nWay, Animoca Brands, and Mocaverse launch new PvP action game ‘Cosmic Bomber’ for 1.79M Moca ID holders
Developed by a team of veterans from Electronic Arts, Nintendo, LucasArts, Blizzard, and other leading game companies, Cosmic Bomber is now available to over 1.79 million Moca ID holders, offering exciting rewards and benefits of Mocaverse’s Cosmic Club
1 August 2024 -Game development studio nWay, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, today announced the beta launch of Cosmic Bomber, its latest casual multiplayer action game and the newest addition to Mocaverse’s social gamification hub Cosmic Club. The beta of Cosmic Bomber is now available exclusively to Moca ID holders at https://cosmicbomber.xyz. nWay also recently released Olympics GO! Paris 2024, the official video game for the Olympic Games Paris 2024 (see announcement of 11 June 2024).
Cosmic Bomber is an action-maze game where players strategically place explosive magic balloons to outsmart and eliminate rival teams. Players navigate diverse blocks that unlock special items to boost their path to victory while avoiding splash damage and being tagged by opponents.
Leveraging nWay’s vast experience in multiplayer games, Cosmic Bomber features real-time Player-versus-Player (PvP) competitions, digital ownership of unique characters, and an innovative hybrid economy that allows all users to sustainably earn, spend, and sell in-game assets. Cosmic Bomber runs on dynamic seasons that introduce new IPs and bring fresh characters and maps to the Cosmic Bomber universe.
nWay has partnered with Mocaverse, the marquee consumer network with an interoperable infrastructure layer of Account, Identity, and Reputation systems seeded by Animoca Brands, to present Cosmic Bomber Season 1 within Mocaverse’s Cosmic Club social gaming hub. Cosmic Club is creating a cross-ecosystem synergistic platform to enhance user onboarding and growth, and to utilize PvP elements to foster social interaction among Web3 communities.
The beta of Cosmic Bomber is now available to 1.79 million holders of Moca ID, Mocaverse’s decentralized identifier (DID) that gives users access to the growing Moca Network and to participating projects in Animoca Brands’ portfolio of more than 540 Web3 investments. Moca ID holders will be able to earn Realm Points (RP), the loyalty points of Moca ID, by playing and competing in Cosmic Bomber. As part of Cosmic Club, players can spend RPs to enroll in special tournaments and climb the leaderboards to win more RP rewards.
Kenneth Shek, project lead for Mocaverse, said: “We're incredibly excited to partner with nWay to launch the beta of Cosmic Bomber exclusively to our Mocaverse community via Cosmic Club with a strong social element. Cosmic Club is a hub and clubhouse where Moca ID users gather and socialize with their fellows. Together with nWay, we are very excited to bring this engaging and interactive social experience to our community.”
Steve Kuroki, co-CEO of nWay, said: “We are excited to welcome players to Cosmic Bomber! Our goal was to create a game that’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 can’t wait for players to dive into this thrilling adventure and pop their way to the top.”
nWay comprises highly experienced developers and executives who have worked at numerous leading technology companies, including Google, Tencent, Sony, Electronic Arts, Nintendo, LucasArts, Blizzard, Kabam, Nexon, and NCSoft. In 2019, nWay was acquired by Animoca Brands to further bolster the company’s capabilities in the competitive multiplayer gaming space. nWay recently launched Olympic Games Paris 2024 Mascot NFT digital pins and Olympics™ Go! Paris 2024, the official video game for the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The company has also developed and published multiple AAA games on mobile and console, including Wreck League, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, and Power Rangers: Legacy Wars. Most recently, nWay was ranked #35 in the list of the top 50 blockchain companies of 2024 compiled by industry pundit BlockchainGamer.biz
