Yuga Labs to Launch Open Beta for Legends of the Mara in September
Yuga Labs, the mastermind behind Bored Ape Yacht Club, is gearing up to launch an open beta for its new game, "Legends of the Mara," this September, marking another milestone in the expanding Otherside metaverse.
Yuga Labs' New Venture into the Otherside Metaverse
The renowned Bored Ape Yacht Club creator, Yuga Labs, has made waves in the crypto gaming world with its announcement of the open beta test for "Legends of the Mara (LotM)." This game is not just another addition; it's described as a "collection-based 2D strategy game," setting it apart from the typical offerings. It serves as a segment of the broader Otherside metaverse, a universe that Yuga Labs has been meticulously crafting.
The game promises to shed more light on the mysterious Kodas, intriguing small bipedal creatures that are found on 10% of the original 100,000 Otherdeed land plots.
Engaging Gameplay Mechanics and Features
"Legends of the Mara" is not just about strategy; it's about evolution. Players are given the power to evolve their Mara characters into the formidable Kodamara. As they navigate the game, they can harvest a unique resource known as "sediment" and stand their ground against evil forces that threaten their Otherdeed territories.
Every Otherdeed NFT landowner is in for a treat. They are entitled to claim a Vessel, which has the potential to mature into a Mara character. With the right environment and catalyst, these Maras can undergo a transformation into Kodamaras. The game intricately categorizes Maras into three primary types: Hunter, Farmer, and Enchanter.
The evolution process of these Maras is deeply intertwined with Otherside's cosmic constellations, termed its "Odiac." These constellations, spread across four distinct seasons, play a pivotal role in the Mara's evolution journey. The land's traits where a Mara resides will be instrumental in determining their attributes when they metamorphose into a Kodamara.
The Road Ahead for "Legends of the Mara"
Yuga Labs has a vision for "Legends of the Mara." The game experience is set to undergo evolution in the forthcoming months. Those holding Otherdeed NFTs are in for various rewards, with the game unveiling more capabilities as it inches closer to its full-fledged launch.
A trip down memory lane reminds us of the buzz Yuga Labs created with its initial release of Otherdeed NFTs in May 2022. It wasn't just a launch; it was an event that strained the Ethereum network, causing a surge in gas prices. The popularity of Otherdeeds is undeniable, with a staggering trading volume of over $1.26 billion, as per the latest data from CryptoSlam.
