Unioverse, the pioneering sci-fi franchise and game creation platform, has announced a number of significant advances, including the pre-alpha release of its second game, Hoverdrome.
In addition, Unioverse has organized a tournament with a prize pool of $300,000 $UNIO, $15,000 USDC, and other prizes to coincide with the release. Additionally scheduled for release is the most sought-after NFT on the platform to date.
Pre-alpha for Windows PCs is now available for Hoverdrome, an action-packed AAA game that combines aspects of Rocket League and Mario Kart. The game is notable for using interoperable game NFTs, which let users spend their resources in other Unioverse games.
Tony Harman, Founder and CEO of Random Games, the company behind the Unioverse stated:
“Hoverdrome is an exhilarating addition to the Unioverse, combining the best elements of racing and competitive action. We are thrilled to share this pre-alpha version with our community and look forward to their feedback.”
Polygon is sponsoring a special competition to celebrate the debut of the game. Entry is free, but players must make sure their Windows PC satisfies the minimum criteria. Open Qualifiers will take place from August 26 to August 31 in this user-friendly tournament; the live finals are scheduled on August 31. Two very skilled casters working with Community Gaming, Tanner_Metro and Orbital_Casting, will give live commentary throughout the finals.
The third hero of Unioverse is revealed, following in the footsteps of its predecessors Krishah and Reyu. Tor Gret is a strong space sheriff who stands in for the most valuable NFT in the Unioverse at this time. On August 6, Tor Gret, in collaboration with partner Magic Eden, minted 5,000 units. In addition, owners of “Epic” or “Legendary” Heroes were provided early access to important events, exclusive ecosystem advantages, and instant game access.
Wyeth Ridgway, Founder and CTO of Random Games said:
“The integration of USDC, UNIO prizes and free-to-enter tournaments highlight our commitment to delivering value to our community. Our goal has always been to create meaningful and valuable experiences for players. The Tor Gret minting event also exemplifies this by offering substantial benefits and early access opportunities that enhance the Unioverse experience.”
Hoverdrome, the first of many multiplayer games in the Unioverse franchise, allows players to create their own levels and hoverbikes, earn rare achievements for their heroes, and enjoy the freedom to explore and interact with the community in the rapidly expanding web3 gaming space. The Unioverse website offers players the opportunity to download the game’s pre-alpha version.
Harman added:
“Tor Gret is a game-changer in the Unioverse, not just as a character but what he brings to our community. The minting event was a major step forward for us, and we are excited to see how our players will use and appreciate this unique hero.”
