The world of Web3 gaming gets interesting with the latest venture announced by Eden Games. Introducing Cosmic Royale – a kart racing game combining digital vehicle ownership, racing game, and motorsport culture as part of Animoca Brands‘ Motorverse ecosystem; Cosmic Royale is here.

Cosmic Royale is a game that will offer each visitor a unique experience, putting fast racing together with state-of-the-art blockchain technology. Cosmic Royale is the pilot gaming experience of the Cosmic Club, the very first fully blockchain-integrated game offered in Mocaverse‘s new social gamification platform.

Eden Games taps into the power of Web3.

A big name in the gaming world, Eden Games, just made the giant leap into Web3 space. Known for racing titles like Gear.Club and V-Rally, this company will leverage blockchain technology to bring an extra dimension into gaming. With over 15 million game boxes sold, 75 million app downloads, and 17 published games—which include the award-winning Test Drive Unlimited series—Eden Games certainly knows a thing or two about what makes an engaging and successful game.

Cosmic Royale is the first dive of Eden Games into Web3—a space where decentralization and the integration of blockchain in it are taking an increasingly relevant role. This move follows a young, rising trend of integrating blockchain tech into gaming, which gives players more control and ownership over their assets within a game. This shows that Eden Games believes in the project Mocaverse, which has two main axes: digital ownership and motorsport culture.

Gameplay and Features

Cosmic Royale is a royale-karting game that pits 40 players against each other in a series of high-octane races and obstacle courses, culminating in a survival finale. The core of the game is the Cosmic Tournament, a head-to-head multiplayer event where players race through multiple rounds, with only the best making it to the final showdown.

The gameplay draws inspiration from Mario Kart, offering a dynamic and engaging experience with each race presenting new challenges and opportunities to showcase skills. The party royale style of gameplay ensures that every match is a battle for supremacy, with only one player emerging as the ultimate champion.

Integration with Cosmic Club

Cosmic Royale is more than just a racing game; it’s a part of the broader Cosmic Club ecosystem. Powered by Mocaverse, the Cosmic Club is a social gamification platform designed to enhance user onboarding and growth through a synergistic cross-ecosystem. This platform focuses on fostering social interaction among communities using Player versus Player (PvP) elements.

Moca NFT holders and the 1.77 million owners of Moca ID, Mocaverse’s decentralized identifier (DID), will enjoy exclusive access to the beta version of Cosmic Royale.

Unique Benefits for Moca NFT and ID Holders

Holding a Moca NFT or Moca ID comes with several unique benefits within Cosmic Royale. Moca NFT holders can integrate their unique Moca NFTs into the game, using them as personalized kart drivers. This personalization extends to special karts and parts that will unlock exclusively for NFT holders.

Moca ID holders, on the other hand, can earn Realm Points (RP) by playing the game, potentially making them eligible for the next round of the MOCA token airdrop. These points not only qualify them for a Round 2 airdrop of MOCA Coin but can also be spent on the Cosmic Club website for a chance to feature on the special daily leaderboard with additional RP rewards.

Public Access and Future Launch

While the beta version of Cosmic Royale is exclusive to Moca NFT and ID holders, the full launch version will be freely accessible to everyone. Scheduled for release in Q4 2024 on the Epic Games Store, the game will reach a broader audience, allowing more players to experience the excitement of Cosmic Royale without the need for NFTs or tokens.
