Neon District Finally Getting Season Zero NFTs

Left behind on the Ethereum mainnet, Blockade Games has finally revealed their plans to transfer Season Zero assets to the current version of Neon District on the Polygon blockchain. They have recreated all Season Zero assets to fit in-game characters, and these so-called Shells will require a base set that Blockade Games will provide.

There are more than 400 Neon District Season Zero assets on the Ethereum mainnet. Users will need to bridge those assets to Polygon using a special mechanic built into the Neon District Portal. All migrated Shells will automatically come with the required base asset to apply the Shell to. Blockade Games pledged to reimburse gas costs for transferring the assets in Neon, the in-game currency of Neon District. So finally, gamers will be able to use the items they purchased in 2019.

But that's not all. Oh no, Blockade Games has been working hard behind the scenes. Neon District will get a lot more updates. The entire game will get a new user interface, including an improved NFT marketplace. Furthermore, players will be able to bind and unbind NFTs to their character. This will allow them to transfer or sell a character with all their gear attached.

Neon District roadmap

During Q4 2021 they will give Neon District Trophy and Key holders early access to Neon District Version 2.0. After that the game will have its public release, which will also take place this year. To add some more excitement, Blockade Games will launch the first Neon District expansion set, 'End of Days'. There will be a limited edition loot crate containing only weapons. In Q1 2022 they will have another content update, Rags of Riches.

Next year there there's a lot more in the pipeline for Neon District and its players. The team has hired extra developers to work on new game modes and campaigns. In addition there will be a PVP arena, and the game itself will get a proper setting with land and a universe. Whether there will be a land sale, remains to be seen.

Blockade Games wants to work with designer to launch limited edition fashion items, allowing game characters to look dope as F while shooting or electrifying their enemies.
