Metacade, the best place to play, build, and connect, has announced the launch of its first independent game, Gangs of Metacadia, on Base.
Gangs of Metacadia draws on the expertise of the Metacade development team, which includes Jamie King, co-founder of Rockstar Games and advisor at Metacade. The game immerses players in a neon-filled metropolis where five gangs battle for city control through strategic heists, wars, and influence-building missions.
“In Gangs of Metacadia, you dive into a vibrant, futuristic city where five rival gangs are constantly vying for dominance,” said Russell Bennett, CEO of Metacade. “Players join a gang by minting their insignia, unlocking core features like influence-building, recruitment, and heist planning. With a dynamic gameplay model that taps into all four of Metacade’s core quarters—Play, Build, Connect, and Earn—there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a gamer, investor, or builder.”
The five gangs—Neon Syndicate, Chrome Serpents, Sewer Rats, Digital Drifters, and Iron Shadows—each offer unique challenges as players compete for supremacy. Here’s a breakdown of the key gameplay features:
Recruitment Building
Recruiting new members to strengthen user’s gang’s influence across the city
Influence Building
Boosting or sabotaging a user’s gang’s influence is critical for winning wars and gaining control.
War Room
If a user is the gang leader, they can declare wars against rival gangs. Winners absorb the loser’s treasury, so strategy and timing are crucial.
Heist Planning
Organizing heists to steal from rival gangs; successful heists increase the user’s gang’s treasury and personal rewards.
Vault
Upgrading user’s vaults to protect their gang’s stash from rival attacks
Shop
Purchasing gear to enhance the user’s gang’s performance during wars and heists
Gangs of Metacadia offers a unique and interactive Web3 gaming experience, seamlessly blending strategy, competition, and rewards in a futuristic world. As Metacade continues to expand its game offerings, Gangs of Metacadia marks a milestone in bringing innovative, player-driven content to the Base blockchain.
Season 1 testing of Gangs of Metacadia recently closed. More than 700,000 $MCADE was transacted, equating to over $5,000 spent during the soft launch phase, with over 40 players taking part.
