Bored Ape Yacht Club<\/a> creator Yuga Labs announced this week that an open beta test for its Legends of the Mara (LotM) game experience will launch in September, granting Otherdeed <\/span>virtual land<\/span><\/a> NFT<\/span><\/a> holders a new NFT and another taste of the broader Otherside metaverse<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the firm, <\/span>Legends of the Mara<\/span><\/a> is a \u201ccollection-based 2D strategy game,\u201d whereas Otherside itself is a large-scale 3D game. LotM will also reveal more information about the Kodas, which are small, bipedal creatures that exist on 10% out of the original 100,000 Otherdeed land plots\u2014but are not tied to them forever<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LotM is billed as part of the broader <\/span>Otherside<\/span><\/a> metaverse<\/span><\/a> game in development at Yuga Labs, which has offered two closed Otherside playtest experiences (or \u201cTrips\u201d) thus far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next month we release the open beta for LoTM \u2014 and there\u2019s much more to come. We\u2019ve partnered with @farawaygg<\/a> and are building a major expansion in Unity. But we want to get an early version in the community\u2019s hands now so you can play and provide feedback while we keep building. https:\/\/t.co\/g97MF6f3m8<\/a><\/p>\n

In Legends of the Mara, players will be able to evolve their Mara into a more powerful Kodamara, harvest \u201csediment,\u201d and defeat evil forces that may attack their Otherdeed lands, according to Otherside\u2019s <\/span>website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

All Otherdeed NFT land holders will be able to claim a Vessel<\/a>, regardless of whether they possess a Koda on their land plot. Each Vessel will grow into a Mara character that, \u201cunder the right conditions with the right catalyst,\u201d will be able to evolve further into a Kodamara. Mara and Kodamara characters will also be able to protect Otherside, but they won\u2019t be as powerful as the original Kodas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There will also be three main types of Maras: Hunter, Farmer, and Enchanter. Mara evolution is partly determined by Otherside\u2019s five constellations, known as its \u201cOdiac,\u201d which are spread across four seasons. Maras will have to consume a \u201cseasonal Catalyst\u201d to evolve, and the traits of the land they live on as a Mara will determine their traits when they evolve into a Kodamara.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yuga Labs shared Thursday that the Legends of the Mara experience will \u201c<\/span>evolve<\/span><\/a> over the coming months\u201d and that Otherdeed NFT holders will receive various rewards. “More capabilities will be uncovered as the full launch nears,” the company tweeted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm first released its <\/span>Otherdeed NFTs<\/span><\/a> in May 2022 to much fanfare, with a high-profile mint that clogged the <\/span>Ethereum<\/span><\/a> network and sent gas prices soaring. To date, Otherdeeds have yielded over $1.26 billion worth of trading volume, per data from CryptoSlam<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
