By In the rapidly evolving realm of blockchain gaming, MetaCene has once again proven its leadership with the successful conclusion of its Alpha Test 2. This AAA-inspired next-gen MMORPG, incubated and published by MixMarvel, continues to redefine the fusion of immersive gameplay and blockchain innovation. As the curtains fall on this latest testing phase, the results are not just impressive numbers; these serve as proof of the vibrant community’s engagement and the efficacy of the gameplay mechanics that were thoroughly enjoyed by the testers.
Building on the success of its first Alpha Test, MetaCene’s Alpha Test 2 was a showcase of enhanced gameplay, deeper community involvement, and the introduction of new NFTs and tokens as integral parts of the gaming experience. Over the course of 16 days, a diverse player base immersed themselves in a world where every action and interaction had weight and consequence, further enriching the MetaCene universe.
By the Numbers: A Community Engrossed in MetaCene
