Yuga Labs, known for the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club, has announced its latest Web3 gaming venture, HV-MTL Forge. This workshop-building game allows Bored Ape holders to immerse themselves in the world of Mecha production and modification. The game is set to launch on June 29, much to the excitement of Bored Ape enthusiasts.Yuga Labs previously faced criticism and skepticism with their game, Dookey Dash, due to expensive NFTs and its controversial humor. However, the game generated $110 million in NFT exchanges, and the winning player sold the prize NFT for $1.63 million in Ethereum. HV-MTL Forge is a response to this experience and aims to offer players a novel and engaging way to interact with their NFTs.HV-MTL Forge revolves around the HV-MTL robot NFTs created by the Bored Ape Yacht Club creators. In the game, players take on the role of workshop builders, where they can craft and customize their robotic creations. Sewer Pass NFT holders, a prerequisite for playing Dookey Dash, were given the opportunity to exchange their passes for exclusive HV-MTL mech suit NFTs in March.Players can earn points and climb leaderboards by receiving votes from other players. Owning HV-MTL robot NFTs, which were exclusive to Sewer Pass holders, is necessary to participate in HV-MTL Forge. Currently, these mecha NFTs start at 0.88 ETH ($1,570) on platforms like OpenSea, and owning one grants access to the highly anticipated game.In the future, HV-MTL NFTs will be used to access the Forge game, where players construct and customize a workshop to gain support from other players for having the best workspace. A teaser video suggests that players may acquire personalization features along the way.HV-MTL NFTs are built on the Ethereum blockchain, known for its popularity and expense in the NFT art and collectibles space.Compared to Dookey Dash, HV-MTL Forge is described as a more casual, creative, and social game. It offers a different gameplay experience, emphasizing creativity and social interaction over quick reflexes.Yuga Labs has shown previews of the HV-MTL mech characters, and secondary trades of HV-MTL NFTs have already generated approximately $38 million.Yuga Labs mentioned that players who assisted a cartoon character in the game Dookey Dash learned something new. Professional Fortnite player Kyle "Mongraal" Jackson won the game and sold his prize NFT for 1,000 ETH ($1.63 million).HV-MTL Forge promises fast-paced action and competitive gameplay that can keep players engaged. The success of Dookey Dash and the massive sale of the prize NFT to a billionaire has brought hope to both serious and casual Web3 players for the future of these gaming experiences. Additionally, Yuga Labs is working on a larger metaverse game called Otherside, which will incorporate avatars from various NFT projects and be based on the Bored Ape Yacht Club's story.

Yuga Labs has had a blast with its Otherside Second Trip playtest. The Web3 gaming juggernaut knows how to stay in the limelight, whether it’s the endless mocking of its brazen toilet humor or its exorbitant ludicrous NFT access pass prices. Irrespective of the good side or the bad side, Yuga Labs stays in the conversation in the crypto and gaming world in equal parts. After the massive success of Dookey Dash, Yuga Labs eyes further scaling up its gaming venture by launching Otherside. Otherside Second Trip is a metaverse game and its latest playtest last month makes it a super promising game. The playtest had thousands of players in the lobby talking, interacting, and ready to leap into the other side. This is something you don’t see in other Metaverse games out there.
