What’s with the web3?
Players can experience the bounty of MetalCore's gameplay without web3, however, web3 empowers the players with true ownership and control of their gear. Go out and show the competition the power of your arsenal! Ready for an upgrade? Your gear and your skill are your own best marketing. Capitalize on that display of power earlier! Easily sell the old and upgrade to the new.
Why web3 for MetalCore?
Players can enjoy much of MetalCore’s gameplay without web3 elements, but building this game for web3 opens the door for true player ownership and control of their gear. We believe that gamers should be in the driver's seat when it comes to their arsenal. Every player on the battlefield needs to optimize the best gear and kit, and web3 gives players the most options to customize their gear to their liking. Following the addition of factional warfare, the nuances between these factions and how players engage with their allies will be much more tangible and will redefine how players engage with a game overall.
MetalCore’s ‘scanning’ system allows players to obtain the vehicle and mech blueprints from their fallen foes, create new weapons and vehicles, convert them to web3 digital collectibles, and trade them on the marketplace, should players want to do that.
LOOT, UPGRADE, CONVERT, TRADE: This loop is a key unique feature in the game that leverages blockchain technology to give players control over their game items. That being said, there is no purchase necessary for players to enjoy MetalCore. We leave players in full control of how they want to engage with the game. They can choose to tokenize these items on the blockchain (AKA convert these items into non-fungible tokens, or, NFTs), and then trade or sell them in the marketplace. Or, they can choose not to engage in any web3 elements, and enjoy MetalCore like any other traditional game.
How will web3 drive the game economy?
Embrace the future of gaming with MetalCore's integration of blockchain technology and token economy that is built into MetalCore's core gameplay loop. Players can craft and trade vehicles and gear, recruit pilots, develop land, and engage in other activities as they fight for planetary domination. With customizable load-outs and unique variants, players will experience endless hours of gameplay with satisfying rewards that persist beyond the game experience itself.
Web3 drives the game economy by giving players the ability to own their items. Roam the open-world and complete missions, find loot, craft and upgrade your mechs and vehicles, and trade resources to get what you need to dominate on the battlefield. With an economy designed for infinite replayability and a seamless experience, players can craft the best mechs and vehicles, equip and pilot them in combat, and trade them in the marketplace. Players’ items are their property, and MetalCore allows for true ownership of those items, giving players more agency and control over their hard-earned and hard-won items and collectibles.
MetalCore’s thoughtful and groundbreaking economy design is one built with true in-game token utility. A sustainable game economy and token is centerpiece to gameplay and the core game loop of MetalCore. Whether engaging with web3 elements or not, players can shape the outcome of the game through their choices, influencing the narrative and economy.
Why did you create a native token for MetalCore instead of a web2 based in-game economy?
The addition of a token ecosystem and a native token for the game allows us to greatly expand the entire gaming universe that is MetalCore. As political warfare is a core game pillar, having a token be at the center of MetalCore will enhance the viscerality of faction-v-faction gameplay. We are providing players with real ownership, and by extension real choice, that completely changes the player experience for the better.
Will web3 functionality be available at launch?
Yes, at launch, there will be web3 game items that are tradeable!

How do developers choose a blockchain for games they are looking to bring to web3?

These are primary factors when determining which blockchain is best suited to host web3 titles. Immutable is known for its gaming prowess, and with its zkEVM chain built specifically for the games industry, it addresses the core needs of developers. That is our reasoning behind launching on Immutable zkEVM.
