More About MetalCore

MetalCore is a sci-fi MMO that features epic mech and PvPvE battles, deep crafting mechanics, and a player-driven economy. Set on the planet Kerberos, players must survive as foot soldiers, climb the ranks, and grow their arsenal of mechs and war machines. Notably, the crypto game is the first title built directly on the Immutable zkEVM.

MetalCore has won accolades such as the Global Blockchain Show’s Best Blockchain Game of the Year and our GAM3 2022 Award for Best Shooter Game. The game’s innovative “scanning” system allows players to craft new weapons and vehicles from blueprints obtained from fallen enemies, adding a unique layer to its gameplay.

Season 1: MetalPunks Rhapsody

MetalCore Season 1 heralds a new era with its seasonal format, each lasting approximately four weeks and focusing on different factions within the game's expansive universe. MetalPunk Rhapsody, the debut season, promises players a deep dive into the lore and ethos of the MetalPunk faction.

The game has undergone significant enhancements, notably upgrading to Unreal Engine 5. This upgrade brings about enhanced realism through improved lighting and a robust world system that ensures smooth performance even during large-scale battles. Accessibility has also been broadened with DLSS integration, making MetalCore playable on a wider range of hardware configurations.

CEO Matt Candler expressed excitement about the game's evolution, stating, "With Season 1: MetalPunk Rhapsody, we're opening the game to all players. We've integrated UE5 visuals and listened to our community's feedback, enhancing features like Barony Wars."

Future seasons will explore other factions such as Gear Breakers and Holy Corp, each contributing unique elements to the game's evolving narrative. Season 1 introduces themed content, exclusive skins, and compelling storylines that immerse players in the MetalPunk universe.

Enhanced missions aim to deliver a more engaging experience for both newcomers and seasoned veterans alike. The user onboarding process has been streamlined to facilitate easier entry into the game, while new PvP bounties and fresh mission content ensure continuous challenges.

PvE Raids, Seasonal Rewards and Premium Tiers

MetalCore Season 1 also introduces PvE Raids, where up to 10 faction members collaborate to navigate Kerberos's perilous terrains, facing formidable alien species and securing vital resources. These cooperative missions emphasize teamwork and tactical prowess, offering rewards that strengthen each faction's foothold on the planet.

The introduction of Unit Rarity and Stats adds strategic depth, as players discover randomized strengths and abilities among their mechs and vehicles. A new Seasonal Rewards system incentivizes players to achieve premium tier statuses, offering exclusive prizes that highlight their battlefield achievements.
