Animoca To Support Yuga In Creating Legends Of The Mara

Founded in 2014, Animoca Brands is a video game software company and ventures capital. The firm is best known for backing one of the most successful metaverse projects, such as The Sandbox, Blowfish Studios, Quidd, GAMEE, nWay, Pixowl, Forj, Lympo, Grease Monkey Game, Eden Games, and more.

On the other hand, Yuga Labs is another gaming giant and NFT investment firm. The digital asset firm is the parent to one of the most successful NFT projects, including Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, TwelveFold, Otherdeed for Otherside, and more.

The two gaming giants, Animoca Brands, and Yuga Labs, will work together to develop Legends of the Mara, a 2D standalone experience powered by ApeCoin. The new game will feature Otherside Koda NFT collection and introduce a new collection called Mara, which can evolve into Kodamara.

Otherside Legends Of The Mara NFT Game Explained

In order to play the new game, Yuga Labs will begin by gifting Otherdeed NFT collection holders with a Vessel. Each claimed Vessel would be sent to the Otherdeed-holding wallet as a separate ERC-721 token with a new smart contract NFT collection.

Each Vessel will feature several functions, including assigned random Hunting, Farming, or Enchanting. Once Mara has emerged from their Vessels as a new NFT collection, users can purchase and sell them through various trading platforms.

According to the site publication, Otherdeed NFT collection holders will start claiming their new Vessels this week. The metaverse game will launch earlier next month after the end of the recently launched “The 2nd Trip of the Otherside.”
