Following the exhibition at San Diego Comic-Con, thousands of gamers will be able to playtest two of Immutable’s most anticipated web3 titles

Immutable Games, a leading web3 game publisher and the gaming-focused arm of Immutable, announces that players can now register for Alpha playtests of one of the most hotly anticipated titles from its roster — MetalCore (Studio369). Immutable is also extending the opportunity for gamers to play the flagship game at international comic book and entertainment convention San Diego Comic-Con 2023 between July 19-23.

“Launching Alpha playtests are huge milestones for the team and signifies massive game development progress to players and the community. I couldn’t be more proud of the work that both our partners and internal teams have done to get us here today,” said VP of Games Partnerships Jennifer Poulson. “We are confident that once MetalCore and Shardbound are in players’ hands, the quality of the games will speak for themselves.”

San Diego Comic Con attendees will also be given a sneak peek of Shardbound (Bazooka Tango) with the first hands-on demonstrations of the game taking place at the event.

The Alpha playtest and playable demonstrations come on the heels of Immutable’s partnership announcements with these premier studios at this year’s Game Developers Conference.

MetalCore is an NFT-based, open world mechanized combat game that will throw players on massive battlefields to fight alongside their factions in territorial battles on a mineral rich alien planet. Gamers will be able to own vehicles and machines, craft gear, recruit pilots, develop land, sell and trade their gear and much more as they fight for planetary domination.

Developed by game industry veterans from Activision, Disney, and Midway that are passionate about Player-versus-Player and Player-versus-Environment games set in expansive worlds, MetalCore has already won the GAM3 2022 Award for Best Shooter Game.

MetalCore’s Alpha playtest, which players can now sign up for, will offer an exclusive number of free playtest spots that can be redeemed through an Epic Games Store code available on a first-come, first-serve basis at: https://www.metalcore.gg/alpha-waiting-list.

Chosen players will receive their code which can be redeemed for the first official public playtest event on July 28 at 9:00pm EST and extending through August. Multiple playtests events, including tournament style PvP games, will be scheduled over the subsequent months with additional details to be released soon.

Since its debut in 2015, Shardbound has garnered a passionate following thanks to its innovative gameplay, and vibrant visuals. Today, the partnership between Bazooka Tango and Immutable Games has given the game a new lease on life, with the two companies working on revitalizing it with web3 elements aimed at empowering players through true digital ownership.

Now, with more than 7,000 active members and growing, Shardbound will be giving their community the chance to get closer to the game than ever before via their inaugural Alpha playtest which will open to community members next month. With just 1,000 available spots, Shardbound will be running a special promo for everyone who registers during Comic Con (July 20-23) to be added to an exclusive shortlist where players will be selected at random to play the game at Alpha. Players can sign up for more information via the Shardbound pre-registration list and are encouraged to join the Shardbound Discord channel to stay abreast of the lastest breaking news from the game.

Both titles will be on show at the San Diego Comic Con Game Lounge located in the Marriott Marquis, with special preview access on Wednesday evening, followed by daily access during regular show hours. Attendees will also be able to sign-up for Alpha playtests on-site, throughout the duration of SDCC.
