Unleash Chaos in Serum City 🏬

GM Guys and Gals,

Are you ready to jump into a dystopian world where Mutant Apes take centre stage? Buckle up and grab your serum, because the gritty, psychedelic siblings from the Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) are about to shake things up in the new Ethereum NFT game, Serum City!

Lior Messika, a Mutant Ape collector himself and Yuga Labs investor is turning the underdog story of Mutant Apes into a Web3 gaming extravaganza.

Novel Labs is partnering with Faraway—developer of the Solana-based Mini Royale: Nations—to create a city-builder game that uses ApeCoin as its primary in-game currency.

Serum City is a place where Bored Apes are the ruling class, while Mutant Apes dwell on society's fringes after consuming the serum.

The game, which features an "illustrated" or comic book-inspired aesthetic, allows players to dive into the Mutant Cartel Expanded Universe, following the intriguing adventures of characters like Blaksoot and Darkfang.

To play, you'll need to own an NFT from the Bored Ape or Mutant Ape collections, or one from Novel Labs' own derivative Genesis Oath and Mutant Hound NFT collections. Over time, the game will open up to more players with each new in-game season.

Worried about Serum City being "just another NFT game"? Fear not, intrepid gamers! Messika is on a mission to defy the superficial nature of early NFT-based games and promises a deeper, more engaging experience.

And if you're wondering about Yuga Labs' involvement, they've given the green light for NFT holders to use and commercialize their artwork, so Novel Labs didn't need to check in with them before building Serum City. Talk about permissionless innovation!

As a cherry on top, items crafted in Serum City will be NFTs that can be transferred and used in future Novel Labs games, with the potential for "cross-game and cross-universe events."

So get ready, Ape fans: Serum City is set to launch in August, and it's time to bring your Mutant Ape to life in this action-packed, ApeCoin-powered metropolis!
