  • A beloved arcade classic has been given a futuristic makeover.
  • Early access has been granted for a select community to shape the game’s future.
  • The game is slated to be free-to-play after the beta.

A new twist on a classic arcade favorite is about to hit the gaming world. nWay, the studio behind high-octane multiplayer titles, has unveiled Cosmic Bomber, a fresh take on the Bomberman formula. This action-packed maze game is currently in a closed beta phase, exclusively accessible to holders of Moca IDs within the vibrant social hub Cosmic Club.

The core gameplay of Cosmic Bomber is familiar to fans of the genre: players strategically place bombs to outmaneuver and eliminate opponents. However, nWay promises a modern take on the classic formula, incorporating elements of competitive multiplayer, unique character ownership, and a hybrid in-game economy.

While details about these features are still under wraps, the developers hint at a dynamic gaming experience with “seasons” that will introduce fresh content and challenges. The collaboration between nWay and Mocaverse is at the heart of this beta test.

Kenneth Shek, Mocaverse’s Project Lead, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, โ€œWe’re incredibly excited to partner with nWay to launch the beta of Cosmic Bomber exclusively to our Mocaverse community. This game combines the best elements of classic arcade action with modern innovations, creating an experience that is both nostalgic and refreshingly new. Cosmic Bomber will be a great addition to Cosmic Club, and its goal is to empower social interaction among Moca ID holders.โ€

By launching the game within the Mocaverse community, the two companies aim to create a platform that fosters Web3 social interaction. Moca ID holders, a community of 1.79 million users, are the first to experience Cosmic Bomber and have the opportunity to earn rewards through gameplay and tournaments.

โ€œWe are excited to welcome players to Cosmic Bomber! Our goal was to create a game thatโ€™s both familiar and easy to enjoy. With strategic, casual-style gameplay and a playful aesthetic, Cosmic Bomber offers fun-filled competition with the chance to earn exciting rewards. We canโ€™t wait for players to dive into this thrilling adventure and pop their way to the top,” Steve Kuroki, co-CEO of nWay, stated.

Cosmic Bomber Slated to Go Free-to-Play

Following the closed beta, Cosmic Bomber is slated for a free-to-play release, opening the game to a wider audience. Moca IDs, which grant access to the Moca Network and various Animoca Brands projects, can be acquired for free through the Mocaverse website using a Moca NFT or an invite code.

As the game progresses through its development stages, anticipation is building among gamers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts alike. The combination of classic gameplay with modern features and the integration of Web3 elements has the potential to create a groundbreaking title in the gaming industry.

On the Flipside

  • The heavy emphasis on Web3 and Moca IDs might alienate traditional gamers unfamiliar with or disinterested in blockchain technology.
  • The initial excitement around a new take on a classic might wane if the game fails to deliver on its promises or lacks substantial innovation.
  • The play-to-earn model, central to many Web3 games, has yet to demonstrate sustained profitability or widespread appeal beyond early adopters and crypto enthusiasts.

Why This Matters

By integrating Web3 elements into a popular game genre, Cosmic Bomber could potentially attract a wider audience to the crypto space, especially gamers. This could boost the crypto market by increasing user adoption and potentially driving demand for related cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
