What is MetalCore?
MetalCore stands as a sci-fi MMO featuring epic mech battles, PvPvE scenarios, intricate crafting mechanics, and a player-driven economy. Set on the planet Kerberos, players ascend from foot soldiers, progressing through ranks while expanding their arsenal of mechs and war machines. Notably, MetalCore is the pioneering title built directly on the Immutable zkEVM blockchain.

MetalCore has garnered prestigious accolades such as Best Blockchain Game of the Year at the Global Blockchain Show and Best Shooter Game at the 2022 GAM3 Awards. The game’s innovative “scanning” system allows players to craft new weaponry and vehicles using blueprints obtained from defeated foes, adding depth to its gameplay.

SHARDS play a pivotal role in player advancement, cosmetics, and quality-of-life enhancements within the game.
