Coinciding with the third phase of its closed beta, this update introduces new gameplay modes and economic features to the blockchain-based game.
Starting on June 27, MetalCore’s Closed Beta 3 (CB3) will feature session-based PvP esports competitions, including Domination, Capture the Flag, and High-Value Target modes. The update will also introduce faction-based social hubs and the ability to purchase in-game digital collectibles using fiat currency.
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.
The previous beta phase attracted 124,000 waitlisted gamers and 50,000 active users, who averaged 10 hours of playtime each. Players can gain access to CB3 through an Epic Games Store key for returning players, or by purchasing one of five levels of Founders Packs.
These packs include various in-game assets such as infantry, mechs, weapons, and shards. According to a MetalCore representative, the in-game items will be NFTs, while the Epic Games Store access key will not be tokenized.
