Yuga Labs gears up to launch new game in Otherside <\/h3>\n

Bored Ape Yacht Club creator Yuga Labs announced on Aug. 31 that it will roll out the open beta for its upcoming Otherside metaverse-based Legends of the Mara (LoTM) later this month. <\/p>\n

\n

Next month we release the open beta for LoTM \u2014 and there\u2019s much more to come. We\u2019ve partnered with @farawaygg<\/a> and are building a major expansion in Unity. But we want to get an early version in the community\u2019s hands now so you can play and provide feedback while we keep building. https:\/\/t.co\/g97MF6f3m8<\/p>\n

\u2014 Othersidemeta (@OthersideMeta) August 30, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

LoTM will expand on the lore behind Otherside by introducing a new foe to the metaverse dubbed \u201cThe Shattered\u201d while also providing more background on the existing NFT Koda characters. <\/p>\n

Despite Otherside being a 3D virtual world, Yuga has described LoTM as a collection-based 2D strategy game, which offers users a chance to utilize their virtual land plots to earn rewards and new NFTs. <\/p>\n

The firm also stated the game will evolve over the coming months as it works towards a full launch. <\/p>\n

Mutant Ape fetches 500 ETH despite downtrend <\/h3>\n

The NFT in question is MAYC NFT #30002, which is the only token in the collection to have the Mega Zombie trait. It was snapped up by NFT whale and Taiwanese music celebrity Jeffrey Huang, also known as MachiBigBrother. <\/p>\n

Despite its rarity, it certainly marks an eye-watering sale, given that Yuga Labs\u2019 NFT projects have been facing significant downturns in 2023, with the MAYC floor price currently sitting at around 5.2 ETH ($8,500). <\/p>\n
