#32 - Revolutionizing Mech Warfare: Inside Web3's MetalCore with Dan Nikolaides

In this episode of The Web3 Gamer, we talk with Dan Nikolaides, the Chief Technology Officer at Studio369, about their groundbreaking game, MetalCore.

MetalCore is a free-to-play open-world mech shooter that features massive PvP and PvE battles, deep crafting mechanics, and a player-driven economy. Players can use the innovative 'scanning' system to obtain blueprints from fallen enemies, craft new weapons and vehicles, and convert them to Web3 (NFT) assets for trading. With over 150 playable Mechs, Tanks, Aircraft, and Infantry units, MetalCore promises endless hours of exhilarating gameplay in a vast open world. Launching on PC via the Epic Games Store later this year, MetalCore will be the first game built on the Immutable zkEVM, offering speed and scalability for a global audience.

Developed by industry veterans with over a decade of experience at gaming giants like Activision, Lucasfilm, and Midway, MetalCore's team has worked on iconic franchises such as Mechwarrior 2, Gears of War, and Mortal Kombat. The game has already won the GAM3 2022 Award for Best Shooter Game and raised $5 million in March 2024, with a previous $15 million raise in 2021.

Join us as we dive into the world of MetalCore, exploring its innovative approach to game development, the exciting features it offers, and the vision for the future of interconnected gaming experiences.
