Studio 369 unveils idle mech battler MetalCore Arena

Continuing to roll out its PC-based mech shooter MetalCore, developer Studio 369 recently announced a forthcoming extension to the game.

Called MetalCore Arena, it’s an idle battler in which squads of infantry and mechanized units compete in league-based matches. Players will be able to join or create leagues of up to 20 participants. Using their unit and vehicle cards, players can then set up formations for both offensive and defensive scenarios according to their opponents’ strategy.

Available for PC and free-to-play, no release date has yet been revealed.

The announcement comes at the back of MetalCore selling out four of its five vehicle NFTs mints. This latest Genesis collection marks the first time it’s sold NFTs since the original soldiers were launched in 2022. Ranging from hover tanks to mechs and aircraft, NFTs can only be minted on Immutable’s zkEVM, and paid for using MetalCore’s MCG token. Prices range from $100 to $500. 

In terms of the MCG token, it hasn’t performed so well. Since launching on 28th June, its price has dropped 80%.
