MetalCore, a massively multiplayer online game by Studio369, is gearing up for its third Closed Beta (CB3) scheduled to commence on June 27.

This upcoming beta phase is set to bring forth a series of enhancements, notably the incorporation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and Web3 technology into the gaming experience.

Dan Nikolaides, the chief technology officer of MetalCore and a former software engineer at Midway and WB Games, shared insights with Cointelegraph regarding the shift from Web2 to Web3.

MetalCore was strategically developed to be accessible to players across Web2 and Web3 spectrums, eliminating the necessity for a wallet to engage with the game and appealing to a broad audience of gamers.

NFT implementation within the game holds significant implications as it allows players to possess unique in-game items that are tradable, establishing a player-centric economy.

Nikolaides elaborated on the introduction of 'blueprints' essential for players to advance within the game, emphasizing the scanning system's role in discovering rare vehicle and mech combinations to obtain blueprints.

Moreover, the latest beta phase introduces SHARDS, an off-chain currency facilitating the acquisition of digital collectibles using fiat currencies. Nikolaides highlighted the team's intention to strike a balance between players who invest time in playing and those inclined to make purchases to progress faster.

CB3 integrates Web3 technology seamlessly into the gameplay to enhance in-game elements without imposing the requirement of a digital wallet on players.

Through a collaboration with Immutable, Studio369 incorporated a middleware layer to introduce Web3 technology, catering to both traditional gamers and blockchain enthusiasts without disrupting the core game design.

Nikolaides expressed the team's deliberate approach of slow growth to ensure responsible expansion of MetalCore.

In parallel to MetalCore's advancements, Ronin unveiled zkEVM, a zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchain, to support a broader gaming ecosystem. Jeff Zirlin, the co-founder of Sky Mavis, highlighted the scalability of this innovation, with the capacity to handle up to four billion transactions daily.

Ronin's layer-2 zkEVM is poised to enhance user capacity and provide backing to game studio partners, aiming to elevate the gaming experience and promote widespread adoption within the gaming community.
