Studio 369 has announced the launch details for MetalCore's highly anticipated closed beta, titled "Call to Arms." The launch is scheduled to begin on February 26th. MetalCore offers an immersive experience of open-world exploration, PvE missions, and PvP encounters.

The "Call to Arms" closed beta, accessible by invitation only, represents a major milestone for MetalCore. It gives early players an opportunity to experience the updated game build. Set to begin at 3 pm PST on February 26th, the beta will offer a 24-hour window for players. They can delve into the game's expansive open world, complete with new rewards, in-game quests, and the freedom to explore.

Some players own a MetalCore Genesis Infantry NFT, part of a collection of 10,000 NFTs featuring various traits and levels of rarity. They will gain access to exclusive gameplay and benefits during the closed beta. Also, Genesis Infantry NFTs held before February 29th will be playable in subsequent closed playtests.

Importance of the Beta Playtest

Matt Candler, CEO of Studio 369, emphasized the importance of the closed beta playtest. He described it as a crucial milestone in introducing players to the MetalCore economy and its extensive mechanics. Jerry Singer, Studio 369's business dev manager, revealed plans to integrate web3 elements into the game. This includes features such as Baronies, Territory Wars, and new NFT types like Land and Factories.

In collaboration with Immutable X (IMX), MetalCore will deploy on Immutable's recently launched zkEVM mainnet. This will make it as one of the pioneering titles within this ecosystem. The open beta launch is anticipated in the spring of 2024. Thus, offering players an extended opportunity to immerse themselves in the evolving world of MetalCore.

To participate in the "Call to Arms" closed beta, players must possess a MetalCore Epic Games Store key. Interested individuals can secure their entry by signing up on the waitlist or by holding prior EGS keys. As anticipation builds for the closed beta, players can expect a unique fusion of blockchain gaming, innovative NFT integration, and a dynamic open-world experience in MetalCore.
