Battlebound, a Web3 studio comprised of industry veterans from Riot Games, Ubisoft, and NC Soft, announces the release of Cosmic Cup. Cosmic Cup is the newest game mode for Evaverse, the first project from the Los-based studio. Angels.

In simple terms, Evaverse is a social platform with different games and activities. Think along the lines of Roblox and you’ll have an idea. Evaverse is a competition to own system created for NFT players and enthusiasts to compete, play and socialize in an immersive world.

Cosmic Cup, specifically, is the last activity. It is a pet racing style game, with characters called Purrtles. They are a fusion of cats and turtles, slightly inspired by CryptoKitties.

Collectible Purrtles are an NFT collection of 3D companion avatars. Battlebound offers a free mint of Purrtle Packs, an in-game portable backpack accessory. The backpack levels up as players play through the different game modes of Evaverse. Once players reach the Purrtle Pack experience limit, they unlock a unique Purrtle NFT avatar.

Purrtles with rarer traits are more likely to be rewards for completing them early. Releasing the rarer Purrtle early is an incentive for players to quickly level up those Purrtle Packs.

“The vision for Battlebound is to create incredible 10,000 hour games that players will enjoy for decades. We do this by creating fun gameplay combined with enhanced NFT utility,” the Battlebound boss said. adam hensel, speaking to GamesBeat. “Once a Purrtle Pack evolves to reveal a Purrtle NFT companion, the NFT has the ability to gain stamina by competing in the Cosmic Cup. Stamina allows the NFT to continue earning rewards in the form of tickets and badges while players are offline. As these off-chain coins accumulate, players receive a larger $EVA token airdrop allocation when the in-game token launches in 2023.”

Cosmic Cup Purrtle packs are limited

Battlebound is distributing a fixed amount of 10,000 Purrtle Packs to interested players. Half of them will arrive in December 2022, while the other half are reserved for future events. Evaverse players who own Evaverse Genesis NFT will automatically get their own Purrtle Pack NFT.

The other way to get Purrtle Packs is through collaborations with Coinbase Wallet, Magic Eden, and Battlebound’s own community events.

However, you might not like the whole NFT thing. Maybe you’re the type of player who needs a reason to invest his attention in something. Nobody spends money on gacha rolls if they don’t play the gacha game, right?

If that’s the case, Evaverse is free on Steam. With or without NFT, players can play the new Cosmic Cup mode.
