More About Serum City
Serum City is an innovative blockchain-based city-building game developed by Novel Labs and Faraway. The game leverages NFT assets from Yuga Labs' Mutant Ape Yacht Club and other collections, incorporating a visually striking, comic book-inspired aesthetic. Positioned as a transmedia game, it seamlessly blends interactive gameplay with narrative elements.
What's New in Season 2
From July 8th to January 9th, players can explore a revamped gameplay environment in Serum City, encountering new characters and competing for substantial rewards.
Season 2 builds upon the success of its predecessor by rewarding returning players with bonuses based on their previous achievements. Participants from Season 1 enjoy a head start through accumulated Season Points, with additional rewards linked to their progression through the new season's pass.
Gameplay Features and Enhancements
The focal point of Season 2 is the introduction of Energy as a crucial resource, obtainable through various activities such as fulfilling orders at Ape Railways and the Pirate Radio Station. Energy powers gameplay throughout Serum City, facilitating engagement with new mechanics like the Washing Room, where players can gamble for diverse rewards using currencies such as Cigs and Cartel Chips.
Introducing Turf Wars: New PvP Mode
A standout feature of Season 2 is Turf Wars, a PvP mode set in the Clink, a prisoner-operated penitentiary overseen by the enigmatic Franken Bombay. Using Cigs, players can strategically attack rival bases, deploying hired security to defend their territory. Victories in Turf Wars yield trophy points called Teeth, along with valuable prizes including crafting materials and Doubloons.
Compete for the $100K Prize Pool
Season 2 offers a total prize pool of $100,000 in Ape tokens, distributed among the top 99 players. While specific details on rewards are forthcoming, the first-place winner will receive $25,000, Car Parts, and a Fusing Augment. Second and third place winners will receive $12,500 and $7,500 worth of tokens, respectively.
Players advance on the leaderboard through various methods, including rankings in other leaderboards and increasing their Holdings Power Score, influenced by HQ traits and Car collections. Unique HQ trait modifiers known as Blessings are earned through in-game achievements.
