with the video teaser, the team has stated that a lucky quote retweet and comment on its <a href="https://twitter.com/thetreeverse/status/1553457480864350209?s=21&t=aOISzgBekM7_cAq77iiGVg/">tweet</a> would gain an early invite to the pre-alpha version. Aside from that, the project's CEO, Loopify, <a href="https://twitter.com/loopifyyy/status/1553460544136429573?s=21&t=Wy1qcLDCMbU-jXH8YBVonQ/">tweeted</a> that they will share more details on the project in the next two days and that "this is just the start."

<a href="https://www.treeverse.net/">Treeverse</a> is a top-down, open-world, classless MMORPG designed for mobile, which includes social features and an emphasis on cooperative gameplay. As the game title implies, Treeverse is set in a tree-dominated landscape. Players begin in the city of Elderwall, which the World Tree guards. Adventurers will delve into the world of mythical creatures in the Arboros continent. NFTs represent important assets earned, such as housing, land plots, and NFTrees, enabling a decentralized resale market.

True player ownership of Treeverse assets is key to the team's vision. However, <a href="https://twitter.com/loopifyyy?s=21&t=aOISzgBekM7_cAq77iiGVg/">Loopify</a> has emphasized that the team is focused on developing a centralized game that is enjoyable to play, with blockchain integration being only one component.

<a href="https://twitter.com/endlesscloudshq/">Endless Clouds</a>, the game’s creator, is actively working on the project. Some members of its team have worked on games such as League of Legends, Rainbow 6 Siege, Horizon Zero Dawn, Dark Souls 3, and Marvel Spiderman.

The in-game combat trailer seen is an early peek and does not reflect the final product since it is subject to change throughout production. The release date for the entire game is still unconfirmed. Additionally, monthly <a href="https://endlessclouds.substack.com/">development updates</a> are provided to keep fans up to speed on what the team has been working on.

Treeverse, backed by Animoca Brands and IDEO Ventures, intends to release an alpha version by the end of this year. Before the game's official release, the creators want to adapt it to the PC. Aside from that, they want to make it an all-inclusive free-to-play option at full launch so that even those without NFTs can join in on the fun.

Follow Treeverse on <a href="https://twitter.com/thetreeverse?s=21&t=aOISzgBekM7_cAq77iiGVg/">Twitter</a> for the latest updates.

The teaser shows off the action-packed co-op gameplay of the top-down mobile MMORPG. 

Sneak Peek: Treeverse Combat Trailer

As <a href="https://immutablex.medium.com/">announced</a> on July 29, the top-tier non-fungible token (NFT) minting and trading platform Immutable X opened early access to the preliminary integration of the digital asset wallet, GameStop Wallet. Users will be able to keep their NFTs more securely thanks to the preliminary integration of the digital asset wallet within Immutable X.

The complete integration makes GameStop Wallet compatible with Immutable X’s Link infrastructure. This means that the marketplace and Immutable X’s partners that support Link will see the GameStop wallet as one of the options to connect and trade in the wallet selection menu.

Users’ options are limited since GameStop Wallet is not yet completely integrated. To deposit, withdraw, and check balances and assets, users need to do it via the Immutable X marketplace rather than the GameStop Wallet. Furthermore, the trading platform’s Link may display pop-ups requiring signatures or confirmations from time to time.

“GameStop is hard at work integrating Immutable X directly into their wallet extension,” Immutable X stated in its <a href="https://immutablex.medium.com/early-access-immutable-x-on-the-gamestop-wallet-f016648f007a/">Medium blog</a> on the announcement. “The fully integrated wallet will be released very soon, but in the meantime, we’re able to offer GameStop user access to the full Immutable X ecosystem.”

GameStop, the video game retailer, officially launched its beta wallet last May 23. This release happened even after <a href="https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/google-news-update/nft-sales-are-flatlining-is-this-the-beginning-of-the-end/dff5b977-9cae-4b14-8b4a-1b4b3c95e59e?mod=Searchresults_pos2&page=1/">the sales for NFT trading went down by 92%</a> from September 2021 to May 2022. However, this shift to the blockchain world is what many would call the most viable action after video game developers opt more for digital distribution—downloads and streams. 

According to Forbes contributor Jon Mark, in his article <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmarkman/2022/07/11/why-its-finally-game-over-for-gamestop/?sh=53029c795a50/">Why It’s Finally Game Over For GameStop</a>, both physical games and infrastructure (video game retailers and distributors) are almost not needed anymore.

Jenna Owens, the former COO of GameStop, announced the collaboration with Immutable X shortly before being replaced by Nir Patel, the former CEO of Belk.

Since users cannot fully experience the Immutable X on GameStop Wallet yet, the former assured that the flow of actions is identical to other Immutable X wallets, such as MetaMask. You can check Immutable X’s know-how through this <a href="https://support.immutable.com/hc/en-us/">link</a> for further reference.

GameStop Wallet users now have access to top-tier NFTs.

Immutable X Gives Early Access to GameStop Wallet Integration

After a long wait, the beloved sci-fi manga and anime TV series Medabots has finally made its surprising comeback. But instead of another season and episodes, it chose to resurface in the blockchain gaming industry and <a href="https://twitter.com/MedabotsWorld/status/1552712433436950529?s=20&t=BIji95pk-4ZhQLJu8l3o_g/">went live on July 29</a>.

The manga turned anime turned Gameboy video game, Medabots, turned again into a free-to-play (F2P) and play-to-earn (P2E) 3v3 turn-based strategy non-fungible token (NFT) card game by Comadran Studios SLU. The game development company comprises former Riot, Marvel, Ubisoft, and Disney talents. They combined their prowess to recreate the nostalgic masterpiece in 3-Dimension and to claim its title as the first triple A-rated crypto game. 

Medabots’s gameplay revolves around players creating their own team of skilled robots. Each team consists of three robots. The teams battle each other in different game modes (adventure, multiplayer, and league) to earn robot parts (core, right arm, left arm, and legs) and the in-game token, Medamon (MON). Players can use these rewards to upgrade their robots and get cards that help them succeed during battles.

Though MON meets the Ethereum Request for Comment 20 (ERC-20) standards, it runs through the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network. This token is helpful in minting and trading NFTs and buying special in-game items. Apart from that, gamers can also use the token to buy actual merchandise on Medabots’ <a href="https://medabots.game/">official website</a> and items from other games related to Medabots. The token has a total supply of 80 million, all of which have already been minted.

Crypto exchange platforms in partnership with the game include BscScan, CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, PancakeSwap, and Huobi Global. As of writing, Medamon’s price sits at US$1.51.

Medabots is available for download on both Android and iOS. Android users can download the game from <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.robots.medabots">Google Play</a>, while Apple users can download it from the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/medabots/id1606544004">Apple Store</a>.

This new development is something to watch out for in the blockchain gaming industry, so check out their website or visit their socials: <a href="https://t.me/MedabotsGame/">Telegram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/medabotsworld/">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/medabots_official/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MedabotsGame/">Reddit</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSosjnbx4KwoMR7um5IiqKQ/">Youtube</a>, and <a href="https://discord.com/invite/medabotsgame/">Discord</a>.

The blockchain game <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/world-of-defish">World of Defish</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WorldOfDefish/status/1552690748998369280?s=20&t=OXsHS8qVe-Hro2mHRCUPkA/">tweeted</a> its new strategic alliance with Southeast Asia’s esports behemoth Battle Arena GG. The collaboration will undoubtedly benefit both parties in the long run. While the Battle Arena guild gets to explore the magnificent underwater scene, the World of Defish will get exposure to BAGG’s large player base.

“Together we will work on the mutual growth of the communities and the development of the GameFi industry,” World of Defish wrote in a Twitter post. 

Founded in 2018, <a href="https://battlearena.gg/">Battle Arena GG</a> is Southeast Asia’s largest esports community. The BAGG platform is designed to be the ultimate one-stop GameFi destination for traditional and esports gamers, crypto gamers, athletes, and influencers to connect and build the future of GameFi. BAGG enables all stakeholders to participate in and profit from the two worlds.

BAGG is built on three pillars: an onboarding and scholarship system that lowers barriers for traditional games to enter GameFi; incentives based on professional esports infrastructure; and a decentralized governance structure that lets stakeholders determine the direction of conventional gaming, esports, and GameFi.

The <a href="https://worldofdefish.com/">World of Defish</a>, on the other hand, is a meta-fish universe in which each item, zone, and equipment is a profit-generating NFT. The game is built on the Binance Smart Chain. Players may immerse themselves entirely in the intriguing underwater world. The game provides players with a fantastic NFT universe in which they may embark on a voyage to the seven seas in search of the desired NFT fish.

Brave fishermen (referring to players) can upgrade their equipment and skills to improve fishing production. They can purchase territories as a passive income option as well. Those who want to optimize their hard-earned profit can also participate in competitions and trade.

The game’s native currency, $WOD, is used for governance, utility, and as a unique p2e reward token. It is a BEP-20 token that players can use to purchase on the marketplace. They can mine $WOD coins in any area in the game. 

The two initiatives will support one another in expanding their communities and bringing something fresh and exciting to the gaming industry.

On July 27, the MMORPG <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/cosmic-universe/">Cosmic Universe</a> announced on Twitter that it had completed its migration to Avalanche. Following the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/breaking-harmony-one-s-horizon-bridge-hacked-for-100m/">$100M Horizon Bridge heist</a> on Harmony, what started as a cross-chain extension has turned into a full migration. Due to the security breach, many Harmony blockchain projects have lost trust in the platform's long-term sustainability as an ecosystem for games like Cosmic Universe.

"In light of everything that's happened in Harmony, especially this recent hundred-million-dollar hack, it was very prudent for us to act swiftly and make moves that we've been already planning for months now, so I believe that we will be one of the most well-positioned projects coming from Harmony on the other side of all of this," Cosmic Universe founder, <a href="https://isolate.menlosecurity.com/readonly/https:/twitter.com/wizzieblizzie?s=21&t=UZ4dEdrvvzLurfFrIvOvgw/">@WizzieBlizzie</a>, said in an <a href="https://isolate.menlosecurity.com/readonly/https:/youtu.be/hicNpErq794/">AMA session</a>,.

 "The security issue was the catalyst for us to really unlock our true potential which we believe is going to be tapped into thanks to our migration to Avalanche," he added.

Avalanche, a top-tier L1 blockchain focused on gaming, will be the new home for Cosmic Universe, the award-winning world-building MMORPG. With Avalanche's expansive capabilities and focus on gaming, Cosmic Universe is sure to thrive on the platform.

Using a <a href="https://marketplace.cosmicuniverse.one/bridge/">custom bridge</a> created by the project's developers, players who hold Cosmic Universe assets, such as $MAGIC, $COSMIC, and NFTs, can quickly move their assets from Harmony to Avalanche. In addition, anyone joining Cosmic Universe now has the option to join the Bank, which is a single staking framework for $MAGIC. Additionally, four yield farms (MAGIC/USDC, COSMIC/USDC, MAGIC/COSMIC, and MAGIC/AVAX) can be joined in the Cosmic Universe market. Check out the complete tutorial on the migration process on Cosmic Universe's <a href="https://medium.com/@thecosmicuniverse/how-to-migrate-from-harmony-to-avalanche-5efc20b6f853/">Medium</a>.

On August 27, Cosmic Universe will release another 10,000 NFT character collection, Cosmic Elves. Tickets with discounts ranging from 5% to 20% off and a guaranteed mint spot are now available on the game's market. This character NFT collection will be the only one produced in 2022, following the publication of Cosmic Wizards in 2021. Alongside them will be five more root races: apes, dwarves, felines, trolls, and yetis. Additional races will be released based on player demand, as stated on the official website. More races, as well as planets, will be revealed as the player base grows.

Cosmic Universe is a fantasy blockchain metaverse world-builder and MMORPG with tradable NFTs on the Avalanche blockchain. It is an immersive fantasy metaverse adventure MMORPG where players explore realms, gather, harvest, mine, develop increasingly advanced plots and settlements, trade, level up for magical powers and in-game rewards, and engage in PVP competitions and events. It aims to be the leading MMORPG within the blockchain gaming arena, leveraging blockchain technology's benefits to enhance the traditional MMORPG gaming experience. 

The pre-alpha test version of the game is expected to be launched in late 2022, followed by the full release in early 2023.

Cosmic Universe Has Moved to Avalanche

The virtual universe for soccer enthusiasts, <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/metasoccer">MetaSoccer</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/MetaSoccer_EN/status/1552356922006937601?s=20&t=wEO6D825ZRpAGS8dr01SOw/">announced its partnership</a>, with the largest Hispanic play-and-earn (P&E) community, OLA Guild Games (OlaGG), on July 27.

Holding the aces of multibillion-dollar markets in the gaming, sports, and sports betting industries in Web 3.0, MetaSoccer is, without a doubt, a big prospect for the sports ecosystem. Its recent collaboration with OlaGG makes it even more prominent given the guild’s population of over 60,000 Spanish blockchain communities that house 230 million monthly active gamers across Latin American regions.

“We couldn’t be more grateful to OlaGG for daring to think outside the box and joining us to create new ways to empower Hispanic communities all over the world,” MetaSoccer shared through the initiative’s <a href="https://metasoccer.medium.com/metasoccer-x-ola-guild-games-hello-to-p2e-gaming-for-all-a86ba6e3c5ba/">blog article on Medium</a>.

MetaSoccer sets players either as Owners or as Managers. As Owners, players are responsible for their club’s personnel management and finances. On the other hand, being a manager gives players the responsibility to overlook training plans and game strategies.

The partnership between the two entails MetaSoccer providing a large number of one of its game assets, the Youth Scouts, to OlaGG’s scholars, which stand at more than 3,500 crypto gamers.

Youth Scouts are non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that function as administrative soccer club assets that search for Soccer Players in different roles such as Forward, Midfielder, Defender, and Goalkeeper. These Soccer Players are another set of NFTs needed to play soccer matches.

“The NFTs will be put to use by their scholars, impacting hundreds of lives that can enjoy the soccer metaverse and get their share of revenue,” MetaSoccer stated in the same blog.

There are two types of currencies within the game, the MetaSoccer Universe token ($MSU) and MetaSoccer Cash ($MSC). $MSU is the primary token used to complete essential economic functions, such as trading and NFT minting, while $MSC is the secondary token used in less important transactions. MetaSoccer runs in the Polygon blockchain network.

<a href="https://tingbits.com/game/cyber-city/">Cyber City</a> posted a tweet announcing the launch of their IDO on <a href="https://isolate.menlosecurity.com/readonly/https:/igo.gamestarter.com/">Gamestarter</a>. The upcoming IDO will take place from July 27 at 2:00 PM UTC to July 28 at 2:00 PM UTC. Registration opens on July 25 at 11:00 AM UTC and ends on July 27 at 11:00 AM UTC or when the $25 base allocation is used up.

Cyber City and Gamestarter have also recently hosted a live AMA session. During the AMA, they answered questions about the IDO and their experience with Gamestarter. Questions ranged from how to participate in the IDO to what kinds of rewards are available for backers. During the live AMA, Gamestarter gave away $10 to ten people. Other than that, the team revealed further details on the upcoming IDO and other important updates. 

The backdrop for the play-to-earn game Cyber City is a future cyberpunk megacity. Tokenized assets, virtual lands, and NFT personalities are available in the city. The game takes place in a dystopian megacity in the distant year of 2088. Players may gather their one-of-a-kind, precious NFTs and compete for resources to conquer city blocks. Their mission is to acquire as many resources and territories as possible as they are required for survival and advancement. Some resources can be bought from other players or created independently; others must be fought for in battles. The gameplay is split into the Cyber City map and Battles.

The developer behind Cyber City is Alium Finance. <a href="https://isolate.menlosecurity.com/readonly/https:/alium.finance/">Alium Finance</a> is an all-in-one decentralized exchange with extensive functionality and a mobile application mimicking the web platforms’ features and security. In 2021, Alium Finance partnered with NFTB to help build an early community for the Cyber City game.

On the other hand, Gamestarter is a complete gaming ecosystem that brings a new standard for indie game funding by building an NFT-based crowdfunding platform and marketplace. It also has an in-house game studio that builds high-quality blockchain games (Dark Frontiers, Crypto Fight Club, and Pixel Pix). Gamestarter adds liquidity, player-ownership, and new funding resources to the largest entertainment industry in the world.

The Cyber City game is considered one of the most promising play-to-earn titles. The <a href="https://cybercity.game/">roadmap</a> states that following the $CYBR token IDO launch, v1.0 of the game will be released in late Q3 of 2022. It will be accessible as a standalone game for Windows devices and, subsequently, as a mobile app.

Stay tuned for more updates.
