The Project Dragon non-fungible token game will be 3D-monetized and an adrenaline-fueled action game designed to host large-scale team battles. The upcoming Project Dragon NFT game will launch exclusively on Otherside, a metaverse gaming world developed by Yuga Labs.

Yuga Labs’ Otherside is a gamified, interoperable metaverse currently under development. The gaming platform blends mechanics from massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) and web3-enabled virtual worlds. In August 2022, Yuga Labs launched the “First Trip” NFT game into the Otherside, where 4,500 concurrent users were able to join the 3D world.

In March 2023, Yuga Labs launched the “Second Trip”, an NFT game that successfully hosted over 7,000 users. The Bore Ape creator is back with another gameplay, which is expected to onboard more users than previous gameplays. Crypto users and gamers holding Meebits, Voyagers, Kodas, BAYC, MAYC, BAKC, Grailed, Moonbirds, Kodamara, and HVs NFT collections will be able to participate in the game.
