Game development studio nWay, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, have on Thursday announced the beta launch of Cosmic Bomber, its latest casual multiplayer action game and the newest addition to Mocaverse‘s social gamification hub Cosmic Club.
The beta of Cosmic Bomber is now available exclusively to Moca ID holders.
Cosmic Bomber is an action-maze game where players strategically place explosive magic balloons to outsmart and eliminate rival teams.
Players navigate diverse blocks that unlock special items to boost their path to victory while avoiding splash damage and being tagged by opponents.
Leveraging nWay’s vast experience in multiplayer games, Cosmic Bomber features real-time player-versus-player (PvP) competitions, digital ownership of unique characters, and an innovative hybrid economy that allows all users to sustainably earn, spend, and sell in-game assets.
Cosmic Bomber runs on dynamic seasons that introduce new IPs and bring fresh characters and maps to the Cosmic Bomber universe.
NWay has partnered with Mocaverse, the marquee consumer network with an interoperable infrastructure layer of account, identity, and reputation systems seeded by Animoca Brands, to present Cosmic Bomber Season 1 within Mocaverse’s Cosmic Club social gaming hub.
Cosmic Club is creating a cross-ecosystem synergistic platform to enhance user onboarding and growth, and to utilize PvP elements to foster social interaction among Web3 communities.
The beta of Cosmic Bomber is now available to 1.79 million holders of Moca ID, Mocaverse’s decentralized identifier (DID) that gives users access to the growing Moca Network and to participating projects in Animoca Brands’ portfolio of more than 540 Web3 investments.
Moca ID holders will be able to earn Realm Points (RP), the loyalty points of Moca ID, by playing and competing in Cosmic Bomber.
As part of Cosmic Club, players can spend RPs to enroll in special tournaments and climb the leaderboards to win more RP rewards.
