Mech Shooter 'MetalCore' Launching Ethereum Token Alongside Latest Beta

Studio369, the developer behind the sci-fi mech shooter MetalCore, announced that it will launch its Ethereum token this week alongside the third phase of its closed beta, introducing new gameplay modes and economic features to the blockchain-based game.

Set to begin on June 27, MetalCores Closed Beta 3 (CB3) will feature session-based PvP esports competitions, including Domination, Capture the Flag, and High-Value Target modes. The update also introduces faction-based social hubs and the ability to purchase in-game digital collectibles using fiat currency.

And then on June 28, Studio369 will conduct the token generation event for the MCG token across Ethereums mainnet and Immutable zkEVM, the layer-2 scaling network that MetalCore is being built on.

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