Unioverse, the game creation platform that combines the best gaming experiences with innovative blockchain features, has announced the launch of its latest game: Hoverdrome.
Hoverdrome is available in pre-alpha for Windows PC players. The action-packed game promises a unique combination of the classic games Rocket League and Mario Kart, blended with blockchain technology to offer a new experience. This includes offering interoperable NFTs that the owners can use across all the other games in the Unioverse ecosystem.
Tony Harman, the founder and CEO of Random Games, says that Hoverdrome is the company’s best offering yet and that it will elevate the gaming experience in the Unioverse ecosystem. Random Games is a development studio pioneering a new era in gaming and is the entity behind Unioverse.
Harman commented:
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.
To mark the release of the new game, Unioverse announced a new tournament whose winners will share a 15,000 USDC and 300,000 $UNIO prize pool. This tournament has been sponsored by Polygon, the leader in Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solutions. It is free to enter as long as participants meet the minimum PC requirements. It will run from August 26, with the finals set for August 31. Tanner Metro and Orbital Casting, two of the leading casters in the gaming world, will provide live commentary for the final.
Wyeth Ridgway, the Random Games CTO, commented:
The integration of USDC, UNIO prizes and free-to-enter tournaments highlight our commitment to delivering value to our community.
Unioverse also unveiled its third hero, Tor Gret, a space sheriff who follows previous heroes Krishah and Reyu. Tor Gret represents the most valuable NFT in the Unioverse ecosystem, granting users access to games, unlocking unique benefits and granting early access to upcoming events.
“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,” commented CTO Ridgway.
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.
