Metacade has launched Gangs of Metacadia, its first independent game on the Base blockchain, promising a high-stakes experience in a vibrant, neon-lit metropolis where five gangs battle for control through strategic heists, influence missions, and intense wars. Backed by the Metacade team and Rockstar Games co-founder Jamie King, Gangs of Metacadia delivers a blend of strategy, competition, and rewards that’s set to reshape Web3 gaming.
“In Gangs of Metacadia, you’re immersed in a futuristic world where five rival gangs constantly compete for dominance,” says Metacade CEO Russell Bennett. “Players join a gang, mint an insignia, and unlock the core features of the game—recruitment, influence-building, and heist planning. The gameplay taps into Metacade’s core principles of Play, Build, Connect, and Earn, so there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a gamer, investor, or creator.”
The five gangs—Neon Syndicate, Chrome Serpents, Sewer Rats, Digital Drifters, and Iron Shadows—each bring distinct gameplay strategies as players vie for citywide influence. Core features of the game include:
- Recruitment Building: Strengthen your gang’s power by recruiting new members to build influence.
- Influence Building: Elevate or undermine gang influence, a key element in winning wars and claiming territory.
- War Room: Gang leaders can declare wars against rivals, with winners absorbing the loser’s treasury—strategy and timing are essential.
- Heist Planning: Organize heists to raid enemy treasuries, increasing funds and earning personal rewards.
- Vault Protection: Safeguard your assets with vault upgrades to defend against rival raids.
- Gear Shop: Outfit your gang for optimal performance during missions and heists.
Season 1 testing of Gangs of Metacadia recently closed with impressive results: over 700,000 $MCADE was transacted during the soft launch, equating to $5,000, with more than 40 players joining the fray. As Metacade expands its game offerings, Gangs of Metacadia stands as a significant milestone, setting new standards for Web3 content on Base.
