More About Battle Bears Franchise?

Drawing inspiration from the beloved Battle Bears franchise, particularly the 2010 classic mobile game BB GO, Battle Bears Heroes is a web3 top-down shooter that offers a plethora of features including multiplayer modes like mini MOBA, deathmatch, and battle royale. Additionally, it boasts collectible heroes and cosmetics, as well as a competitive leaderboard to keep players engaged.

Game Modes

In the Mini MOBA mode, Battle Bears Heroes takes the essence of MOBA games and infuses it with its unique charm. Teams of three dive into strategic gameplay, where the objective is to topple the opposition's towers. This mode isn't just about the destruction; it's a strategic playground where players can enhance their prowess by defeating iconic enemies from the Battle Bears universe. These victories grant buffs, enriching the tactical approach and ensuring that each battle is as much about wits as it is about firepower.

Death Match mode is a tribute to the legacy of BB GOLD, bringing back the frantic 3v3 battles that fans have come to love. This mode is a crucible of quick reflexes and solid teamwork, offering an electrifying combat experience that gets the heart racing. It's the purest form of chaos, where the only thing that matters is the synergy between teammates and the ability to outmaneuver the opposition.

Successful Soft Launch

The game made its soft launch debut in 2023 across southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, garnering attention and building anticipation among mobile gaming enthusiasts. With the global launch looming on the horizon, Sky Vu has recently announced its decision to part ways with Sky Mavis’ Ronin network, although the specifics regarding which blockchain the game will deploy on remain undisclosed.

Excitement continues to build as Battle Bears Heroes prepares for its worldwide release. Players eager to dive into the action can secure their spot by pre-registering via the Battle Bears website, ensuring they don't miss out on the adrenaline-fueled mayhem that awaits.
