Unioverse, the blockchain gaming ecosystem by Random Games, has unveiled its second flagship title, Hoverdome, marking a significant milestone in the rapidly growing universe of blockchain gaming. Hoverdome, a thrilling fusion of racing and combat gameplay, is now available in pre-alpha for Windows PC users.

The game is powered by NFTs and is designed to offer players an exhilarating experience, as described by Tony Harman, Founder and CEO of Random Games. Harman said, “Hoverdrome is an exhilarating addition to the Unioverse, combining the best elements of racing and competitive action. We are thrilled to share this pre-alpha version with our community and look forward to their feedback.”

A New Era of Racing and Combat

Hoverdome stands out as a multiplayer, AAA-rated game that integrates cutting-edge blockchain technology to provide players with an immersive gaming experience. The game allows players to race and engage in combat within a vast universe while earning in-game rewards. The pre-alpha version of the game offers players the opportunity to earn rare achievements for their heroes and hoverbikes, along with the freedom to build their levels and customize their hoverbikes.

The launch of Hoverdome coincides with the introduction of a new Hero NFT, alongside several upgrades and developments that enhance the overall gaming experience within the Unioverse ecosystem. This new addition aims to expand the Unioverse ecosystem, providing fresh and exciting experiences for its growing player base.

$15K+ Tournament to Celebrate Hoverdome Launch

To celebrate the launch of Hoverdome, Unioverse is hosting a special tournament, offering players the chance to compete for substantial rewards. The tournament, held in partnership with Polygon, features a prize pool exceeding $15,000 in USDC and 300,000 $UNIO tokens. The tournament is free to enter, but participants must verify their Windows PC, install the game, and meet the minimum system requirements to compete.

The tournament will run from August 26 to August 31, starting with Open Qualifiers and culminating in live finals on August 31. The finals will feature live commentary by renowned casters Tanner_Metro and Orbital_Casting, in collaboration with Community Gaming, adding to the excitement of the event. “The integration of USDC, UNIO prizes and free-to-enter tournaments highlight our commitment to delivering value to our community,” said Wyeth Ridgway, Founder and CTO of Random Games.

Tor Gret NFTs: A New Hero Joins the Unioverse

In addition to the launch of Hoverdome, Unioverse has also introduced a new Hero NFT named Tor Gret. This NFT is a significant addition to the Unioverse ecosystem, representing a formidable space sheriff and the third Hero NFT in the universe, following Krishah and Reyu. Tor Gret NFTs are interoperable assets, allowing players to transfer in-game assets across different games within the Unioverse.

Ridgway said, “Our goal has always been to create meaningful and valuable experiences for players. The Tor Gret minting event also exemplifies this by offering substantial benefits and early access opportunities that enhance the Unioverse experience.”

Only 5,000 Tor Gret NFTs were minted on August 6, and holders of these NFTs are granted immediate access to games, unique ecosystem benefits, and early access to significant events within the Unioverse. The NFT is especially valuable to holders of ‘Epic’ or ‘Legendary’ Heroes, who enjoy additional perks and advantages.

Harman added, “Tor Gret is a game-changer in the Unioverse, not just as a character but what he brings to our community. The minting event was a major step forward for us, and we are excited to see how our players will use and appreciate this unique hero.”
