Nick Mosier<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>On November 2, Studio 369 announced their multiplayer mech action game <em><strong>MetalCore<\/strong><\/em> for PC, with an alpha test starting in the spring of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MetalCore Reveal Teaser: First Look - P2E NFT Game\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6qvC1RYouok?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>MetalCore<\/em> is a mech-style action game where players can enjoy large-scale 100 player battles, as well as smaller-scale PvE content. Long ago, there was a civil war across the solar empire. The central government on earth tried to maintain order amid a scarcity of resources. From the struggle, a new technology called The Fabricator was born that could make nearly anything from raw materials. Thanks to this technology, humanity is able to colonize other solar systems. After much time passes, multiple splintered factions descend on a mineral rich planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players will fight for control as either a member of the Gearbreakers, Holy Corporation, or Metalpunks. In addition to the mechs players can pilot, the game will also feature ground vehicles and aircraft to use in combat. It hasn\u2019t been revealed how battles will play out, but we can infer from the trailer that there will be a variety of mechs and characters in the game, with mechs being controlled in first person perspective.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In addition to rewards for completing missions, you can acquire ownership of land to mine for resources or collect tax revenue from. Within your territory, you can also use blueprints to make vehicles, and buy and sell equipment. If you become a Baron within your faction, it will become possible to recruit players under you, to whom you can lend your own mechs to, to fight on your behalf in the game\u2019s guild system. It sounds like Barons will be able to purchase land and collect resources and tenant fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game touts that every item has value. Everything from mechs, to weapons, to cosmetics and blueprints will be certified unique as NFTs that can be bought and sold on an open market and have value in the real world. The game will have Play-2-Earn and Win-2-Earn mechanics as NFT items can be acquired through winning matches and playing the game.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211104-181235-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Studio 369 is made up of staff that have worked on games such as <em>MechWarrior 2, Mortal Kombat, and Gears of War<\/em>.
