Shiba Inu Reveals Shiba Eternity Web3 Upgrade Is Here

Shiba Inu is close to officially complete the integration of its popular game, Shiba Eternity, with its proprietary layer-2 blockchain, Shibarium. Lucie, the marketing lead for Shiba Inu, disclosed today on X that the Shiba Eternity Web3 upgrade is coming.

Shiba Inu’s Shib Eternity Goes Web3

Lucie describes this upgrade as a significant evolution for the game as it introduces new features and blockchain-based dynamics. “Unleash your inner alpha in Shibatopia arena: Shiba Eternity’s Web3 upgrade is here, featuring ranked tournaments and blockchain-backed card battles,” Lucie announced.

The transition of Shiba Eternity to Shibarium is turning the digital cards into web3 assets. “Shiba Eternity evolves with Web3 integration, transforming digital cards into unique assets on Shibarium,” Lucie remarked. These assets are now tradable and can be showcased, which adds a layer of collectibility and tradeability absent from the game’s previous web2 version.

The new structure of Shiba Eternity also introduces a systematic competition framework. Players start their journey as White Belts and aim to climb the ranks to Grandmaster status within cycles lasting 15 days. Each cycle includes 14 divisions, with players earning points for victories and losing points for defeats, mimicking the progression and ranking systems found in traditional competitive games.

As part of the upgrade, cards earned during gameplay are minted as NFTs directly on Shibarium. This process grants players ownership rights over their digital assets, allowing them to trade, sell, or hold their cards as they see fit.

Furthermore, the game features over 10,000 unique Shiboshis heroes, each equipped with special abilities. These heroes serve as the central figures in each player’s deck, determining the flow and strategy of gameplay.

Thus, Shiba Eternity now involves a more complex gameplay structure where players must carefully build a 30-card deck and strategically manage their “Bark” pool, which functions similarly to mana in other collectible card games. The use of Bark allows players to execute attacks, defenses, and special abilities. The objective of the game is to strategically outplay the opponent, leading their stamina to drop to zero, which secures victory.

Angel, the lead for Shiba Inu Games, commented on the new ranked mode’s competitive and rewarding aspects. “Our new ranked mode aims to keep your competitive spirit alive as you play Shiba Eternity. Battle your way from White Belt to Grandmaster and your grit will be met with rewards.”

Furthermore, top players from the ranked tournaments qualify for seasonal tournaments that promise even greater rewards. “Top contenders of the 15-day tournaments will receive invitations to Seasonal Tournaments, with even more impressive prizes. We’ll share more details on this as we go about the Beta,” Angel added.

Lucie concluded the announcement with an invitation to the Shiba Inu army: “Shiba Eternity transitions from a Web2 collectible card game to a Web3 powerhouse, offering ranked tournaments, NFT minting, and strategic gameplay. This evolution ensures player ownership and pushes the boundaries of blockchain gaming. Ready to dominate the digital battlefield in Shibatopia? The gates are open, and the challenge awaits.”
