Immutable’s gaming-focused division and Web3 game publisher Immutable Games has announced that players now have the opportunity to register for Alpha playtests of one of their highly anticipated titles MetalCore. Additionally, Immutable is extending the opportunity for gamers to experience their flagship game at the international comic book and entertainment convention, San Diego Comic-Con 2023, between July 19-23.
MetalCore is an NFT-based, open-world mechanized combat game that immerses players in massive battlefields, where they fight alongside their factions in territorial battles on a mineral-rich alien planet. Gamers can own vehicles and machines, craft gear, recruit pilots, develop land, sell and trade their gear, and engage in various activities as they strive for planetary domination.
Developed by industry veterans from Activision, Disney, and Midway, who possess a deep passion for PvP and PvE games set in expansive worlds, MetalCore has already earned recognition, winning the GAM3 2022 Award for Best Shooter Game.
Since its debut in 2015, Shardbound has garnered a dedicated following due to its innovative gameplay and vibrant visuals. The partnership between Bazooka Tango and Immutable Games has breathed new life into the game as they work on revitalizing it with web3 elements aimed at empowering players through true digital ownership.
With a community of over 7,000 active members and growing, Shardbound will provide their community with an opportunity to get closer to the game than ever before through their inaugural Alpha playtest, which will be open to community members next month.
Jennifer Poulson, VP of Games Partnerships, expressed her pride in reaching these significant milestones, stating:
“Launching Alpha playtests are huge milestones for the team and signifies massive game development progress to players and the community. I couldn’t be more proud of the work that both our partners and internal teams have done to get us here today. We are confident that once MetalCore and Shardbound are in players’ hands, the quality of the games will speak for themselves.”
Attendees of San Diego Comic-Con will have the exclusive opportunity to get a sneak peek of Shardbound (Bazooka Tango) through the first hands-on demonstrations of the game at the event.
Players can sign up for MetalCore’s Alpha playtest, which will offer limited free playtest spots. The spots will be redeemable through an Epic Games Store code available on a first-come, first-served basis.
