Nifty News: Assassin's Creed afslører 'smarte samleobjekter', MechaFightClub afvikler og mere

Tidsstempel: 12. maj 2023 kl. 11

Assassin’s Creed, one of Ubisoft’s most popular gaming franchises, has announced a series of customizable “smart collectibles” featuring digital and physical components.

The collectibles are set to drop on May 16 and consist of a transparent 3D-printed cube with a character figure inside and a Polygon-based nonfungible token (NFT) called a “Digital Soul,” which provides proof of ownership.

Fans of the series will need to purchase a Digital Soul NFT, which comes in two tiers of rarity. From there, they can customize their character with different poses, outfits and weapons and have the final product shipped to their door.

The amount of available customizations is tied to the level or rarity the person buys.

The “smart” aspect of the collectibles comes via an embedded near-field communication (NFC) chip placed on the 3D cube and a companion app.

Ved at scanne eller trykke på de fysiske samleobjekter kan brugere få adgang til appen for at fuldføre præstationer og tjene forskellige "genstande, opskrifter, loot boxes" og andre hjælpeprogrammer.

The collection is part of a broader project in partnership with Integral Reality Labs, which the Assassin’s Creed team describes as a “co-reality platform.”

Platformen vil snart have en markedsplads til at handle Assassin's Creed-samlerobjekter, og den skal også være vært for salget af "Pieces of Eden Pass" NFT'erne.

The collection comprises 1,500 tokens offering exclusive perks and experiences, and a “unique limited edition” Digital Soul NFT.

MechaFightClub 'sætter på ubestemt tid pause' operationer

Irreverent Labs’ Solana-based NFT game MechaFightClub announced on May 12 that it would be “indefinitely pausing” due to the lack of regulatory clarity in the United States.

The game was intended to revolve around NFT and artificial intelligence-based fighting robot chickens. However, the project has cited concerns about launching a blockchain-based in-game economy in the current regulatory climate.

As part of the shutting down process, from May 15 MechaFightClub will start buying back the NFTs it sold to the community for 18 Solana (SOL).

“Vi er en amerikansk virksomhed, og en uklarhed gør det svært for blockchain-virksomheder at operere her. I den nuværende regulatoriske forvirring kunne vi simpelthen ikke skabe en økonomi i spillet uden bekymring over de regulatoriske konsekvenser,” udtalte firmaet i en meddelelse.
