Shiba Inu is about to officially finalize the integration of its popular game, Shiba Eternity, with its proprietary layer-2 blockchain, Shibarium. Shiba Inu’s marketing manager, Lucie, revealed today on X that the Shiba Eternity Web3 upgrade is coming.
Shiba Inu’s Shib Eternity Goes Web3
Lucy describe This upgrade is a significant evolution for the game as it introduces new features and blockchain-based dynamics. “Unleash your inner alpha in the Shibatopia arena: Shiba Eternity“The Web3 upgrade is here, with ranked tournaments and blockchain-based card battles,” Lucie announced.
Shiba Eternity’s transition to Shibarium transforms digital cards into Web3 assets. “Shiba Eternity is evolving with Web3 integration, transforming digital cards into unique assets on Shibarium,” Lucie noted. These assets are now tradable and can be showcased, adding a layer of collectability and tradeability not presentable in the previous Web2 version of the game.
Shiba Eternity’s new structure also introduces a systematic competition framework. Players begin their journey as white belts and aim to climb the ranks to grandmaster status over the course of 15-day cycles. Each cycle consists of 14 divisions, with players earning points for wins and losing points for losses, mimicking the progression and ranking systems of traditional competitive games.
As part of the upgrade, cards earned during gameplay are minted as NFTs directly on ShibariumThis process grants players ownership rights over their digital assets, allowing them to trade, sell, or hold their cards as they see fit.
Additionally, the game features over 10,000 Shiboshis heroes, each with special abilities. These heroes serve as central characters in each player’s deck, determining the flow and strategy of the game.
Thus, Shiba Eternity now involves a more complex game structure where players must carefully construct a 30-card deck and strategically manage their supply of “bark”, which functions similarly to mana in other collectible card games. Using bark allows players to execute attacks, defenses, and special abilities. The objective of the game is to strategically outplay the opponent, bringing their stamina down to zero, which guarantees victory.
Angel, the head of Shiba Inu Games, commented on the competitive and rewarding aspects of the new Ranked Mode. “Our new Ranked Mode aims to keep your competitive spirit alive as you play Shiba Eternity. Fight your way from white belt to grandmaster and your courage will be rewarded.”
Additionally, top players in ranked tournaments qualify for seasonal tournaments that promise even bigger rewards. “Top contenders in 15-day tournaments will receive invitations to seasonal tournaments, with even bigger prizes. We’ll share more details on this as we move through the beta,” Angel added.
Lucie concluded the announcement by inviting the Shiba Inu Army: “Shiba Eternity is evolving from a Web2 collectible card game to a Web3 powerhouse, offering ranked tournaments, NFT creation, and strategic gameplay. This evolution ensures player ownership and pushes the boundaries of blockchain gaming. Ready to dominate the digital battlefield of Shibatopia? The gates are open and the challenge awaits.”
